How do I ask her out in a way that's romantic, yet not too cheesy if she says no?

Ok, so tomorrow I'm gonna hang out with this girl I like and I want to ask her out. I want to ask her out soon after I see her tomorrow, that way if she says yes we can do what couples do and if she says no we'll still have time to hang out (I'm totally prepared for rejection, even if she says No I still want to hang out).

I don't know how to say it and make it seem somewhat romantic. I've been telling her about a girl I like and how I'm gonna ask her out the next time I see her (I think she may already know it's her), so maybe I could nonchalantly be say:

"Oh, yeah, you know that girl I said I was gonna ask out? Well it's you, I like you a lot, I feel the happiest when I'm with you, and I think about you all the time. Go out with me."

Or I could just go with a "I like you a lot, be my girlfriend."

Or I could say, "I don't want to wait until it's time for you to go home to say this: I like you SO much, will you be my girlfriend?"

The thing is, since I'm about 75% sure she's gonna say No, what can I do to make things not awkward after she rejects me (if she rejects me)?

I'll see if she wants to be friends with benefits, if she says no then that's as far as I'll go, I'll control myself.

Honestly I don't want to be her boyfriend anymore. What she did was irreversible and I won't be able to forget it. So even if I did want to date her the fact that she lost her virginity to some guy who she doesn't even like romantically right after I asked her out will always be in the back of my mind.

She turned me down, but for some reason she let me fool around with her (No sex, just a lot of touching) afterwards so I was confused. She said she didn't have anyone she liked, so I thought I still had a chance.

Well, like a few weeks after I asked her out she lost her virginity to some other dude...Needless to say I was crushed, I just wanted to die. She told me like 2 or 3 weeks after it happened and she's not even going out with the guy or considering it. It felt like a spit in the face.

I got over it and we hung out one night. I guess the guilt got to her or something and she started crying, I could've been a dick about it and told her to quit feeling bad for herself, but I really do love her, so I just comforted her.

Now, I just don't care, I don't want to be her boyfriend anymore, I just want to keep things casual.

She came to hang out like last week sometime, she was lying in my bed, I wanted to make out with her, but I resisted for as long as I could because I don't know exactly how I feel about her, then I just ended up giving in. We made I out, I was hard, she was wet, but we didn't take it any further than just kissing.

We're still friends, but things have changed.
