<human>: Already got some feedback from /r/relationships, but I figured that I could get some more advice here:

So I had been seeing this girl for about three weeks after knowing her for a year, and having her initiate things first by telling me that she liked me. Things went amazingly well, at least from my perspective. Talked a lot, hung out, all that jazz.

But a few days ago, after spending an afternoon with her shopping and at her place, she told me that she no longer was looking to be in a relationship. She wanted to focus on her academics (thinks relationships would take too much time), and she had recently come out of a 1.5 year relationship (which I knew about) and wanted some time to find herself. However, I asked her if she still liked me more than a friend, she said that she did.

I figure that it was a valid reason, and that we could stay as friends. Either I would be her friend until she was ready to commit to a relationship, or until someone else came along. But, it feels as if she's almost become cold towards me. Where we used to text and talk constantly, she now only replies after a few hours, and they always seem to be superficial.

My question is, after telling her that we can still be friends, why does she seem to act as if we aren't? I know the 'she doesn't want a relationship, with you' line, but I'm not even concerned with that so much as our friendship seems to have been on the decline.

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: Friend and I dated, tells me that she doesn't want a relationship due to school and past relationship; agree to be friends but she's not communicating like we used to before we dated.
