<human>: I was seeing a girl for two months and in July she went backpacking Europe with her two friends for 4 months. Something happened, I told her my feelings for her, she didn't reciprocate the same way, I got needy, insecure, jealous, and kinda ended things when they didn't have to. 

After coming across as needy and desperate, I decided to distance myself and go no contact. After 7 days she contacted me asking about me and even liked my ALS bucket challenge video. This time though I wasn't as affectionate and was slower to respond. She even asked me at one point "So are we not talking now??"

We conversed a bit more and then went another 2 weeks no contact. She messaged me on Saturday asking about me again and told me whats been happening in Europe. I spent the 3 hours deciding whether to respond and right after I did, I regretted it. My message though wasn't too cold and wasn't too friendly and I didn't really leave it for a response. She's seen it and I don't think it was what she was expecting. 

My question is why is this girl messaging me. Is she still trying to hold on to me for when she returns or is she just genuinely trying to be a friend? If it were up to me Id get back with this girl in a second but I don't want to come across as affectionate again and potentially push her away.

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: Girl I dated messaged me again, getting mixed signals if she is coming at me as a friend or is still interested?
