Does It Make Sense To Ask Her Again?

I am a 20-year-old boy, I am a student and I study in a building with many girls between the ages of 18-26. I recently suggested to a colleague that we go together, she is 22, quite intelligent, with a sense of humor, with character ... and I have feelings for her and trust. At first I didn't tell her about my intentions and started flirting with her, but I didn't want to linger too long so I decided to sit down together and discuss things. Before that, she had gone with a boy of 24 whom she had feelings for and who dumped her a month later. In principle, we are in a friendly relationship and I think that's why she doesn't want us to go together, we also have a lot of mutual friends that we hold dear. And yet she replied that she did not have such feelings for me and that she was sincere in her answer. After that answer ... I had a few good times, when we were able to talk in private about it, but I did not dare because I know her character ... and I thought that if I delve deeper into this she may lose confidence in me and think of me as a misunderstood person. The last time I noticed, I think, was that she was dating a boy, a colleague of her ex. For now, she is calm ... and I don't know ... I wonder if it makes sense to ask her again about whether she wants something special : /
