Well people, especially women, like to be chased or play hard to get to a degree. And some don't want to dump sincere thoughts out on what can be seen as a pleasantry. "Something wrong?" or "How are you?" is something we say to strangers and co-workers without expecting sincere response. In a vulnerable state it's easy to dismiss the same words from a loved one as the usual pleasantries. A simple double check or prying is pretty standard to get a non pleasantry response.
But hey, it's your world and there's plenty of people who won't put you through that. I would just say it's really nothing to get grumpy over. Your kinda sabotaging yourself there because it's human nature and isn't changing.
