Need some help with mixed signals /

This might turn out to be a long read...forgive me

2 months ago I met this girl in one of our school productions. I thought she was cute, and according to our mutual friend, she thought I was too. I took a big leap and so I asked her out to a dance 2 weeks later. She said yes, we went and had a good time. Ever since then, I've slowly began to like her more and more. Problem is, I have no idea how she sees me, seeing that she keeps giving mixed signals.

We flirt often, although it's always on and off. We've gotten close enough that we can text each other freely about anything and that she trusts me enough to tell me her problems/past relationships. I walked her to class a couple of times too. The thing is, however, the last couple of days have been extremely confusing for me.

Day 1: We had a rehearsal where we did nothing. We slept next to each other on one of the seats, shared a blanket, and cuddled...sorta. She put a (silly) picture of me as her phone's wallpaper and told me to do the same. It's still there. It was cold outside and we held hands when walking to our cars. We also arranged a "date" for saturday.

Day 2: She texts me about how bad she felt and I try to comfort her. We again do nothing at rehearsal and cuddle again. She talks to a friend and at one point calls me "her man." This is the confusing part begins. For the rest of the day we didn't really talk, even when we went to eat dinner together with a group of friends.

Day 3: I walk her to class, but we barely talked. Barely talked for the rest of the day as well. I had to initiate every conversation but she didn't respond much to me.

Day 4: Same as Day 3. I managed to talk to her a little more but still not as flirty as we were the first day.

Day 5: During rehearsal she sat with some friends. I went over to join and hang out with them. She's just talking to them and I just sat minding my own business. Out of nowhere she hugs me/leans on me from behind. I respond positively, but right after things just returned back to normal. I ask her about our "date" and then she says that we couldn't go anymore. Instead she was going to go with other friends (all girls) to the same place, and doesn't want me to feel awkward. When rehearsal ends and we leave, I said bye, but she doesn't respond.

As you can see, I'm getting a ridiculous amount of mixed signals, and I have no idea how to respond to them. I've never been in a relationship before so I don't have much experience. I'm pretty sure I haven't done anything wrong either. Anyone have any idea what's going on or can give me any advice?

Also, she's on her "monthly cycle"....although I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to last all 5 days.

What? "That time of the month" can take 3-10 days, depending on a woman and if she takes birth control pills.

Honestly, personally I wouldn't bother with her... it seems like she's playing with you or not serious, it's REALLY ignorant and cold-hearted to hug you but on the other hand to ignore you.
Also, you had a date settled a while ago - and she suddenly decides not to go, instead go with girls and she DOES NOT tell you about it herself? Do you find it okay? Seriously... Think about all that...

Easiest would be to just confront her... don't just drown her in a kinda "Do you see me as friend or more? Why do you do this?" bla bla.
Ask her why she didn't even tell you that she's not going on the "date", why she sometimes ignores you and sometimes hugs you.

Girls are complicated, sure. But don't let her play around with it.
IF you EVER get into a relationship with you you gotta remember, a good relationship needs the following: Communication paired with blunt honesty.
If there are the slightest secrets between you two and if you can't communicate your feelings, thoughts, desires, wishes and so on it's pretty much useless.
How are you supposed to know what she wants from you when she doesn't tell you? Expecting you to read her mind is stupid.
Girls love it, yes, and I have to admit I'd appreciate it if I could just give my Fiance a short look and he'd know what to do (then again he does most of the time.. damnit, I got predictable?), but that simply doesn't work.

I hope I could help ya at least a lil. When it's about one's feelings you have to be strict and analyze things strictly, too. It's about your heart here and to make sure you won't end up devastated you should work on avoiding it (-> getting over her, not liking her anymore) or find a way to prevent it (be blunt and honest and talk things out. Confront her!)

It's a trap. Friendzoned and using you as attention.

OT: I actually have no idea. I think she's crazy.
