About a year and a half ago i met a girl and we became really close friends. At first we were just friends but then after 4 months or so it turned in to us dating. We dated for a while and things were good for a couple months but then things started going downhill. It never got terrible but we could both see that it wasnt really working out and last june we decided to break up and still be friends. Over the summer we stayed in contact (mostly initiated by her) and things seemed just as friendly as before we dated.

So this fall comes around, and school started back up. I was looking forward to seeing her because I we hadnt seen each other since june when we had broken up. I invited her to a party that I was throwing. She told me that she'd try to stop by if she could, but her friends were doin other stuff so she wasnt sure. In the end she did come by, with a group of her friends. I didnt see her right when she got there but about 5 minutes or so after she got there I saw her and went to go say hi. As I was walking up to her she saw me and said sorry but she had to leave. So I was kinda wierded out by the fact that she came for like 5 minutes and left as soon as she saw me, but I just took her word for it that the people that she had come with were leaving so she had to go too.

So I didnt really know how to react to this but the next weekend I asked if she wanted to hang out some time. She said she was busy but shed let me know if she had time. So by now Im starting to feel like she was just trying to avoid me. Over the next month I texted her a couple more times and both times she had something going on and would let me know if she could. By now i was pretty certain that she wanted to avoid me so I just stopped trying. About a month and a half later (maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago) she texts me out of the blue accusing me of spreading rumors and saying bad stuff about her (all of which were completely UNtrue). I told her that I didnt know what she was talking about and if anything was being said it was absolutly not comming from me. So we talk a little more and she seems like she believed me and we were friendly again. I asked her why she was avoiding me so much earlier on in the semester and she said that she was afraid that I wanted to get back with her and she didnt want to hurt me. I said that I had no intention to and that I just missed hanging out with her as friends. So she said oh if thats the case we should definantly hang out. A couple days after that we ran into each other at a bar. We were friendly but we didnt talk much because it seemed pretty awkward (her being surrounded by 4 guys and me by 3 girls didnt really help the situation haha). Since then we ve texted a couple times but it just seems like things are kinda wierd between us now.

So does anyone have any advice for how things could get smoothed over. I have not intention whatsoever of trying to get back with her but I do want to still be friends with her if its possible.
