an aquarius giving silent treatment but checking up on me?

do aquarius contradict themselves emotionally? I know an aquarius values friendship above all else, and tend be detached from emotions, but I sensed an interest from her and told her about my feelings. Surprisingly, she said she felt the same but it caught her by surprise and took it positively. After that, we spend a lot of time having convos online, since we both work from home now.

Fast forward to two weeks ago, I heard from a friend I made her moody because I was being insensitive. She never brought it up, but I noticed that we're having less and lees convos. When I messaged her about it - she stopped responding. I was worried she wasn't her usual self, but I'm convinced (after hearing from her friend) that she's just retreating.

I know an aquarius needs space, and I'm happy to give her time. But, she's not ignoring me at all. She'll instantly read my messages if I send one - but never responds, liking my social media when I post, and view my instagram stories whenever I put it up.

does an aquarius usually look for signs to start communicating again, or that's never going to happen and just going to lurk in the background? To say I'm not on her mind is an understatement, but she's just not reaching out - and after I found out about my insensitivity, I did called her; but she just laugh it off as if it's not a big deal.

I would think so as well, but the silence is killing me. I'm a Virgo with Aquarius moon, it's unusual for me to chase someone like this, but I'm too curious to find clarity of what's going on here. And it doesn't help we're going to bump into each other soon because of work, I am happy and scared about the awkwardness that'll ensue. I feel like she'll get hurt if I move on without batting an eye, having a Taurus moon - I'm sure she's v sensitive as well.

Hmm. I would state your feelings clearly as you are adept at doing but do give her plenty of space. Even let her come to you. Aquarians have their own unique time schedules that can never be put under pressure. It's ok to state your feelings however. They are not intolerant beings.

Thanks everyone for donating your two cents on this!

The issue of sensitivity is just about agreeing and disagreeing of ideas, and I know an Aqua's trait is being genius on thinking outside the box. But people favoured mine over hers, and in a way, it seems like I was crossing her off.

Her friend reached out to me because she was getting the same treatment, and deducting why this is so, it's probably because of the idea thing (me, pretty much...) - and she knows that I'm close with the Aqua, so she was curious about her behaviour.

Update from yesterday: She broke the silence by sending a "hey?". I was unfortunately in a meeting when that happened, and when I replied an hour later, she read the message but again, not responding.

I don't think I'll be going away from her radar anytime soon, but I think I'll take @Aquarelle's view on this; she might be assessing me and if it did bothered her too much, she'll need time to think. So, the answer to me then is, she might have made up her mind already and checking up on me is just her curiosity.

@Aqua-Marine is right, she's probably a lil bit stubborn. Patience is one thing, if I'm taking that she made up her mind - it's time for me to move on. We have a group meeting soon (a very small one!) and I think I'll just dive in with no expectation of us addressing it. She might talk about it then... or maybe she won't?! always gotta factor in that Aqua's unpredicatability.
