But at this point, if she decides she is interested in him, she will reach out to him. She already knows he is interested.
It isn't fun being asked out and having to turn someone down. I wouldn't make her have to go through it a third time.
I'd normally agree, if she flat out rejected him. But she said "I'll have to think about it" that automatically leaves the door open. I think "hey, have you given going out with me any more thought?" is appropriate. Then you can get a more clear answer.
Btw, not that this is relevant to this case, but in many countries a man is expected to ask a girl out multiple times before she says yes.
She is letting him down easy. I've done it myself many times. Saying no is very hard.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
