Is it hopeless with this girl?

I've been working with this girl a few nights a week for the past month now(She is leaving for a new job in 2 weeks). And I have really come to like and respect her. Normally I wouldn't have the nerve to ask her out but the older gentlemen I work with( married men) starting telling me she was really into me. So i finally got up the nerve to ask her out but when I did she told me that I was not old enough for her. I am one year older then her. Needless to say the wind was stolen from my sails. The other night I was talking with the gentlemen who gave me the nerve to ask her out. They asked me if I had figured out that she liked me yet. I responded to them "your wrong and I know that for a fact". They all looked at me kind of strange. I told them "I know cause I tried!" Then they asked me what I said, I told them I just asked her out and she told me I wasn't old enough for her. They were all rather shocked that I had been rejected on that basis and suggested maybe she wanted me to "whoo" her more. Frankly I still like the girl, I think she's the closest I've come to finding the woman of my dreams, but I've kind of been rejected so I don't have much nerve left. Should I bother spending anymore time on her or should I just move on?

Ask her once more, but only once more. If it's yes, then great. If not, then move on.

Well I asked her again if I could take her out to dinner and she said yes. Now I just have to find a time we can go out she is a busy busy girl. Wish me luck.

Excellent. You've already established the fundamental, now it's just a matter of arranging the details. Congratulations, and good luck!
