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?
She could still like you, while having a boyfriend. Women will often latch onto someone while vying for someone else- it's not mutually exclusive.
She could also just have a crush on you, and see you as someone outside of her league (just based on age); so, any attention she gives you is just her being a fan girl.
Lastly, young women (and women generally) love validation and attention. We all know teenage boys will jump at any female attention- it's not a rare/ valuable thing. Getting the attention of an older guy could be a higher grade of validation/ attention that she may want.
Also, it could be any combination of these things. The real question is, are you interested in this girl? If you are, then tell her before she changes her mind.

You're not reading it wrong. She's just very immature for her age and probably "boy crazy". She may have a boyfriend but at her age, it would not be unsurprising that she still looks around. There's some interest in her part but she may be waiting for you you to make a move. Due to her age, though, I would back off until she hits 18 at least if you're interested still.
