This girl confuses me.. please help me understand.
Alright well, here is my situation, I'll start from the beginning.
For a few months now I've worked at a restaurant with a girl who I began having feelings for. Well, I'd start to flirt with her and notice a change in her behavior almost instantly. She would be more talkative, more physical, and flirty in just about every way. This carried on for a while, we even started texting and it was OBVIOUS we both liked each other. I noticed Valentines day was coming up so of course I asked her to hang out that night. I met her after she clocked out (we only work two days a week together) and greeted her with a flower and asked her to be my Valentine, sure enough she said yes! I was feeling like a king after that, I was so happy, the date we went on was a movie at the local theatre and we had an amazing night poking fun at the bad acting and just goofing off in general. After the movie we headed back to my car and by the time we got there I noticed the big grin on her face, I smiled back asking, "I had a great time tonight, did you have fun?" she just smiled back leaning in a bit closer and saying "yeah" so I leaned in a bit more and before I knew it we kissed. This was the peak of my night, I thought things were going absolutely perfect, almost too perfect. We texted the next day and planned for another date, and sure enough we were together again on another adventure, this time though.. I noticed she wasn't as talkative. I noticed but I didn't think too much of it until I ended up back at her apartment watching a movie with her and her roommate. She was barely talking except for with her roommate (Another girl of course), I would strike up conversation and it would carry but then quickly fade. I was starting to feel awkward just being there so when I got the chance I just casually looked and the clock stated that I needed to be on my way. Well.. now I was feeling a bit weird about things, I didn't know what was going on, things had gone so great on our first date before hand and now I was feeling like working with her would just be awkward. I ended up texting her asking how things were going and she just responded on how her studies were stressing her out like crazy, so in turn I told her that her studies were more important and to just focus on that for awhile. She thanked me and then days pasted with no other word from her. I eventually sent her a text just saying how I hoped her studies were going well and that she was on my mind, and her response was more details about a math exam coming up. I took the hints and just asked her if she would like to just be friends, she then responded with like FIVE PAGES of text explaining how I was such a great guy, and how she did like me, but that she had never been in a "more than friends" relationship before and that she was just more comfortable being by herself and doing her own thing. After accepting the fact that I was going to be bummed out for a few days I told her that I respected her choice but that we should still be friends and not let this make us awkward at work. Of course I knew it would be.. and sure enough, next day I worked with her we were both kind of silent around each other. The time after that we were a bit more talkative but not like it was, and now the most current time we have worked together she was more silent but she was purposely flirting with other guys around me, like she would only flirt with them if I was near enough to hear them giggle or play fight with each other :/ I don't understand this girl... we had a fantastic first date, we kissed (only because she was giving me signals to go for it), but then everything fell apart after that, and now she wants to make me jealous? I thought she wanted her alone time but I really don't get what she wants from me now. Anyone want to shed some light on what the hell is going on?
