Unless you are in an exclusive relationship, what difference does it make? Time and tide wait for no man (or woman), and neither should you. Just go on with your life and if they come back, then decide if you want to continue.

I am talking about an exclusive relationship. She ended up responding to me, but I am a little rattled at thos point and decided to decline her calls and texts at the moment.

That seems rather precipitate and also immature. Don't punish people by not communicating. Do you want the relationship to continue? Then talk to her and discuss your feelings when she was not responsive. If not, then tell her that it's over.

I just spoke to her. Come to find out, it was a misunderstanding. I thought maybe she was avoiding me, but there was actually a text that failed to send and she didn't realize it until now.

soooo, guys have a tendency to overreact, too?

I would consider this as avoiding you on message left on. read an on social media bieng blocked, in public avoiding you an any place you may show up.
