What would be the straight up best way to extract the info I need?
If I just come straight up and ask... I'm worried about it turning into something awkward......... *sadface.jpg*
*sigh* I hate to do this - but there are awkward moments in life. And if you spend your life avoiding them, then there isn't a whole lot of living one can do while buried in a shelter. Extracting info? This is a person, not a database. One can be indirect; ask her to go out sometime, invite her to spend time with you, see if she expresses interest. Time is an interesting thing; we tend not to waste it when it comes to sharing it with others.
Can it be awkward? Damn right. Will it continue to be awkward if you don't make a decision of some sort? Yes. So it's a damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don't situation, except that you're not going to find out anything if you do nothing. From what I can tell, you two have been flirting, perhaps hanging out a little bit. Unless you've talked, she isn't your first girlfriend - but she has the potential to be. So why waste the potential with anxious unknowing?
There is no easy way - risks, rejection and awkwardness are part and parcel of this whole deal.
