do you keep your kid away from a kid you dont like?

Nope, I would stop organizing it. If your kid is coming to you and asking to hang out, that's one thing. But I would turn down these invites down regularly.

Your DD needs to know that yo-yo style relationships are not healthy relationships. Friends are people you get along with the vast majority of the time. If that's not happening, it may just mean you aren't the best fit. No one is "wrong" it's just not clicking and that's ok. It's ok to be "kinda friends" and only see each other at school and be friendly there too.

You can only control up to a certain point. When they have their own phones and communicate and plan meetings without you, it's mostly up to them.
Teach your kids to know when to back out and not be in a relationship/friendship but do it in a nice way. Because that's a skill you must learn growing up. When to reject and when to accept and when to reciprocate. Alot of kids act differently when they are on their own and when they are with their peers. Sometime, it is peer pressure and sometime it's their personality.
That's why every time when a teen gets in big trouble with the law, especially if there are other teens involve, the parents always say oh, he's an angel. Yeah right, you don't know how your kid is when other peers are around.
