what to think?

So there's this girl who used to like me about 2 years ago but I didn't have any experience with girls and I had no clue what to do so I just left it. She then got a boyfriend and they were together for about a year and a half, they broke up last week and straight away her boyfriend, now ex, went and slept with another girl.

Now I'm much more confident, I started talking to her on Facebook a couple of days ago and she was being really nice and always replying straight away. I asked her this morning if she wanted to go out and do something and she said yes at first, but then changed her mind saying because she'd only recently broke up it might cause arguments.

Do you think she might have just said that because she doesn't like me anymore or what? Should I still carry on speaking to her?

You guessed it.
The only way to resolve anything really is by communication. If she has liked you in the past then it's probable, not certain, that she could still have feelings for you.
As I said though, keep talking to her. Surprisingly she may just mean what she said, she just needs time for things to move on and for herself.
Keep in mind that when I say keep talking to her I mean regular friendly talking, not over the top clingy kind of stuff every couple of seconds (unless she's in to that I guess, I don't know).

If she just went out of a year long relationship then you should wait a little more until her mind is clearer.

Okay thank you

If she's been in a relationship for a year and a half, that's a really long time. If she just broke up a week ago and her ex started sleeping with other girls immediately, she's probably sad and confused, and doesn't feel right going out with other guys right away. If I were in a relationship that long, I would want some time to think it through as well.

Should I ask her again? And how long should I wait before I do?

Talk to her but just give her some space, she is probably still deciding what she really wants and may have some trust issues after what happened so just be a friend to her until she is ready for something more!

Not yet; she's still hurt and confused over her break-up. It take time to heal and get over an ex. The only thing you should do is be a friend and make her feel better during this time. In a few weeks, she might be ready to forget about him, and she probably won't forget how nice you were to her, and maybe then she'll give you a shot to prove yourself. Definitely take Mike's advice!

I'd wait a little bit before I'd ask her out. If I was you I would just keep talking to her. Be her friend, just be there for her. This is probably the time she needs a real friend the most. When everything settles down then you can take it farther. I also don't think she was just blowing you off or being disingenuous when she said she didn't want to go out to avoid potential drama. Her ex sounds like a douche...and while it's okay for him to sleep around right after the relationship he'll probably still try to be a dick to her if she starts dating. And you don't want to be in that situation of dealing with her annoying ex.
