Got questioned by a recruiter after pulling myself out of the process

So I was contacted by a recruiter about an opportunity that would be a step blip for me salary wise. After chatting with her we agreed she should present me to them.

A week later with no update, I emailed the recruiter and asked to be respectfully withdrawn from consideration for the role.

When she followed up with me she seemed genuinely gobsmacked at my decision. I explained to her that it’s kinda like dating: if I asked someone out and they wanted to think about it, sure no problem. But after a week I’m not gone still be standing by.

Any thoughts? Seems like common sense to me.
