Ladies, please help me figure her out, does she dislike me?

Ive know this woman for years, although there has always been some awkwardness between to which I can't explain why. So, she's a little shy although mainly I think she lacks a bit of self esteem (walks around, looking down, if we're in a group she tries to almost 'hide' her face with something) although somedays she seems more confident or 'open' than others.
Here's the thing, whenever I enter the room she's in she'll be looking at the door looking at me walking in then as soon as I look at her she turns her head and eyes away from me and goes back to loking at her PC screen. The thing is two other guys go in before me and she'll look at them but them as soon as I look boom immediate look away. I've noticed it again as im about to look at her she'll look away. If I look at her whilst she's walking past, and she notices, she'll avert her eyes.
She seems to kind of ignore me more than others. Not totally ignore me though she's still interacting but slightly less so? It's hard to explain. When I bought something she was asking who I bought the item for, if we're together in a group she'll be more Interacting with me, but if we're alone she'll be less so, even sometimes talk bluntly and serious. If we pass eachother alone she won't say a word to me, other times she will. she mentioned to a couple of us guys about our girlfriends, but whilst she said it she looked at me from the corner of her eye.
She knows I don't have a gf, but that was from about a month ago. Another guy joked about me being not good looking and she laughed. It sounds like she dislikes me a lot right? But the thing is she laughs at things I say when I'm joking, and she calls me sometimes by my full first name, no one does because I'm known by my short name. And saying all this sometimes again when someone else is with us when I'm talking she'll keep very good eye contact and literally won't look else where, that is until some other girl enters the room then she stops interacting with me. If said girl teases me, she won't even laugh.
Do I annoy this woman? it's starting to bother me, why she would avoid looking at me when I look at her etc I hope I haven't done anyhting for her to dislike me.
Thanks

I think it is the total opposite. It sounds like she has a massive crush on you. If you like her try asking her out for a coffee & see how she reacts. I suspect she may blush & get flustered but agree. Good luck Grin

Err, wow I was not expecting this! I honestly thought she didn't feel much for me at all, friendly at most. I did once ask her what she is doing for valentines (although awkwardly - im a bit shy!) and she replied looking down with a massive grin on her face and replied 'nothing' then asked if I'm doing anything. I thought the smiling was that she was laughing at me because I was a bit nervous??
The truth is ive secrelty been in love with this woman for a long time..

Stop messing about and ask her out for a coffee or something.

And what did you say when she asked you what you were doing valentines? She probably thought you were going to ask her out and you didn't. Did you have a plan for the conversation or did you say " I'm not doing anything either" and wander off?"

Please ask her out - it's so obvious she's got a huge crush on you.
Be prepared for awkwardness but only because she's shy and will want to hide how much she likes you. She could actually come across all wrong, but please persevere even if the conversation stalls or she looks like she's going to hit you or anything like that - take it from us wise women that she is totally Envy about you.

You must report back.

There could be two answers

1: she REALLY likes you
2: she is like me and not one for male friendships. So kinda keeps out of your way.

Thanks for the inputs :)
I'm pretty sure her lack of eye contact is in fact she has low self esteem. When I look at her to talk to her she averts her eyes down when she sees me loking at her, not even talking to her! But then other days when I feel Shes feeling more 'confident' she'll easily look me in the eyes when talking in fact she doesn't look anywhere else, we both look into eachothers eyes when talking.
