Wow, Mirth. You just don't get it, do you?
Women are kind of like humans. You know, people. They have motivations for everything they do. Whether or not they make sense *TO YOU* at the time is immaterial. Those decisions generally make sense to the decision-maker. There's not much more to understand.
Don't place all women (or all women you find attractive) on a pedistal. It's the worst thing a guy like you can do. The reason so many of us are reacting this way towards your posts is that you're missing something very basic - that, at a very fundamental level, women are exactly like men. Variations come with more complexity, but women are people who have boobs (and assorted other bits). Figure out how to deal with people and the rest sort of flows from there.
Maybe you should make it clear to this girl that you really enjoy hanging out with her and value her as a friend but that you don't see anything romantic in your mutual future. If she agrees, perhaps you have a female friend to hang with. If she doesn't agree, then you need to cut ties, because THEN you are leading her along. And that's when you'll get folks really riled up.
