Ok so I'm a sag male who hit it off really well with a cap woman at work for almost 2 weeks now. Things were going great until a few days ago out of nowhere she started giving the cold shoulder. All though I know she's going through some stuff as she told me, I still offered to be there and comfort as her friend, she was just cold and didn't want to be bothered. Asked her yesterday if she'd like to do something sometime and she said no, not intrested, continued cold shoulder. We're now on Xmas break all next week so I won't be seeing her, but she won't leave my mind. I did ask her if we could still be friends and she said yes, but she still didn't wanna talk to me I could tell. I'm going to respect whatever I get from her, I just don't know if I should continue to approach her or leave her be and let her work out her issue. She's too amazing for me to just give up on all together

Still be friends? You’ve only been talking for two weeks and not because you wanted to be friends. You’re being disingenuous. And willingly signing yourself up for the friendzone isn’t the brightest idea. If she actually tries to take you up on said friendship, by being *just* friends, you’ll only be back here complaining how you wanted more.
If she wants space, I say give it to her. You almost definitely don’t know each other well enough for her to consider you as inner circle. If she’s wounded, inner circle would be the only ones she’d probably rely on for help. We like to get ourselves out of scrapes and sometimes it’s not pretty. It’s possible she likes you, but doesn’t wanna tarnish your new potential with something that’s not pretty.
My advice is to give her space, but still be receptive. As in, don’t completely close yourself off and she might see you respecting her wishes and become responsive. Or she might just be trying to let you down easy. Who knows. We’re not there. Good luck and happy holidays.

Yeah, it's just weird because the last day we were having good communication she opened up to me about her problem she's having after getting a bad phone call about it, which made me feel like she was starting to trust me in her inner circle, but the very next day is when the cold shoulder started. And it's only towards me, she talks to other people at work but when I approach she will turn away and when I do see her face after saying something to her I can see pain. I know I've only known her for 2 weeks and it always takes me a long time to develop anything for someone but this quickly I really care about her

A Cap woman gives the cold shoulder knowingly when they feel disrespected or ignored. And unknowingly when they have other family or work issues. Did anything happen that might have made her feel this way? I say just take two steps back and wait and give her some space.. you asked her.. now it's up to her. If she told you about her problem she does trust you :-)
