Looking for some alpha advice here. Been lurking and taking in the advice for a while, never thought I would actually make a post here, but I had a weird interaction on a date today and want to know if I fucked up.

Here's what happened:

Matched with this girl on Tinder. (HG6-7, dipping my toes in the water, first night on the app, trying to practice some skills for girls I'm actually interested in) Quick back and forth, got her number, moved to texting, set a date 7 days in advance. A little far out for my taste, but she lives in another town and would be visiting her cousin closer to me a week from then, who will be at work most of the day. (test? idk, I just tried to maintain frame and say ok let's plan that day then, IDGAF mentality) Next day she texts me in the morning, I throw her some bones throughout the day, but try to keep it light. (text for logistics) At the end of the day she brings up this coffee shop in a city near us, I say yeah I've been there and we agree to meet there the next day. (moved the date up 6 days)

Day of the date, it's in the city and neither of us live close, so my gameplan is just to get a vibe, maybe make out, and try to hard close on the next date if she's cool. She texts me that she's going inside and asked if I want anything as I'm walking from where I parked to the shop. (free drink, cool) I say sure, just get me something good. A few minutes later, I see her at the register and wait until she's done paying, once she moves to the side and turns around, I approach and try to open with a hug, but she takes a step back and puts her hand out. This bothered me for obvious reasons, but I quickly try to maintain frame and make a joke about social distancing while taking a step back myself. I use the bathroom while waiting for our drinks, and then we sit and chat for an hour and a half, which went well. We walked around the city after and I was hesitant to make a move like holding her hand or going in for a kiss because of the initial hug interaction, so I didn't. (bitch move, looking back) I walk her to her car and she says something about being sorry about the hug thing, that she's just weird about hugs. (here I should have asked if she was weird about kisses and tried to k close, my wit wasn't fast enough, biggest L of the day) I say something like "Oh you're fine, I figured I probably just caught you off guard". She reiterates she's just weird about hugs, and I ask if she's just not a very physical person or...? (trying to set an implied precedent that I want to fuck if we are going to see eachother again) She says no, it's really just she doesn't like hugs. We talk for a few more minutes, she gets in her car and we go our separate ways. 45-60m later I get a text about how much fun she had, I agree, and we're meeting again on our originally planned date, in a few days, where I intend to close.

Maybe I'm reading too far into this, but I felt rejected in our first interaction, and even though I maintained frame and she claims to have had a good time and is clearly thirsty for me at this point, (texting me she "misses me already tbh" hours later in the day, after this happened) I feel like I fucked up somewhere. Not attached, just trying to learn, first date in a while, been on that Monk mode grind. I have another date with another woman tomorrow night who I am more interested in and I would like to do better.
