Let's be clear here, you sent yourself on the wild goose chase.

the wild goose chase took place for about ~ 3 months after that when I was her 'friend' trying to get her back

I think a mistake young men often make (at least on the internet) is thinking that for women attraction is an intellectual process. I can't imagine why they think that, but they seem to believe that women can be persuaded to be attracted to them. It's bizarre because I sure don't think it is intellectual for men! So why do some men think that women are different?
she told me I was attractive, she told me that she liked me ( i didn't mention that earlier)
....I could of let go much easier if she would of gave me a strait answer.

You just need to move on. Please don't turn into a stalker.

Have you never been attracted to a girl at first and then, after you talked to her and got to know her a bit, decided you were not attracted after all? It's normal. It's the reason people date, rather than get married within 5 minutes of meeting each other. Dating is so that you can see if the initial attraction bears out.

yeah, but I wouldn't go on three dates with her and let her kiss me.

& I've also heard several times that women know within the first 30 seconds whether they want to sleep with a man...this is the same for men, but still, the point remains.

Why not? With the last guy I dated, we went out every weekend for 2 months and out of nowhere he just decided he didn't like me anymore and broke it off.

This stuff happens.

"You act like you're not interested"

This means, 'I am frustrated by the lack of sex in this relationship.'

"I move away from people when I feel like I can't open up to them"

This means, 'I feel like if I open up to you, you wont respond in a supportive way.' She may have the impression that you don't have the skills for that part of a relationship.
Where in the hell did you get that from?

The only people who think that are men who don't know anything about women .

Most women take much longer than men to become attracted. Usually a couple of dates. Some take months. Some have to kiss a man before they know. Three dates and a kiss is perfectly normal.

I read a 'study' of sorts (probably a poll or infographic, but I digress) that said the average man falls 'in love' within the first 3 dates, while the woman takes 14+. I thought that was really interesting.
