I feel like I'm doing better? Am I doing any better?

So in a previous post I requited advice on how to ask out a girl who might actually and surprisingly be interested in me. So today I decided to man up and get her phone number, but I had no success. She didn't reject me, we where basically talking for like a half an hour while she was working and then when I needed to leave I asked for her digits, and she told she would get in trouble for taking her phone out, so she told me to come back later. So I went back to try a second time, and the cafeteria was swamped, I had to wait behind three people just to ask her for her number again. She didn't give it to me, for the same reasons, plus the added reason of it being really busy today. Right before I left that second time, she told me I should definitely come back and ask her again, and she gave me an outline of what her work week is like.

I'm still a complete dumby when it comes to picking up on interest and emotion, but it felt like she was encouraging me to come back and try again. I still feel that with at least asking her number, and talking to her for a little while longer, that I am progressing with my ability to comfortably talk to a girl I find interesting. Yet at the same time I feel like I'm just gonna fail either way, like when I do get her number I'll just be totally rejected.

You should return at the end of her shift or she will keep giving you the same reason (pretty sure that's what she meant by "later", if she couldn't do it during her shift the first time, why would she be able to the second time when it's even busier?). She gave you her schedule, so you can return at a more appropriate time. Do not attempt to get her number again while she is working.

Edit: Actually thinking this through some more, I'm quite confused. Why does she need to get her phone out to tell you what her phone number is? She does sound interested ("you should definitely come back and try again"), but it's also a bit strange.

i've met a bit of people who don't know their own number without looking it up in their phone.
I know my cell phone number but not my home phone .
