Why would a shy girl reject you if she liked you, act distant and then try and get your attention?

Shy girls why would some of you do this? I am not angry about it, I just don't understand why you'd do it because it messes with a guys head.

Probably because she panicked in the moment.
I work at a gas station and I had a line of about 7 customers waiting and I was serving the most beautiful blonde woman last week , she asked me if my phone number will be on the back of the receipt, I panicked and asked her again what she said as if i miss heard her but really I was trying to get more time to think of a response, in the end I said I want to be single because I just come out a bad relationship.
(I am single but I'm ready to date again!)
She left looking embarrassed getting rejected in front of a shop full of people!
I went straight into the back of the store kicking myself for not giving her my number !:((
Also every customer was looking at me like "omg this guy is a complete stud he turned down the most beautiful lady!"
God I will regret that for the rest of my life, if she came in again I will tell her straight that I regretted it as she was to beautiful and caught me off guard, maybe this is a similar issue to yours :)

did you tell her directly and clearly that you like her? otherwise, she could be unsure if you like her or not as shy people usu have lower self esteem. being unsure about whether you like her or not makes her hold back her feelings for you as she may be afraid of getting hurt by rejection. like when you finally find out her true feelings for you and you decide that you don't like her anymore, she will crash.

I asked her out in person.

she probably likes you and then just got too shy when you talked to her. she probably doesn't mean to act distant. And then you in response to her being distant probably pulled away a bit too right? but she doesn't want this so is trying to get back your attention. It's not that she didn't want your attention in the first place, it's just harder for shy people to handle the attention.

She's shy, so I understand that and I am not annoyed or upset by her behaviour, I think it's cute and funny, but i've gotta be honest, it's messed with my head a bit.

I think sometimes when I like a guy, but I'm too shy, I kinda show that I like him even though i dont wanna. As a shy person, one of the reasons I may reject is because I've never been on a date and the idea of a first date makes me scared
