Why it works
It says what you want without accusing her of lying. It also stops the endless cycle of treating future language like a scheduled date.
Message clinic · warm words, no plan
Someone can enjoy talking to you and still be unavailable for the kind of connection you want. You do not have to solve the contradiction for her.

One message. One decision.
The message
She texts often and says she wants to see you, but every invitation ends with “soon” or “we’ll figure it out.”
The read
The communication is warm. The behavior around meeting is consistently vague. Both facts can be true at the same time.
The reply I’d use
Why it works
It says what you want without accusing her of lying. It also stops the endless cycle of treating future language like a scheduled date.
Don’t send this
Why do you keep leading me on?
It assigns a motive you cannot verify and invites an argument about intent instead of addressing the pattern you can see.
If this keeps happening
Availability, consistency, and follow-through matter too. You can believe that she likes you and still decide the current pattern does not work for you.
Make it sound like you
I enjoy this, but I’d rather make a plan than keep saying soon. Let me know when you have a day.
I’m going to step back from texting. Reach out if you want to set an actual date.
You do not need to prove that she is secretly uninterested. The practical question is whether the connection, as it exists now, gives you what you are looking for.
A boundary is cleaner than another investigation. Name the pattern, state what you want, and let future action speak for itself.

Quick answers
Yes. Interest, readiness, availability, and willingness to make a plan are separate things.
You may not know her motive. You can still respond to the observable pattern and protect your time.
If the texting keeps you attached to a plan that never happens, stepping back is a reasonable boundary.
