Girl interested, now ignoring me?

Hi guys, I'm in a bit of a strange situation. It's not really that important but it's bothering me - why?

So we got on really well before the start of the Christmas holidays, we got each other quite flirtatious cards, spoke a fair bit, texted. I didn't really speak to her much until she got me a card (I started talking to her more after this) and I've been in her class for a few years. We used to go out, but that was back when I was but a naive, boy, who didn't understand relationships (good few years ago). It wasn't even a relationship.

I made jokes about how all this Christmas I would be antisocial as I'd be revising and lonely at home, and we agreed to Skype. Then the Christmas holidays began. I decided to speak to her on FB, text her a bit more - but now she seems to be ignoring me, her texts before that suddenly became short answers as opposed to her usual longer ones... I've genuinely no idea why. She's quite a good friend, and I kinda want to stay that way, perhaps even have a relationship again (but this time meaningful). She did say I'm a lovely guy and a good friend, but now she's ignoring me which I don't get at all! It's like she dislikes me now, and isn't even interested in knowing me anymore.

So I've been thinking about it - should I ask her in person why she's been ignoring me? Maybe she feels I'm using her to get with her or get sex?!? IDK

Any help will be appreciated.

but....but...but you are a woman?

Hey, sisters can get friend-zoned too.

What man would be that heartless?!?!

Some men are just cruel.

if it helps, I'LL NEVER put friendship before the chance for sex... Because I care!

That's what I like to hear! Who needs sincerity and feelings, I mean come on.

Just give her some time. She is figuring you out apparantly. If she complains later that you ignored her, tell her how you dont think you need to keep asking for her attention when she doesnt feel up to it. You know that will show you will give her space in future too. Going for any adverse steps might just irritate her and you'd lose her. It will be best if she feels friend zoned, trust me that will piss her off if she likes you the other way. If not, well atleast you guys can be friends!
cheers!

Ask her why she's ignoring you. If she answers something like "because you're an *******" then move on and find another woman. If she answers something like "because I dont think you love me", explain to her that you do love her and you would do anything for her. That would make her feel like you care about her and then she would probably stop ignoring you and love you back too.
