Was I being needy?

[PS79]

I am very good acquaintences with the girl. We have chemistry..ridiculous chemistry. She flirts with me like crazy in person...eventually I asked her out....she said yes...but a couple of days later she got back with her bf.

During this time we still e-mailed once or twice a week and we texted when we wanted to...once every couple weeks. Great banter, lots of teasing. I still sarcastically asked her out on a date via text every once in a blue moon (as a joke) while she was dating her bf...she would never reply back but I would call her out on it in a funny way... Any other text i would send she would reply...

A month later she told me she broke up with her bf....but mistakenly...i still sarcastically asked her out on a date (again with no replay) not realizing she's an emotional mess now...so i did apologize.

Again we are very good acquaintances. ...An example, when she thought she saw me in public (she was dating someone at that time), she sent me a text to see if that was actually me so she could say hi.

At this time I cut off all communications with her bc she needs time to heal and she probably needs space...

Was I being needy in this situation?

To be honest with you mate, when she got back with her boyfriend after she broke up with you, you should of cut contact immeditaley... it MAY of came off needy, but hey, thats my two cents, leave it to the experts

True but I was talking to her before that as well...with the same tempo....I lost in touch with her for a good 2 years and then we reconnected.

That's why I'm asking what others think...

You weren't being needy, but asking her on a date through a text message where the chances of a text being misunderstood is high comes off as Jerk like behaviour who just wants an easy lay and what's easier than a girl who is messed up emotionally? I'd ditch any attempt to get with her, she clearly likes you for an ego boost and is more than happy to get back with an ex instead of getting with you.
