English term or phrase: What made her tick

Ciao, sto traducendo un testo di narrativa che dice così:

The next morning, I woke up and acted like I’d never seen her before, probably because she was different from the other hook-ups in my life, and something about her made me feel nervous, because I wanted to know what made her tick. I knew right then that I had to shut those feelings down.

Grazie!

Italian translation:cosa l'animasse, la muovesse (dentro)

Explanation:
mi pare di capire che il tipo è confuso perché, diversamente dalle altre "scopate e via", dal sesso senza complicazioni sentimentali, vuole approfondire, è interessato a cosa pensi e provi e desideri questa ragazza... ha paura di sviluppare dei sentimenti, insomma, di approfondire il rapporto, di innamorarsi.

ovviamente è la mia interpretazione, magari ha cannato in pieno, forse si capisce meglio procedendo nella storia.
