Search Results: get over rejection

Ever since I told my friend I liked someone else she's been really weird - less teasy, talks to me less, but still pretty touchy. Then I finally got over my old crush, I eventually began to like her. She found out and she was flabbergasted, but she didn't say no. In fact, when she confronted me, she couldn't stop smiling - and she became a lot touchier too (conveniently brushing against my arm, playfully poking me against my stomach and nose). But the thing is, she ignores me sometimes for no reason and just gives me these sad stares. My friends tell me that means she wants me to start a conversation with her because she's still hurt from the rejection.. is that true?

Basically, I rejected my friend two times last month. One was over text when I asked her for advice on another girl (I had no idea she liked me) and the other was when she overheard I was trying to get back in contact with my old crush. Because of it, she ignored me; and whenever she spoke, she looked like she was going to cry and she asked me how I was doing in this shy voice. I eventually figured out she probably liked me, and suddenly I found myself becoming more attracted to her. I didn't really want to tell her, 'cause I figured she would think I was doing a joke or a dare on her. But instead, without my permission, my friends do it.

When she confronted me about it, I just told her I was confused about how I felt about her; which I believe someone said it counted as another rejection to her. But surely enough, she ignored me again. But I eventually gained the courage to talk to her; and when I confronted her her eyes began to get watery and it looked like she was going to smile. So we talked about it; we both admitted we liked each other, and we both agreed to be friends and we'd let the winds take us wherever. But I get to class expecting things to be different, and to my surprise, they weren't She ignores me again, but the only thing that changed is she tries to subtly take glances at me with a sad look.

Is she still sad over the fact I rejected her over a month ago? And why is she back to ignoring me?
