Ex/situationship mixed signals

I (17F) and my ex (18F) have been in a really weird situationship because we want to get back together, but she needs to mature a little more before we do so. She plays a lot of games with me and jokes a lot. She's also very immature at times, and it gets frustrating because I always have to be the voice of reason and the mature one.

Yesterday, we were on the phone and flirting, and I said, "You're all talk. You never flirting with me or even try being affectionate in person because you overthink too much. You just get confident on call, " to which she replied with "Oh really? I'll prove you wrong tomorrow watch" So today, I was under the impression she would try to make the move and kiss me (we havent kissed in 2 years, when we were first together) and I had my hopes up all day. We hung out more than usual, and we even met up during 3 separate periods. However, nothing. I was flirting with her to make it obvious that she could kiss me, but she never did. Well, I ended up telling her that she proved my point, I was disappointed, and I was right. She followed me EXTREMELY slowly while I was on my way to my next class, and I got tired of walking slowly and telling her to speed up, so I started walking at my own pace. THEN, as we reach the front of the school where EVERYONE is, she grabs my hand, turns me around, and tries to kiss me me. WHAT?? I jerked my head back, and just said no. She knows I hate PDA, and she still decided to do it then. I hate that I was right about how she overthinks too much to make moves on her own, and maybe I care more than I should, but this genuinely upset me.

She apologized over text after, and I asked why. She then called herself embarrassing, and when I asked what she meant, she left me on delivered for 2 hours, which she was reposting videos during, and then replied with "I just am" I don't know how to feel about this whole situation or what to do. Am I going to get anywhere with this situation or just feel bad for wanting a kiss?

TL;DR!!! My ex and I still have feelings for each other, but when I flirt with her, she's all talk. I was flirting with her all day and we were alone many times, but the one time we're around people, she tried to kiss me (I hate PDA and she knows that). Am I overreacting to be upset or should I just stop trying to be affectionate with her?
