TITLE: I [27 M] met this girl [27 F] on Match, just had 1st date and need a little advice on how to proceed
POST: I met this girl on match about 2 weeks ago and we immediately clicked. We had to wait until this past weekend to meet up for a date, but we were both super excited for it.

Saturday comes, and the date goes well. We met up for drinks and dinner is a very nice part of my city. We connected, laughed, talked about all the normal first date stuff and more, and I felt good by the end of the night. And from what I could read from her, she felt the same way.

The next day I get a text from her saying she didn't feel the same connection she thought she would, and I responded saying I was very sorry to hear that and wished her the best of luck. As the day went on it just kept bothering me, so I sent her another text that night, just to kindly ask where she felt our connection fell short. I made sure to approach this delicately, but I just had to know.

Last night she responded, and she said the date was great and everything went well, but that she had been building a connection with someone else and her gut told her to focus on that. She said she had feelings for me, but just had to focus on the other connection. I understand what she means, and I told her that, and wished her luck with everything. I also made sure to tell her keep me in mind should things change, because I'd love to take her out again.

Should I have been more aggressive with this? I don't want to push too hard, but I want her to know how strongly I feel about this. I really like her and I am confident things would be great between us. I'm just hoping that line "if you really want something, let it go. If it comes back it is meant to be" comes true.
TL;DR: 
Met a girl on match, went out on a great date. She wants to focus on another relationship despite the good date. I responded nicely, but I want to get my side and feelings across without being too pushy.
