OK, I had a friend, Luke ask a girl named Jenny if she wanted to go out for ice cream some day with me. I've never met this girl, just passed her in the halls, but everbody knows everybody at RHS (high school). So she says no and I get home and I find that she is online. I added her last night because i talk to Luke all the time online and he gave me her username on yahoo messenget. So I ask her "you don't want to go out for ice cream with me?" she says "I don't think so, sorry". So we get to talking a bit and I tell her that i like planes, and she says that she loves flying and I told her I know a lot about planes. She says she knows some airlines and have been on about 30 flights. Now that is so cool, finally I found someone that likes planes, but she already said "no" on the ice cream date. How do i sorta redeam myself, because she is good looking into sports....and likes planes!

All she said was simply "No I don't think so" that was BEFORE I knew she liked (kinda) planes.

Its redeem.
anyways, keep talking to her. Maybe go out spotting with her. Save the ice cream date for later. Just try to hang out spontaneously. You've found your in, now just work it.

I suggest getting to know her better. Keep chatting with her online, then talk with her more in person. Do not leave out the step of talking to her in person. This way she will never know who the guy behind the monitor really is.

...and she says that she loves flying.
If only there was a girl like that in my hometown...
Anyway, follow what the guys have said above. Get to know her better; her thoughts, interests, etc. Just be yourself around her/over Yahoo Messenger & maybe she'll change her mind. Try to (maybe) find a time where you can hang out with her, like at a football game, the mall, or, as mentioned before, go spotting. Maybe bring aviation up sometimes when you talk to her, maybe give her a better "education" into our world or something.

"I don't think so, sorry".
That's a very definitive statement. She does not want to go out with you, end of story. You also have nothing to redeem as you did nothing wrong.
Don't waste your time e-mailing her or chatting on line with her. A polite hello when you see her at school is enough. She's not that great, trust me.
What is it with all the "is there a possibilty airline X will.." threads? The answer it'll is possible.

Play with the words- if she doesn't want to go out for ice cream, bring the ice cream to her.

Notar520AC posted a great thought. Humour is a great icebreaker. Though I stand by my previous post, you have nothing to lose except an ice cream.
Do that. If she laughs, you've got a good chance.

Perhaps it was more a no to the ice cream rather than to you. Is she lactose-intolerant by any chance? I'd go with Notar's suggestion, though straight up asking her for sex might work. *kidding*
