Why do I do with this girl that tries too hard?

There is a girl that I know (we are not close to be friends, we just know each other) that mimics my words and or posture as well as she tries to impress me with things she knows I'm interested in (say, I once had a convo with my friends about lifting weights, surprisingly, she posted on social media a meme related to weightlifting the very next day). You see, I only see her once a week in a group meeting that we have and she always suggests that whenever there is an optional participation in doing something, she would like to pair with me, or if there is a general group convo about something, she only ASKS me to see what I think about. Her mother also seems to react to everything I post on social media as well (I mean positive reactions, a joke here and there, liking almost every single post I make and stuff like that. by the way, we share the same nationality). The thing is, most would think that the girl is hitting on me as trying to find things in common, and that is what I thought until I found out that the girl recently got a boyfriend, so why would she still do these things? The thing is that I rarely know her, I have only seen her once a week for the last year and we have not engaged in deep convos, since she is 17 and I'm 21, we have only talked about high school, college and stuff like that. I just want to know if I have been reading things wrong and she sees me as a brother/friend, but the thing is, why does she try too hard?
