> I said "well that sucks nothing to pay for then right?" She texted back "what do you mean?" And I just focused on my time with my friends

This, together with being almost 3h late after a vulnerable time, would greatly piss me off. Also I wouldn't have texted you either seeing her last text was a question and you obv acted distant/hurt (for no reason in her mind imo).

She didn't say she needed space, I think she might have felt you did already a lot and didn't want to bother you further.

But, both need a clearer communication if you guys decide to go ahead.
