How can i become friends with the girl i like?

To make a long story short, i added this girl on facebook from work that i liked(we're both 20). We used to be in a group. Anyway i added her and left a message. She didn't respond. Last Friday i invited her to eat lunch with me alone. she said no because she was gonna go eat with two of her friends from work(which actually r 2 of my friends also). Sunday at work she apologized for not coming to eat with me. Then monday i left her a message on facebook saying that i found her nice for apologizing and told her that i just wanted to get to know her better. today is friday and i havent gotten any message back. At work for the whole week i felt as if she was avoiding me and when she wasn't(again because we r in a group) i felt this tension between us. Basically i understand that she knows i like her and just is tiptoeing around me so as not to hurt my feelings because she doesnt like me. To tell you the honest truth i think i would prefer to have her as a friend just to be around her than to go on like this and have her avoid me. Now explain to me; how can i do this?How can i become friends with the girl i like?
one rule, weatrher she likes you or not.

Good luck. You've gone and made it awkward and it'll probably never be the same again.
Maybe don't be so pushy, no offence. like don't keep asking her things like if she didn't respond on facebook check the last time she was on. and if she was on while you sent it or probly saw the message, don't keep messing her. and deffintly don't ask her out, again. I know how you feel, lol. but for you're own good just try to get to know her a little don't let her think you like her, or she might think you're weird if she doesn't like you. and also, be funny girls like funny. [ not MEAN funny ] and deffintly don't make fun of people girls will think you're mean. and maybe just say something funny in a meeting or something, or give like a look, that she will laugh about. don't take this the wrong way, but LOOK GOOD! every relation ship starts out with sexual reasons. looks, humor, and care, are what girls look for in men, at least, me and half the people i know! but lol, try you're best! i wish you the best luck!
When you say ';in a group,'; do you mean like 12 Step or something? Doesn't matter, I guess. The main thing is that sometimes it is better not to rush things. Some women are skittish by nature. Some have had bad relationships already. And then, even a beautiful woman can lack self confidence or have esteem issues.



To make a friend just be a friend. Keep it simple like that.
its pretty awkward already with her thinking u like her so just ask if u and some of ur coworkers can hang out somewhere
