I've always had great luck with girls but since getting out of a really long term relationship I'm a bit rusty. I have study material from mystery, and matador. So I know a lot of the terminology and how it applies.

So here is my situation. There is a girl from my work, I know its not the best scenario but I'm her boss, I'm also 7yrs older than her. The last few days at work I've noticed we have been extremely flirty which each other, I have gotten several IOI's from her. This past week end while she was on vacation we texted back and fourth for 2 days, when she got home I asked for her screen name to be settle for AIM. We then talked for 3 hours straight, and it was a great conversation, because of all her IOI's I started to come on stronger just with settle complements "I'm not sure why I find you so interesting, ect..." I suggested we hang out, she said sure. She even stayed on to talking to me having to wake up in a few hours, and sign right off when I said I had to go (which I didn't but felt it would look better if I ended the convo) my last remark was that I really like talking to her she agreed her too.

SOO long story short, 3 days later (which I haven't heard form her since) we worked again together it felt awkward, she seemed extremely quiet around me compared to normal. I tried to talk to her her and there but she didn't say much and looked nervous some times. Eventually It just started pissing me off since it almost seemed like she was avoiding talking to me, so I just went back to the NEG's but they were very direct. I acted like I had no interest in her, I'm not sure if that was a mistaking but being the nice guy I could tell doesn't work.

My question is from those experienced, what is really going on here potentially? Is there is a sign she is scared off, I know shes shy so maybe she likes me but just is extra nervous after such a strong conversation? Its been a really upsetting day for me, I was really excited about this girl.
