I went out with this woman. She misread my text of when we would meet, so she was really angry with me for no good reason. When she saw that she had misread the text she kept face-palming herself.
The impression I got was that she was acting like a teenage girl.
What I would like to ask people is (I don't want to insult- this is a genuine question), are women who take hormones in a continual state of puberty or do you think she was imbalanced?

Perhaps, just ask a simpler question: are women, just women, that is, not perhaps likely to be nervous on a first date?
I have to agree with cyclist
I have to agree with cyclist on this one. The poor girl was probobly just nervous, and then embarrassed. Now could hormones have exaggerated her feelings a bit? Of course, but I could see myself having a similar reaction any day of the week.

We all do things in awkward situations that make us feel embarassed enough to think, "God, I'm such a spaz..."
Happens to me almost every day. And I just have the regular factory-installed hormone supply.
Might be worth giving her a second chance. Unless you really didn't like her. But still, try to be a gentleman about it. She might have just been having a really crap-filled day.

No way to know...
The opposite problem hit my daughter on her first date with a guy... He was an hour and a half late on their first date. He had "navigational" problems... She was a tad upset, but things ended up okay (they're still together over six years later). That said, several of her friends got the word that he was late (actually they got the word he'd stood her up - but didn't get the word that things got better). The guy got punched out once... And was in fear of that the rest of the day from others of my daughter's friends (she has LOTS of them that really care about her!!!). They laugh now.
So - making a mistake? Yeah, easy to do. We are humans. Being embarrassed about it? Yeah, specially when you get angry over something and it turns out you were in the wrong. Add in a first date? Sounds totally unsurprising to me.
As to continuous puberty? That's an individual thing. My experience is that it's more common among males than females, but it affects all humans. Some folks seem to never grow up... (Far to many IMO.)
