My crush friendzoned me. However when other guys hit on her, why does she suddenly start flirting with me in-front of them?

My long time crush friendzoned me, we are still good friends. However I have noticed her inconsistent behavior of suddenly flirting with me at times and other times just acting cold.
I finally realized that she flirted with me openly when other guys are hitting on her (she is a pretty girl and gets hit on by guys often) and when I flirt back I would usually get a cold response from her.
After friendzoning me this is not a cool thing to do. It hurts my feelings. Why does she do this?

She's either trying to pretend that you're her boyfriend to these guys, or she's trying to make them jealous and is playing the game with them. Either that or she's fucking with you.

You need to tell her to cut it out or ditch her either way. Don't be a pussy about it and just say nothing. The reason you got friend-zoned most likely is because you waited way too long to show any interest in her, too afraid of a bad reaction.

Because she's trying to tell all the world's men that she is hella not available for any kind of romantic involvement.

First of all friendzoned does'nt only means she don't loves or she doesn't want relationship it can be she wants more time but she shouldn't hurt your feelings as a girl I know why girls friendzones boys to avoid relationship too early or It's a can be your misunderstanding or maybe you are just over reaction because you love her

more than likely she likes you and wants a reaction from you. because if she didn't she wouldn't do in your face and as girl that's why id do it. so maybe try flirting in front of her if she gets mad she likes you because jealousy kicked in. and then talk to her

Maybe she thinks you take her flirting as an open invitation to take it more than what it is: being friendly

Maybe she uses it as a way for them to leave her alone
