<human>: A few years back, I met this girl, through a mutual friend at a party. She's complicated, and cute and stubborn and we have so much of the same outlook on life.

We're both outgoing enough but I think when it comes to relationships theres a mutual anxiety around intamacy and dating thats difficult to overcome. It's made things kind of difficult and somewhat awkward at times.

Initially we went on two dates which went fantastic, but for some reason it wasn't enough to keep us dating. I would resolve to just let her go but ever since we stopped seeing eachother 2 years ago theres been this wierd back and forth between us. I try chasing her, and she won't let me get close to her, I back off and when ever I see her she gives me these pathetic looks like "why did you stop?"

Lately, Ive been seeing her pretty regularly at school, but I've kind of been ignoring her (which is bad, I know) out of frustration. She continues to shoot me those "pathetic looks." 

I think most people reading this would say the best thing to do is to talk to her. Problem is I've tried talking to her in the past. Despite my own anxiety, I've gone into great detail about how I feel about this but she doesn't share her thoughts. Back when we were dating she confronted me about taking to long to text her back but after very little discussion she just said "nevermind, I was just f*cking with you" and I never got to understand why it bothered her. This is a pretty consistant pattern with her and I am so close to just giving up because I feel like trying to talk to her would just be doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.

Anyway if someone has any suggestions on how to gradually indroduce a MUTUAL conversation about what the hell is going on it'd be really appreciated. I don't want to give up on this girl, she's really special and we've had some really wonderful moments together.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: I (M25) am trying to figure out how to get this girl (F23) to share whats going on in her head.
