The mistakes you made at the "strategic" level
Confessing too soon
This is the biggest mistake you made.Are you new to the Game?You should have built up a firm foundation of friendship first before even thinking of confessing your feelings to her.The crux of any relationship is friendship.You need to be very close friends first before anything else could happen.Sure,there are couples who get attached within one or two months or even a few days of getting acquainted,but personally,I think such relationships are built on a weak foundation as the friendship element is not there yet.It is not possible for the two of them to understand each other very well within such a short duration.I feel that such relationships happen because of physical attraction.As time goes by,one of them even both might feel that maybe the other half is not what he/she initially makes him/her out to be and thus the relationship encounters some problems with its attendant heartbreaks,tears shed etc etc...So next time,if you feel that you are attracted to another gal again,keep it cool.Do not reveal your feelings yet.The thing is if you confess too soon and it is not mutual,it is going to be very difficult even to be platonice friends because of the awkwardness.I think that is the reason why she gives you the cold shoulder nowadays.Play it cool,keep quiet,establish a close friendship with her,in the meantime,you can gauge whether she might be an ideal partner.You can also find out whether there is a chance that she might want to be more than close friends with you by the hints gals like to drop from time to time.Critics of this assertion of mine will argue that you will feel worse after being friends with her for a number of years and being rejected after "waiting" for a number of years.My counter argument would be:during this period of time,keep your expectations low and always keep your options open.Have this mentality of "hoping for the best while always prepared for the worst." It will stand you in good stead.Even if she rejects you eventually,you two can still be friends,you can still meet up with her as the friendship element is already there.At least that is better than what you are experiencing now,right?
Giving her too much attention
You buy gifts for her.It is quite obvious to her what are your intentions even if you do not confess.Brother,I do not know what kind of gifts you bought for her so far,but I have to say that you have wasted your money.You have heard of the saying "Nice guys finish last." That is only partially false.There is a grain of truth in that but there are also limitations.You know why? I think you adheresto the idea that we guys should always be very nice to gals,we should pamper them always.You are dead wrong.By always pampering her,you are not winning her heart,but after a while,she might start to take you for granted and treats you as a non-seasonal Santa Claus.I feel that you have come on too strongly on her by showering her with excess attention.That,I think,has turned her off.Sure,be nice to gals,but never to the extent that you become a yes-men who says yes/agrees to everything she says.Like this,you become too predictable.Gals like guys with backbone and a sense of mystery around them! So do not be too enthusiastic.Keep aloof from time to time.By the way,what have you bought for her so far?
I think my comments make a lot of sense.nevertheless,I do not,repeat,do not claim to be the final authority on such matters,in fact I am still learning as I go along-education is a lifelong process!
Dear Friend,I truly can feel your pain.I am not you,but I just want to tell you that I share your pain.I have been through such nonsense before.It is like the whole world collapsing around you.The sky is so dark.It is like having nothing to look forward to tomorrow when you wake up. Your heart is as heavy as lead now and every step you take is hard and laboured.Right? As i said,I have been through trying times before.That time,when I discovered that my crush got attached,I did not mutter a single word for two days It was that bleak.My advice to you is to take a short break.Do not contact her for say,two weeks? In this two weeks,do things you like and avoid anything that is associated with her.Best is to do strenous exercise,you will forget about her! Keep your mind occupied!
I give you a few inspirational quotes,hope they will alleviate your pain.

"Get busy living,or get busy dying
For the second time in my life,I'm guilty of committing a crime-parole violation.
Of course,I doubt they'll toss up any roadblocks up there,not for an old crook like me.
I find I'm so excited that I could barely sit still or hold a thought in my head
I think it's the excitement a only free man could feel,a free man on the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain.
I hope I can make it across the border.
I hope I can see my friend and shake his hand.
I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has ever been in my Dreams.
I hope..."
-Ellis "Red" Redding(Morgan Freeman) in The Shawshank Redemption
