Is she avoiding me or am I insecure?

There is this girl I know online. I've known her for roughly seven months. I didn't talk to her much when I first met her, but after a couple months I started to talk to her more and more.

Since I've started talking to her more though. I've noticed something. Sometimes she is really hard to get a hold of. I only know her online, but I have various ways of contacting her.

Sometimes when I try to talk to her on skype, she won't answer. She only replies to a few of my text messages and often when I am talking to her. She will stop talking for no reason.

I was starting to think she was trying to avoid me, but when I asked her about it. She said "I love you too much to avoid you", and not only that. Whenever I ask her why she wasn't answering me at some point. She always has a reason. Like it was her brother using her computer or something along those lines.

I want to believe her, but there are times where I am almost 100% certain she is there. She still won't answer though. I've given her chances to come clean and admit it, but she always denies it. No matter how unlikely her excuse is.

She has no reason to go through this much effort to avoid me, but still pretend to be my friend. She doesn't have anything to gain by pretending to be my friend, but some of this is just too weird and I am very confused.

Update:

I am in Canada, she is in the USA.

    I think she's afraid of getting too attached to you and she doesn't wanna commit to this friendship. She can't make up her mind about having you as a friend.

    If she's still as active online as before...another likely reason could be she has probably found somebody else she enjoys talking to. Someone who she reckons is better than you. Maybe she's gotten bored of you as she's spoken to you many times and there's nothing much to find out abt you anymore. Personally I do that a lot - being more chatty with strangers and reticent towards acquaintances who I know from the Internet.

    Is your Internet friend living in the same country as you?
