Relationships

Is making her jealous the correct next move?

For a year been working with this girl and we became very close friends and even began been sexting and making out. Neither of us were looking for a relationship bit agreed we should see where things go. All her friends know about me, even her parents do. Yet everytime the relationship develops she goes cold and pushes me away. Her last relationship didn't end well at all and her friends tell me that she's probably afraid to open up yo another guy again and risk our relationship ending, so she pushes me away before I do it to her. One day we went on a date and it was a 10/10, I've never seen her laugh as much in my life, she was telling me about her family and what they'd think of me etc, she's normally cold and unemotional and so nobody believes me when I tell them just how goofy and cute she was on this date, however the day after she became very cold and distant for a month. I eventually had enough and text her, she's been very busy and stressed ag work (this is true, I've seen her cry at work and have a breakdown, it's a very difficult place to work atm) and that she's avoided me because she's not a good vibe for me to be around but she still wants to hang out and so we agreed to go for a walk. She started the walk letting loose all her pent up emotion and anger on me and while she was telling me she didn't want a relationship, it sounded more like she was trying to convince herself she didn't rather than genuinely not wanting one yet, we ended up holding hands, kissing and planning a date. However the following day at work she was back to acting like I don't exist. Some of her friends and my friends have told me that I'm a high status male and I chose her, not was desperate for her, so they began making subtle comments around her about x liking me and y wanting my number. Apparently she'd try hide any reaction but they all reported the same. A sigh and and sadness. Do I keep making her jealous in the hopes she'll be forced into making a decision?
