what gives with this situation?
There's a girl that goes to my school that I'm good friends with. She's been very outgoing with me, constantly joking around with me, telling me her problems and the like. I told her last week that I liked her but was perfectly fine just being friends with her, and she said she just wanted to be friends. Since then, she's almost given me the cold shoulder, hardly talking to me at all, not texting me back, etc. We both know that we just want to be friends, and I have no problem with it. I'm not really getting why she has decided to give me the cold shoulder though...

She probably doesn't know how to act around you now. Even though you said it's perfectly fine that the two of your just being friends, she's knows your feelings are there. So she may not be as candid with you as she was before. It sucks, but when you share your feelings of attraction with your friend, things change.
I would give her a little bit and see if she comes back around. If not, find some time to just sit down and talk with her alone about it. Hopefully the friendship can be preserved. Best of luck.

Us girls feel really awkward about when someone says that they like us, especially when we don't feel the same way about them back. We're afraid that if we continue to act the way around you like we would normally do (especially if it's like how she acts with you as friends), you might get the idea of, "If she wants to stay friends, then why is she still acting like this around me? This can't be her way of being friends. Maybe she likes me back." It's just how the brain works. It creates hopes for itself to get what it wants.
Don't freak when she gives you the cold shoulder. Either confront her or give her time. One is better than the other depending on what pros/cons you pile on the scale.

It might have been just unexpected and to avoid feeling awkward just like keeping her distance for a bit. Then once a bit of time has passed by, you two will be talking just like before and back to good friends.

She may be too embarrased to say anything that she would regret later on, i.e. hurting your feelings. Give her a couple weeks more.
