An algorithm was involved in that "match", a mindless machination that was developed in the interests of monetary profit by the dating site owners. That's a kind of scam. They don't want you to ever stop using the site, they want you screen-addicted - that is what all of those websites are designed for regardless of what their promotional material may tell you. They are in it for money and nothing more and that money comes from the continuing engagement of the users one way or another (either direct fees or advertising and datamining revenues or all three). It's a scam, man.
These dating site profiles are generally a pack of outright lies, half-truths, and personal self-delusions. And that is what the website program runs on. Everyone makes mistakes, but if you want to make really big ones - involve a computer.
Online conservation is basically note passing, absolutely juvenile. Exchanging notes is just one step up from whistles and smoke signals and one step down from communication forms like ham radio. It's a great way to be misunderstood and to misunderstand.
You wrote, "I don't think she understood..." and that is second guessing which is not a good thing in any kind of communication attempt.
There is a real world out there. That real world has real matches that are based on real behaviours rather than only online posturing and some mindless algorithms. If you want a real relationship then you are looking in the wrong place anywhere online. Move on, get out, and get some in the 3-D world.
