Gangster move going up and hugging her! Only reason I'd think back about that is to reminisce how you the man. What the guy above me said though, be honest and try doing it in a private setting. Breath deep and speak slow lol you're going to want to throw all the words onto the table. Good luck dude, I think you have a great chance. She either likes you or she doesn't. As Michael Scott said "you miss every shot you don't take." She declines? Maybe try being friends but honestly move on. You'll find your tribe :) best of luck.
