Seems like many guys go through this trial by fire.
I did this a few times too when I was younger, and it took me a long time to understand the psychology behind it. What you said is exactly what happens because girls usually expect the guy to be the initiator. Even if they are interested in a guy initially, if that guy doesn't make his move within a certain timeframe they'll probably assume he's not interested and move on.
On the other hand guys can often be shy and unsure of how to approach the girl, so they stall and try to become friends to get more comfortable with her. But if your intention is to date her, then this is a terrible way to go and is virtually guaranteed to result in failure. I think they should teach male/female psychology in school, because this isn't something most people understand intuitively.
