Input: TL;DR: Girl loses interest after ex stops by. I act like an ass then apologize. She "wants to be friends" then disappears.

I started talking this girl (online) and we really hit out off. We texted for a few days and had a "maybe" to meet. She bailed the day of, because her cousins birthday party ran long. I said I would like to meet her this week but next week is okay if she wanted to talk more. We texted/talked on the phone with plans to do something the next Saturday. 

Saturday rolls around and she bails again! She texts me ~2.5 hours after we were supposed to meet and said she's sorry. She said she left her phone in the car during an office party and she also had the time wrong.. I accepted it and said how about tomorrow? Then she mentions her cousin was planning to kidnap her and bring her back sometime tomorrow. 

The next day she texts Hey and gives me the sidestep. After nearly the entire day she agrees to meet me. We hang out at her house and have a relaxed time. The next day she's even more open.

Without disclosing too many details on here, her ex came by after a really crappy day and did something nice for her. This is the same ex she's been out of a relationship with for 5 months; they dated 4 years and were supposed to get married that Halloween. She said it never worked between them and that they were still friends. The Sunday I met her I could tell she still liked him. That Monday after the visit she went to bed earlier than usual. The next day she was super distant w/ me, where she had been wanting more all the time.

In hindsight I should have done something different, but I mentioned she still had feelings for her ex and I liked her way too much for how much she seemed to like me. I also said that we should be friends (which is what she said she wanted anyway, most of the time). This really struck a nerve with her! She got mad and maybe blocked me? She didn't respond except for one text, so I assume she did.

Anyway, 9 days later I message her on the dating app and apologize. My timing was awful but I never knew where I stood with her (so many mixed signals). It didn't help I mentioned this (ex thing) on the 30th, when she probably had a lot on her mind.

She sends back "I would like to be friends", but doesn't respond to anything after that. I may have waited too long. She may have lost interest. In any case, **am I the asshole**?
