How to ask her out when she keeps saying maybe next time

Look at what she actually said. If she's replying warmly, using emojis, asking you questions back, and still saying maybe, the interest is real but the timing or her availability is the problem. If her replies are short, slow, or she changes the subject when plans come up, the maybe is probably a polite way of declining. Both can look identical in a single message, so the pattern across several exchanges is what tells you something.

Also notice whether she ever suggests a time herself. Someone who wants to see you will usually propose a day, even a loose one like "maybe Thursday?" If she only ever defers to future plans without naming any, she's keeping the option open without committing to it. That's information too, and it's worth taking seriously before you put in a fourth ask.

The most useful thing your message can do is replace the open-ended maybe with a concrete choice. Name a specific activity, a specific day or a narrow window, and where you'd meet. Give her a way to say no that doesn't require an explanation, like "if this week's too packed, no worries at all." That line lowers the cost of declining, which oddly makes a yes more likely because she doesn't feel cornered.

Keep it short. Long messages with several options and a justification read as pressure. One clear proposal, one easy exit, and nothing else. If she says yes, you've got a plan. If she says no or ignores it, you've learned something without having to ask why.

Timing is where most people go wrong after a maybe. If she said maybe and you circle back the next day, you're signalling that you didn't hear her, which is worse than the first ask. Give it at least a week before raising it again, and make the second ask a real one with a specific proposal, not a reminder that she owes you a yes.

If she doesn't reply to the specific ask, or replies with another vague maybe, that's your answer. Stop asking. A third round of pursuit almost never turns a maybe into a yes. Send a short, friendly closer if you want to close the loop, something that lets her off the hook, and then put your attention on people who are actually making time for you.
