Why is she playing games?

Question

I've been close friends with a girl @ work for a year. We get together a few times a month for dinner or drinks or whatever. A few months ago, I aksed her out on a date. Niether of us were seeing anyone but she said "no". I accepted this, started seeing other people, she and I are still friends, and still hang out.

Recently, she started sending some mixed signals. She hides her relationships from me, is uncomfortable hearing about me dating, doesn't like the fact that I go out with another girl from work from time to time. When we hang out, I sometimes ask her to invite other work friends-she says they said "no" but I later find out she never asked them.

I feel like she has hidden feelings for me, why else would we be such good friends but these things happen?? But I asked her out once, so why then did she say "no"?? If her feelings changed, I think she should say something clearer. I feel as tho I got rejected once, moved on, so why do I want to start the cycle again??

Us women are quite confusing at times. It sounds like she does like you. Sometimes we like to "trick" you into pursuing us by sending out mixed signals. Sounds like she wants YOU to pursue her again. Give it a shot.
