When I was single and using internet dating sites (about 12 years ago), I encountered a few women who seemed to be playing games. I was single because my wife had died about six months before after a very long terminal illness, and my mindset was definitely "life's too fucking short for pissing about". When I broke off my connection to the women I thought were playing games, I did so with a message very politely explaining why I was doing so; not criticising them, just telling them my perspective of what had gone on between us, and why I wasn't willing to tolerate that. That wasn't well-received by a couple, but I didn't care. I would have wanted feed-back about what had gone wrong if our positions had been reversed, so I wanted to give them some.
You seem to have spent quite a bit of time talking to this woman, so you must feel some sort of mutual attraction. Maybe the time you've invested so far would justify you explaining to her - politely - how you're feeling.

Totally understand your point of view.
I detest game-playing too.
