There was this girl i really liked and we were very very close for abt 6 months and then suddenly she started avoiding me for no apparent reason - everytime i asked her she brushed it off with "Nothing..just too much work" and I believed her :-(

Its been 2 months since we kind of parted ways - I ran into her yesterday at lunch after more than a month and if I had hopes that she would talk to me they were all crushed - she did not even offer a "Hi" :-( Whenever I tried to talk to her she sort of avoided me but she had no problems talking to another guy who was with her at that time. (I know this guy pretty well and he knows I still like her).

I know she might have grown tired of me and all that but cant we just remain friends? I dont know what hurts me more - the fact that she likes someone else or the fact that she hates me :-(

Should I ask her why she is avoiding me? Should I ask her if we can just remain friends?
