Why was she so nervous and "cold" in the first phone call?

Hi folks! There's a girl who was of my classroom this year and I really like her but I never had enough courage to talk to her (We've already talked but not too much)... So, I got her phone number through her friend, but do you know what? I called her for the first time today and she was so "cold" to me! She was polite, of couse, but she seemed nervous!

What do you think this means?

Thnx! :D

Update:

Don't misunderstand folks, I've already talked to her in school and she knows who I am! Moreover, I told her in the start of the conversation that her friend gave me her phone number! :)

    Wow, I'm surprised at some of the answers on here. I presume you didn't just call her out of the blue and she already knows that you're interested in her?

    She could just be shy, or she was in the middle of something and was being polite or (as a possibility) is half seeing someone else and was again being polite. It's hard to say. Women are like that. ;)

    Or she's playing a game where she wants you to pursue her and is playing "hard to get". This could be innocent enough or possibly manipulative, I'll leave it to you to decide. Overall, be cool and relaxed, whatever happens.

    You've very bravely made the first move (I'm impressed!) but I'd leave things with her - the ball is in her court, so to speak. Let her make the next call, or if you see her in person then say hi and ask how she's doing, that'll affirm you're interested in her. If she doesn't respond well to that or doesn't call you, it's her loss, so move on. Good luck!

    Um because some guy she doesn't even really know called her out of no where and how did this guy even get my number? She was more than likely creeped out.

    After reading your additional details, the best thing for you to do now, I'd think, would be to talk to her next time you see her. If you've barely talked to her before, then call her, then too scared to talk to her next time you see her, she'll think you have low self esteem and self confidence. Girls do not like that. So make sure you strike up a conversation with her next time you see her.

    imagine a guy u didnt really know getting someones number from a friend then calling u? U would be both uncomfortable/nervous and cold. You skipped alot of steps. You shouldve talked to her first. Now u seem like a creeper.

    practice use a toy telephone or different disconnected telephone. learn how to communicate like an operator. applying the main appropriate language you could. examine the script get attentive to it. in spite of the undeniable fact that something could desire to be suggested. Congrats you get carry of the interest! the business enterprise you artwork for could desire to believe in you and are waiting to coach you. do no longer forget approximately to respire together as speaking feeling your person very own %.. it relatively is demanding on the beginning up it does ensue. believe me i be attentive to i'm a telesales lady from some time past lol!

    Hi,

    I think she's not really interested in you (sorry), and she felt that you calling her was super-awkward, because she never actually gave you her number. Like MushroomKing said, you should have talked to her in person first.

    she's probably just shy.
