I'm taking that verse where she waits for a guy's phone calls as some kind of sarcasm. As in this is what she sees other people doing and she imagines herself doing that for a little bit but... "please stop me there, I'm even boring myself."
And she also entertains the idea of being in love with someone, not a real person, just a what-if scenario, but she can already see how it would end "If he gave me a sign / I'd think about it for a week / I'd build it up and then I'd turn him down"
This dating and relationship stuff is just not for her. She's "contrary". She's not one to let other people dictate to her what she is supposed to be doing.
Preachers disapprove of her flouting society's rules. A woman uninterested in getting a man? Unthinkable! She must be possessed by the devil! "God help the girl, she needs all the help she can get!"
