Seven months ago, I broke up with my ex, I have dated two girls since then. I'm not hung up on her; but I am still fond of her, and would like to possibly reconnect and see about starting dating again. We had the most passionate relationship ever, but she broke up with me because I didn't pay enough attention to her and we had a misunderstanding. Up until June I had barely spoken to her, I left her alone, but when i did text her (once or twice every 2 months or so) she mostly ignored me. We do work together but hardly ever run into each other at work.

So on her birthday, in June, I decided to wish her a happy birthday, she did respond with a "thanks" text, which surprised me. Then on July 1, we ran into each other at work, and when she saw me, her eyes lit up, she said "HI!!!" and she got a Great Big Smile on her face; you could tell she was truly happy to see me.

I decided to text her something funny, and she liked it, I then asked her "so what is new with u", and she started telling me what she has been up to, she has traveled with her gay friend, she has been training for marathon etc. No mention of a new guy or anything tho. This went on, back and forth, for the past several weeks, and several times, I have run into her again at work, and again she smiles, looks me in the eyes, etc. Sort of flirty. I decided to ask her if she would like to meet up sometime, she said sure. She said she could not meet up that weekend but maybe next week. Her co-worker female friend, who has been cold towards me since the breakup, is suddenly nicer to me, chats with me etc.

So then a few days later, in an attempt to put her at ease (I acted needy during the breakup phase and want her to know I have regained my confidence), I texted her to tell her "hey, just to clarify, when we meet up, it is on the condition of friends only, is that ok?" and a couple hours later she did reply, "Yes, that is fine, because I am already seeing someone, so no worries!" I said oh good for you, how long have you been dating, etc but she avoids answering those questions. We have continued to talk since then but she has been busy and has not been able to meet up (she has been on call at work and I do know that is a busy time). Of course, she also may be "busy" with the new guy, if he does exist.

SO...my question is...what do you think her angle is? My thoughts are, since she did not mention a new guy at all up front, and agreed to meet up with me, then it must not be that serious, and that maybe she is open to meeting and seeing how things go between us. It seems to me, that if a girl is really into a new guy, and it is serious, they usually say so up front, or say "No" to meeting up and then they mention they have a boyfriend. I know that she has no problem ignoring me when she doesnt want to talk to me, and I dont think she would have a problem telling me No. But at the same time, she is slow to erspond t my texts and slow to actually schedule meeting me. So, not sure how to play this game with her!

What advise can you offer?
