Meeting number 4 was only a month after our last, and just happened this week. Almost a week after she had come and seen me, she had asked me to fly out east and see her friends and meet her sister. Things going pretty well right? Wrong. My first night there, I started a topic about where we were going. In the past month since we decided to date, her behavior towards me was still more like a friend then a girlfriend. We hadn't spoken on the phone as much, though we were texting. At this point, she pretty much said that she had gone crazy this past month thinking about us and whether what she was doing was right. She said her heart hadn't caught up to her mind (even though things felt right, she just didn't have any real feelings for me). That she had "tried" to have feelings, but it wasn't happening. She compared it to her previous relationships, and how that after 10 months she should feel something.
She has been honest with you about her feelings and from my point of view it looks like she is NOT developing feelings for you beyond friendship. Inviting you to meet her family could have been a way to test their reactions and find out their opinions about you. So she can add that to her own impression of you and make up her mind.
You have been seeing each other 4 times. I'm not sure but from your story I get the impression that you have been asking her to get serious with you every time. You may have put a lot of pressure on her by doing so. It takes a long time for us to make up our mind about something as serious as a relationship. We have to do that by ourselves and pressure will only make her distance herself.
Also I would worry about her saying that she "tried" to have feelings but it wasn't happening. To me that sounds she is not developing romantic feelings for you and that she feels forced in a way too. You have to ask yourself if you want to continue giving time and attention to someone who is likely not going to give you back what you need, simply because she doesn't see you as more than a friend.click to expand

I come from south asian descent (think arranged marriages) and met a girl online 10 months ago on a dating site. We started texting/talking on the phone for a couple of months before we decided things were going well and that we should meet. I flew out to the east coast to meet her for the weekend, and things went well. I can't say that there were any "sparks" that flew, but we pretty much hung out and seemed to enjoy our time together. At the end of the weekend I asked her how it went, and if she wanted to keep talking and see where this goes. She agreed, and thought it was worth pursuing.
Unfortunately due to circumstances, we didn't meet each other for another 4 months (visit 2) but we did talk pretty much everyday and stay in contact. In April she came to see me for the weekend, and again things seemed to go pretty well. We got along, and had a lot in common and seemed like we could be great friends. After the weekend, we decided things were going well between us that we could be headed in the right direction. We decided to let our folks know what was going on, and everything was good. After she left, she asked me why I hadn't tried to kiss her or if I wanted to? I did say yes, but just felt I was given the green light by her, so didn't want to push it. Again, we kept telling each other how things "feel right" with each other and this is the closest each of us has gotten to something so serious. I asked her if she considers herself single still, and she answered it's complicated due to our long distance circumstances but that we're heading in the right direction. All seemed good.
Meeting number 3 occurred 2 months later, she visited me again. This time, our parents were in the loop and she was down to meet mine along with my close friends. The weekend went well. We just got along so well. We did end up kissing a couple of times, and it seemed ok. So I asked her again, do you consider yourself single still? It took her a good half an hour, but she finally agreed we were ready to be in a relationship. She left, thanking me for a good time.
I guess at this point, she started to get some parental pressure from her folks about getting more serious with me (culture you know?). I'm not privy to the details, or what their argument entailed, but she told her parents that we just weren't there yet and that we wanted to keep seeing each other to see where this would go. I was on board, we had only met 3x and though everything went well, we were just starting to get really comfortable with each other.
Meeting number 4 was only a month after our last, and just happened this week. Almost a week after she had come and seen me, she had asked me to fly out east and see her friends and meet her sister. Things going pretty well right? Wrong. My first night there, I started a topic about where we were going. In the past month since we decided to date, her behavior towards me was still more like a friend then a girlfriend. We hadn't spoken on the phone as much, though we were texting. At this point, she pretty much said that she had gone crazy this past month thinking about us and whether what she was doing was right. She said her heart hadn't caught up to her mind (even though things felt right, she just didn't have any real feelings for me). That she had "tried" to have feelings, but it wasn't happening. She compared it to her previous relationships, and how that after 10 months she should feel something.
While I didn't try to argue with her, I did mention that she had built up a lot of walls for me to get thru. She was largely unemotional and that it was hard to commit to this if we weren't ourselves. We got along great, and everything seemed to mesh, there had never been concerns about where this was going before. She even asked me to come and meet her friends, so why the change of heart? I've known aquarian girls who have had trouble committing to something due to some sort of fear being tied down? I wasn't sure what this was, and how to handle it. She asked me to meet her the next day, since we had agreed to hangout during the weekend, and now there would be no pressure. I refused, considering she had just done a 180 on me, and still wanted to meet? She texted me to have a safe flight a week ago, and we haven't spoken since.
At this point, I'm still unsure of what happened. Did commitment scare her off? We had a difficult road due to long distance that wasn't helping, but we had agreed to commit to meeting as often as possible after meeting 3 and trying to see if this would lead to anything. We haven't spoken since, and I'm not sure if I should ever really pursue it again?
