Dear me:
I’m not absolutely sure that I understand: “Direct? No, backs off. Open? No, backs off. Playful? Welcomes it”- you mean that you were direct and open with her, and when you were, she backed off, and the only times she didn’t back off was when you were playful..?
Seems like she has a commitment problem perhaps or she’s uncomfortable with real intimacy..?
Not that I think that you’re interested in analyzing her 😊
