AIO for ignoring this person i’ve been seeing for 4 months after they ghosted me for the 4th date

👥 friendship

I (30M) matched with a girl (26F) on a dating app in early October. She lives about 3 hours away from my city. We texted for few days and then i asked her if she’d like to meet for coffee, and i didn’t have any problems in driving down to her city. She said yes!

I went to her city and our first coffee date ended up lasting for a good 10 hours, where we made out and got very physical but did not sleep together. It was a great first date. I met her again 2 more times and on the third date in November, we actually went on a road trip and enjoyed our physical intimacy! Third date was also around 12 hours long!

First 3 dates happened over the course of 2 months (Oct to Nov). Now, she continued updating her dating profile during all those times. I get it, we’re not exclusive. I asked if she wanna do a video call and we ended up talking for 4 hours.. on the call i did tell her it’s only her I’m interested in but she gave vague response. I didn’t wanna pressure her .We had 2 more calls in December/january. She called me once.

Dec-Jan: these 2 months, we didn’t meet. She never initiated to meet. All the times i went to her city. However, In these 2 months, she sends me 10-15 reels daily on instagram but hardly texts to build a connection. She also disappears on weekends and then is back to sending me 10-15 reels Monday to friday. She also added me to her close friends circle on instagram story.

Mid Jan: Few weeks ago, i thought its time to have a good talk face to face, to see where its going since I happen to go to her city on Sunday to pick a friend from airport. I ask her on Friday if she’d be down to meet on Sunday for maybe lunch or something, before i pick my friend. This is the 4th potential date which i initiated. She responds with a reel (weird), then i reply with ?? to which she replies that’s great i will keep you posted.

Saturday/Sunday goes by, no text. Sunday night i think it’s done. On Monday morning she texts saying “heyy i got held this weekend, been so busy” and then starts sending those 10-15 reels as usual as if nothing happened. I replied later that night saying no worries and then Ive stopped entertaining her completely. I’m little bit hurt and confused. She has been sending me 10-15 reels a day as usual but I’m just ignoring it.

I feel bad for completely ignoring her, but I’m kind of pissed and feel like the string of attraction for me is broken. Am I overreacting?
