"If he is more likely horrid, then she is probably going to get the worst case scenario. So give her number if he seems nice, and don’t give her number if he doesn’t seem nice. "
i think you are onto something here, and i think you are right not to use 2 actor game theory, https://twitter.com/lastpositivist/status/1347192287051337731

but i have a slightly different interpretation of some of the lyrics that comes from keeping the man of her interest in mind, or at least how she is thinking about the man of her interest. she is perceiving him as making the same judgment of her as nice vs not nice
when i sang my first girlfriend The National - Slow Show, the lyrics made her go:
"You know I dreamed about you" (she said 'aw that's true', because i'd mentioned a dream she was in earlier that day)
"For twenty-nine years before I saw you" (this made her recoil)
"You know I dreamed about you" (she said 'aw that's true', because i'd mentioned a dream she was in earlier that day)
"For twenty-nine years before I saw you" (this made her recoil)
"Before you came into my life I missed you so bad… and you should know that”
i believe this is a similar thought as The National lyric. and the man *should* know that she missed him before meeting him (that's weird), but the drama of the song is that she is not telling him

she has an unhealthy level of interest that is not driven by him as a person (she doesn't know very much about him), and she is trying to hide it with 'maybe' and 'this is crazy' (freudian slip)
i also don't want to call carly irrational! imo she is speaking a deep human truth about professing romantic interest and how in the initial stages it does not make a lot of sense because of the emotional difficulty of asking and the lack of information you have about the person
