What are the realistic odds of her coming back after a messy fallout? Need an outside perspective.

Hey everyone, I need an honest, outside perspective on my recent breakup / situationship fallout. I want to lay down the key facts of the dynamic to understand the realistic chances of her reaching out or wanting to reconcile in the future (not necessarily tomorrow, but down the road).
Here is the context:
We started texting back and forth sporadically in 2023 (we'd chat for a week or two, then go silent for months). This dynamic continued until early 2026, when we started talking much more consistently. By March, we were texting every single day.

Every single time we met up, I waited outside my car to open the door for her—zero exceptions. Initially, she thought I didn't like her because I was somewhat quiet and didn't rush any physical moves on the first date (unlike the guys she had dated right before me).

I paid for literally every dinner and meal date we had. At most, she occasionally chipped in for movie snacks, but that was it.

I paid attention to every small detail she mentioned, to the point where she was often surprised. She once wanted a specific book at a bookstore but couldn't buy it at the time; I remembered and surprised her with it almost a month later. I gave her favorite flowers (tulips), which no one had ever given her before, not even her only ex (they lasted 4 years and broke up 6 yrs ago, her ex is already in a 2 year relationship with someone else I found this by myself btw). When she had severe period cramps, I drove over through heavy rain to drop off essentials, pain relief items, and chocolates. I was always strictly punctual (never more than 5 minutes late).

When things were great, she confessed to me that I was the only guy who managed to genuinely awaken romantic feelings in her after 6 years of being emotionally closed off following her last official relationship.

I completely cut off a female friend from my life so she wouldn't feel uncomfortable, as this friend had weird/inappropriate attitudes, I always prioritized her because I wanted her to feel secure.

She confessed that she ended things with the guy before me because he moved way too fast, was excessively affectionate right away, and she couldn't reciprocate naturally. With me, however, she became affectionate on her own initiative—in fact, she was the one who initiated physical contact.

She knew I had never had a formal girlfriend before and that my heart was pure/genuine, though I was open with her about some trust insecurities from dishonest people I had dated in the past.

She was the first person who ever got me to drink alcohol and get genuinely "happy"/tipsy. So she knows she was my first time on many things (I grew up in a conservative family)

The very last time we saw each other in person (right before the text argument), we had our best date ever. She kissed my hand, and she even texted me afterwards thanking me for how great the date was.

The breakup happened due to an accusation on my part regarding a like she gave to an Instagram Reel, which I interpreted as being about talking to an ex. In response, I liked a video that said something along the lines of "Why do I always end up with traumatized girls?". She got mad about it and sent me a screenshot, to which I replied with my own screenshot of her like on the "ex" reel. That was the origin of the fight, egos clashed, and it led to mutual blocking and zero contact.

I reached out 9 days after the argument asking if we could talk. She told me there was nothing to talk about, wished me luck, and immediately blocked me on Instagram (she had already blocked me on WhatsApp, but had only unfollowed/removed me on Instagram and TikTok). As a final move, I reached out via TikTok to apologize from the bottom of my heart in case I ever made her feel bad, admitting it was a reaction rooted in fear and didn't represent what I truly felt for her, and then I blocked her (around July 11). I unblocked her on July 30, and on August 6 I liked one of her TikTok videos, to which she responded minutes later by blocking me on that app. During the period between unblocking her and that like, she posted several subliminals/reposts: some were sad and nostalgic (like romantic movie edits we both loved), while others were bitter, along the lines of "I understand why you are like this, but it’s no excuse, learn, change, heal" or "Anyone making this much drama over a situationship has nothing going on in their life." She even posted a story on TikTok (something she literally never does) with background music containing lyrics along the lines of "She is innocent until proven otherwise", and pinned it as a story highlight on her profile—another thing she had never done before (worth noting that unlike Instagram, TikTok allows you to see exactly who views your story highlights). After she blocked me again, I blocked her back on TikTok, returned the block on Instagram as well, and set my TikTok account to private so she couldn't view my reposts even from another account.

If she ever wants to contact me, she has my phone number, I blocked her on all social media to make sure she didn’t feel like she had control over the situation and that I would wait for her forever (to unblock me)
