After being rejected by her, shall I turn to her friend???

Hi,
I live in Japan and has been studying in an engineering school for like 3 years now. As you know, engineering school is made up of 90% boys and 10% girls. In addition, I am living in the school's dormitory which is very faaaaaarrrrr away from the town. Therefore, it is very hard to find a girlfriend here.
Three years ago, when I first came to the school, I wanted to have a Japanese girlfriend (I m not Japanese but I m living in Japan). So...I just chose one of my classmate (she was 17), and asked her out. She said she already had a boyfriend and denied my invitation. Well, that happens to me almost all the time so I didn't care. BUT, here is the problem: she told to ALL of her friends that I (foreigner) asked her (Japanese) out. The next day I WAS VERY POPULAR lol, not because I did something great but because I asked her out and everyone had known about what I ve done. And since that time, almost all the girls in my school (= only 10 % of the students) especially my classmates were afraid to talk to me. And I am sure they were talking behind my back. (Note: I am the only non-Japanese guy in my school)
Well, for the next years, I ve tried to maintain good relations with people and tried to be "nice". Now, Three years later, the girls started to interact with me again. Annnnddd... here I come again, I kinda like one of my classmate who is the best friend of the first one I ve asked out 3 years ago.
I really wants to ask her for a date but I am afraid she would reject me and she would tell her friends about that, like the one before. And if that happens, I would be very popular again as a "hentai" ("hentai" is a Japanese adjective referring to sexual perversion)

What should I do??? Shall I ask her or not???

 

her loss. go for whomever you like.

 

You should never be afraid to ask someone out. If she says no, oh well you tried. But you don't want to go through life afraid to ask someone out because guess what, she just might say yes.

 

I think you should first start to interact with her, so she can start liking you and she will talk to her best friend about it and then you probably will be sure that she will say yes to you.
Suddenly coming to her and asking her out might not work

 

id get to know her first. I don't understand what the big deal was that you asked her out. Is it frowned upon that a non japanese ask out a japanese person?

 

@ the question
Yes......

 

Depends if you now will go out with her friend/fuck her, you might/will destroy your firendship,,


But if you dont care about it go for it,
