While I agree entirely with the content of your post, in this context, her actions would not make sense. The sensible action in this scenario would have been to say, "Yeah, you're a great guy and I'd love to get to know you better, but I'm in a relationship" or something along those lines to clearly define the situation.

Unfortunately, she's pretty clearly "just not that into you" and didn't want to say so as it is confrontational to some extent, even though this is one of those situations where almost everyone would prefer the more direct and truthful response.
