Why are you afraid to do this? Remember, the only way to get rid of the fear is to face it and do it. You'll grow stronger and courageous in the meanwhile.
While you're at it, think of it this way: if she rejects you, or even if she humiliates you, it has very little or nothing to do with you-you. She doesn't know anything about you yet, for christ's sake. She may have a policy against going out with customers, or she has had prevous bad experiences with guys who wear grey (I'm not kidding about this). It doesn't mean she's rejected you, simply that the value you can provide and the value she's interested in are incompatible. You may be concerned about not doing things right, and if you don't do things "right" you won't get the girl and then...what? you'll blame yourself? you'll be fine either way and you'll gain more experience either way. Buck up and find someone else.
BTW, being rejected in front of a group isn't so bad. Don't make assumptions of what's going through their heads either. It might be "what a loser" or it might be, "boy, I wish I had the courage to do that", and in either case, it has nothing to do with you, it has to do with their standards and their judgments.
So, just do it! Good luck!
