She sounds like a great girl to me.

What's the problem?

You're not feeling connected enough? Maybe work on being interested in
the things she's interested and stop walking away when she's talking
about her stuff.

For instance, my kids are each interested in things I could care less
about but when they want to talk about something or show me something
"cool," I pay attention. Then they go back to doing what they were
doing, often without any interaction with me until the next time they
want to show me something.
