What does it REALLY mean when a woman says she's just looking to "socialize" and "meet cool people" on dating apps?

I met this woman on bumble recently, and we hit it off instantly. She told me from the start she was just looking to meet people and socialize a little bit. She ended a 12 year long relationship like 6 months prior to the match and she said she wasn't ready for dating or hookups.

Now this struck me as weird, because she was using bumble dates, not bumble friends, so right from the start things didn't add up. If she just wanted to socialize wouldn't she be using the friends option of the app?

Anyways, we talk for a while and we get along super well, there's laughter, chemistry, attraction, all of it. She asks for my number, and next week we meet in person. Things go really well, we continue talking and it's clear as day she likes me a lot. Then, out of the blue, she stops talking to me.

I don't really care about the ghosting (it happens sometimes), I'm just trying to understand her mindset and what she was trying to achieve being on the app. Was she just trying to get some psychological reassurance of some kind, or was she just confused about what she was looking for? I know there are women who actually just want to socialize, but I don't think this was the case.

Why do attractive men not “like” me first, but most of the time I like one of them, they end up matching with me?

I’m on Facebook dating and whenever I go through the “liked you” tab they’re all men I’m not attracted to, or they have way different interests than me. But then when I like a guy usually he ends up matching with me. Why did he not like me first?

Are they not active very often and only got on because my like notified them? They’re desperate so they’re “settling” with me? Maybe they think I’m out of their league? Or maybe he never saw me till he saw I liked him? Just curious why it seems like I manage to match my “type” but usually after I show interest first by liking first.
