i can see that there are many interpretations of the situation and in my opinion, the best way to handle the situation is to simply be patient. she knows that you are already interested in her when you asked her for coffee. whether she rejected you or not is irrelevant at this point.
before you leave your practicum, you want to do something that will leave her a lasting memory of you. as you merely texted her for a coffee request, her perception of you can be improved.
what i like to do is to perform a bogus magic trick. ask her to hold open both of her hands. place a coin inside one of her hands and hold tightly her other hand. if her hold is loose, tell her that for the trick to work, her hold has to be firm. place your open hand underneath her hand with the coin on it. ask her a series of questions, whatever you want. i generally like to ask questions that help
me know the girl better ie what is your favourite hobbie. after each question, ask her to close her hand and reopen it when you start the next question. when you feel ready, simply tell her that there is no magic trick and that you simply wanted to hold her hands because you think she is cute
this trick is good because it will give you both a good laugh and something to talk about. you can also transition out of the magic trick by assessing her interest in you and if you so choose, ask her out one last time before you leave for good. you have nothing to lose.
if you choose not to use this trick for this girl, keep it in your toolbox for future endeavors. it is obvious that you should use this on a girl who you have already aquainted with and can prove to be powerful in the sense that it creates phyical contact between the yourself and the girl of interest with a seemingly legitimate reason.
this trick also makes your interest in the girl unequivocal, rendering your intentions clear and reducing the chances of the dreaded friendzone, albeit if she is just not interested she will friendzone you regardless.
i recently used this trick to ask for a girls number. this girl is a coworker of mine but she recently left to pursue a PhD. yes i know she is way out of my league.
i would invite her to hang out with me at the bar (we work in a restaurant) but she left without stopping by the bar. she texted me an apology later that night and i merely said "no problem. have a good night". about a week later i asked her to come chat with me after her shift as i wanted to catch up. again she didnt show and apologized via facebook message. at this point i was apathetic and did not pursue her anymore, and i did not contact her in anyway for about a week and a half.
before her last day, she messaged me on facebook that she was sorry about all the times she left without staying with me and that she would love to grab coffee with me when she comes back from her conference in singapore. due to her propensity to flake, i did not take her coffee offer with too much weight. i still felt pretty awesome having a cute girl asking me out for coffee though lol. anyways, i saw her at work yesterday when she stopped by to drop off her uniform and she spoke to me. in summation, she said that she was sad how this was the last time she would see me and that her schedule was just a mess etc. she told me that she gets back on mar26 and she would like to get together.
this is a terribly long winded example, but what i am trying to say is, state your interest and if she does not respond positively despite you giving her your attention, withdraw and simply ignore her. girls get confused and crave for the attention that they lost, and this can sometimes be beneficial to you, as illustrated by my example. dont lose hope but at the same time dont waste time and energy on her if the feeling and attraction is not reciprocated.
good luck op, and share the knowledge.
