How many times do you ask a girl on a second date before giving up?

Anonymous
In my instance, I'm having a hard time deciding. I've asked her twice for a second date, and she never said outright she wasn't interested; on the contrary, she'd call a few days after I ask her and ask me when I want to take her. But whenever I suggest a day or an alternative day, she gives an excuse, and the last time she said it, she said something along the lines of "I guess I'm not meant to ice skate in front of you and look like a fool."

When she said that, my gut told me that she just didn't want to go out. In addition, sometimes she waited a day, leaving me hanging, before giving me an excuse she couldn't go.

So I just let it go; I figured I asked her too many times as it is for a second date. I just want to arrest all doubts in my mind that she really was busy all those times; then again, she never suggested alternate days herself.
