Yesterday night I just randomly asked her to go grab a [non-alcohlic] drink, and she agreed and we had a good fun talk for an hour or so then I cut it short
When I read this, I thought: "Damn he's lost it." I think your mistake here has been to not give her a clear signal of interest early enough. Like you said, you did not really invite her clearly on a date. You either "informally grabbed diner" or "randomly asked". You should have shown more determination, I think. Make it clear that you see her as more than friend material.

If I was a girl, and some guy just "randomly" invited me, I don't know if I could see him as more than friend material. I'd want to go out with a confident and determined man. Hence, the confusion she showed. Plus keep in mind Girls are 1000 times more perceptive when it comes to dating. So my guess is:

1) She sensed your interest
2) but you didn't show your intentions clearly

That comes out as non assertive enough.

Sometimes it's good to put yourself in the girl's shoes too.

I hope it's not too awkward to see her in the club. Anyways, there are plenty of girls out there. Good luck.
