In the past this gem girl was always quite nice to me. Then one day I got her number and she started blowing up my phone. Constant and double messaging, we'd use other social media to talk too and if I didn't reply, she'd initiated through another avenue of communication. She started taking an active interest to mine; joining the gym when I talked about it and making friends with my friends (even the ones she did not like). Shortly after, she invited me out to the beach of which I'd declined because I had plans already. Then it stopped. She'd still promptly or always reply to my messages but I think my lack of effort or replying drove her away. At the same time, her replies were never those I'd get for a girl that seemed more interested in me.
And yet in person, she'd always seem super keen; staring at my lips, that smile that couples have, eye contact etc.
So I ended up asking her out and while she could not make a night, she offered a different night and we went from there. Everything seemed to be going great until we were talking about holiday trips we'd been to and I was talking about a place but she mentioned how she didn't like it and had gone with her ex (this is when I thought not a good start to the date; he was never mentioned again though). Next at the restaurant, she remarked on how tall a male waiter was (second thought of bleakness) and lastly we were teasing about supporting opposing sporting NBA teams of which turns out we went for the same team and she replied how we could not be friends otherwise.
But it was not all that bad. We had our moments where we laughed, conversation was good. We both made efforts to keep the conversation going in spite of pauses and silences here and there. I went to pay for dinner and declined her off but she said she'd pay next time. Then we went for a walk. We held hands but it felt forced and at the opportunity, she pulled away. At the end of the night I went to kiss her and got the cheek and a hug. To me, this was a date that went down the drainer; my worst to date. I was expecting an 'I don't see you that way' text from her but never received it. The next morning, I messaged to check up on her (she'd had food allergies) and apologised about how bad the night went (I'm not one to shy away from things) and she just laughed it off, said we were both stressed and replied as usual how it was alright and we continued on as normal.
Any gems can give me some insight into her? I think I took her for gra

This is coming from a fellow Aquarius male: I would move on.
