At their next meeting, our narrator favors us with a more extended reaction: Mr. Darcy had at first scarcely allowed her to be pretty; he had looked at her without admiration at the ball; and when they next met, he looked at her only to criticise. Collins' proposal of marriage.
Several times. So, she's shocked and horrified when Charlotte accepts a proposal from Mr. And hey, Darcy's there! The two engage in some verbal sparring, and Darcy, obviously, proposes. Elizabeth is like, "Um, what?
When Lizzy reads it, she realizes she was horribly mistaken about him and about Wickham. Elizabeth begins traveling with her only normal relations: the Gardiners.

That was when she realized just how much more there was to him than she had believed. I think that Lizzie's feelings for Darcy underwent an arc, from indignation and contempt at first, to a grudging respect after reading his note following her refusal of his first proposal, to a greater tenderness of esteem and gratitude after visiting Pemberly, and finally surrendering all of her remaining reservations after learning of Darcy's role in Lydia's marriage.
