Why does she compare herself to my ex?

Anonymous
We're both 18.

Recently confessed to my closest female friend that i like her. she's made it clear that she's not rejecting me, but doesn't want anything now because of her VERY recent break up. a couple times she's said to me "You said you vibed with (my previous ex) better" and i honestly dont recall ever saying that. then i thought about it and thought... maybe i did mention that. i was obsessed with my last ex and she was the first girl i said i love you to, but after the infatuation and break up ended i realized my ex wasn't all that great (and yes i did tell my best friend this later)

Anyway my best friend has brought it up a couple more times, like when i was talking to her about the idea of dating and i said to her "We vibe very well and we're very close". i was confused at her bringing it up a couple times more in similar related convos (it meaning me saying i got along with my ex better).

i finally asked her about it in person (previous times were over text) "Hey, why do you compare yourself to my ex alot?" and she stood there silent for a good 3 whole seconds and just said "i dont know, you just said to me one time you vibe with her better" and as i mentioned before i did explain to her how i realized my ex wasn't all that great
