Girl acting very sketchy- friend zoned or not?

Hey everyone been reading the forums awhile now and just now decided to post about something i have recently ran into.

I recently just went out on a date with this cute girl who is best friends with one of my best friends ( who is a girl ) and actually even lives with her. We go to the same college and i had known her awhile and had hooked up with her a few times before a couple semesters ago before she had a boyfriend. Well, now shes recently single (broke up less than a month ago) and she and my other friend kept making comments to me saying that i needed to take her on a date.

So i gave in and started texting her and hung out with her a few times at her place ( with the other girl their as well ) and ended up hooking up with her a couple times again. We would text everyday for most of the day about anything and everything, and one night even just sat on the couch for four hours straight just talking to each other, point being i really like her.

PROBLEM: I notice she acts completely different when we are alone compared to when we are around others (like our mutual friend for example) so i made a comment to her about it and she ended up texting me a bunch of stuff around the lines of"im just weird im not good at expressing my feelings. dating my last bf was such an ordeal and i need time to get over everyting" and "i promised myself next time i dated someone i would take time and not rush anything like i did with him" and she eventually said "i just think, i need time to get over that relationship and dont think im ready to date right now". So later i texted her and she told me " i really do like hanging out with you im just nervous." She wouldn't tell me why she is nervous, just that i make her nervous. Since then (3 days ago) we haven't seen each other and she doesnt text me as much and is just acting different. We are supposed to go to church together with a couple of other friends tomorrow so ill find out more then but what should i do to keep from being friend-zoned? I

fyi i tried a Freeze Out today and she hasn't contacted me at all.

Simple.......shes telling you that her last relationship was an ordeal. She clearly likes you, but you are kinda stressing her out with all these questions and sh1t.

A Freeze Out might be good...FOR YOU. You need to reframe yourself as a the fun guy she wants. I am sure you want her to show you that she likes you, but shes already mentioned how the last guy was stressful...you need to be the fun carefree guy she is looking for. Sure, show her attention, but the most important thing to do is keep things fun for her and build attraction so she wants to hang out and contact you.

Okay so your saying that when i talk/hang out with her i should just act like we are friends or what? Because she doesn't show that many ioi's so im often confused and feel like she doesn't like me, and then at the end of the night we'd end up hooking up - point being its difficult for me to judge how she feels therefore idk how to act like around her.

And i really never asked her many questions about anything, like i only asked one question about how she acts different in front of other people - and then she said all of that from that one question basically. I mean, im not looking to be in a relationship with her right now, i just want to keep dating her. Its just shes hard to read haha.

And how do i be this more fun carefree guy that she is looking for? Do i just need to change my attitude or what exactly?
