Search Results: acting different around friends

ME and her are co-workers. and I know her for 6 months. I am sure she is single and we did hung out alone and she was very happy about it. we flirted well, she invited me to her house and gave intro to her parents and I gradually developed feelings for her and one day when we were speaking I said I like her and her family too. she firstly took it lightly and again I stressed and she understood I was serious. She said "I am two years older than you". She kindly said no & she said "I like you and you are so nice to me and all". then we were like normal. suddenly from next week on, I am being avoided by her like I am a plague. I try to spk as if her avoidance don't affect me and I say hi and bye or greet her when I see her in food court. She is nice girl I don't want to loose her. but I don't want to chase and make her uncomfortable. As I want her to accept me in her own terms. she is a nice woman and I did not even try to pressurize by asking why she is acting rude or different lately. after 6 weeks passed on my b'day i presenter her Ferrero rochar choc and she accepted reluctantly and after that incident she strtd to flrt tease me and makes fun of me then starts smiling and laughing afterward... is this something girls do when they like a guy? this girl is 2 years elder to me. But we still flirt and joke a lot. I feel this new found openness makes conversation easy? Why this girl is so self conscious around me and avoids my eye contact when we are in cafeteria and when i catch her eye she looks more than 2-5 seconds before we break it. She knows i like her. She rejected me earlier. Now Two mths passed. When she knows i am around she is so conscious in her appearance and way she talks. But around her friends she is her normal confident flirty type. She does this only to me. Other guy frnz she is outgng as hell.. i am not jealous. I like her for the way she is and who she is... She is not awkwrd. Tht stage is over, tdy she started to call my phone like old times.
