Dear Damien:

You are welcome.

“I guess first step would be to have a time together in real life, not texting anymore. Before we were exchanging quite a lot and she seemed happy for my changes and even 1 week before her decision, she was looking forward we could meet“- I agree. No doubt, meeting for the first time in a year and a half, is the best way to go, if the goal is better communication.

You will need to prepare for the meeting (when will it take place, approximately?), prepare for different scenarios: what to do if this happens, what to do if that happens.. Set realistic expectations in your mind before meeting her, try to come to peace with the different possible results of meeting with her in-person before you meet her, prepare the questions you want to ask her, etc.
