I've been in similar situations in the past and I've found that the best way to get the answer you want is to ask in a manner that doesn't give her any "wiggle-room". By that I mean that if the first answer you get is unsatisfactory, ask again until you get a yes or no. And if you get a maybe, assume it's a no and tell her to let you know if things change somewhere down the line. There's nothing worse than waiting.

Now for the ladies out there reading this, please take note. If you tell a guy maybe or you'll think about it, he's always going to think he has a shot. The best way to give him the message is to tell him straight in no uncertain terms. Don't be cruel or ugly about it, just be honest and firm.
