Help I need a female's advice?

O.K. say you and me are good friends, and well we talk and we start feeling an attraction for one another. However, I tell you how I honestly feel. I tell you that I love you. You feel awkward, so instead of telling me some hard to swallow truth, you just avoid me all the time. Ladies, Does she have feelings for me too, or does it hurt her so much to tell me that she doesn't feel the same way for me like I did for her? She won't even talk to me at all. Not even like friends that we were prior to me telling her I love her. I told her to think about it. I'm not sorry for telling her I love her, I told her that too. I'm a man about mines. A real man. Straight up. She needs to accept that fact and deal with it accordingly no matter how awkward it may seem to her. I told her I wasn't trying to scare her off, but I had to let her know how I felt. I even told her if she says no, I still love her. She avoids me. If she really didn't care about me, she would told me easily..No, right? Mad atme?Help I need a female's advice?
It could be several things. the one that normally tops the list is being uncomfortable. She may be nervous and trying to find her ground. She may has low self-esteem in that area of her life. She may even have wished for this to happened but gave up hope it would. My suggestion is to wait at least a week and then try to talk to her again. If she avoids you corner her and ask for the truth before letting her leave(unless there is an emergency of course). She might just need time to weigh how she feels. Good luck to you and I hope it all works out.
