Honestly, its not that big a deal. People ask others out and get rejected all the time, sometimes even in public. I've had some friends who had some really rough rejections when asking girls out, yet neither myself or other friends in our circle judged them for it.
The best solution is to just move on. Maybe you could have picked a better time to ask her out, but honestly I wouldn't call this situation a friendship-killer. There might be a little awkwardness between you and her, but based on your description of events, it'll probably be both minuscule and short lived. Your being far too hard on yourself and giving this way more importance than it actually has. This is a pretty tame situation all things considered.
