Are these signs she wants me back or just misses me as a friend?

Hey guys,

Me and the ex broke up around 7 months ago after 2 years together.

The break wasn't mutual, but we both seem to agree shortly after it was for the best.

Since then, I have moved back home and she has too. When we were together we both lived in Nottingham where we shared a close group of friends.

She still visits the friends regularly (two weekends a month on average) whilst I have only seem them maybe twice as I have just been wanting to get on with my life.

We have largely not remained in contact. Just pleasant Happy Birthday texts and nothing more.

I saw her recently for the first time at Glastonbury Festival. I agreed to pitch her tent with her friend as she couldn't arrive until Friday night due to work. I pitched the tent because we had mutual friends coming and I didn't want awkwardness with one of us not being able to camp with the group.

I was a little anxious about seeing her, but just wanted to have fun and realised any steps I could make with her towards being civil would benefit our mutual friends.

So there's a little back story.

Just some of what she said made me wonder if she still has romantic feelings or was simply reminiscing about the past and wants us to be closer as friends.

When she arrived she asked which bands I was going to see - specifically asking if I would see one band which I introduced her too.

She also said "remember how good the paella we got last year was? We were going to get that for lunch".

The whole group went to see a band on the Sunday (Barry Gibb) - the only one I saw with her, and it was a good show.

When she left Sunday night (had work early on the Monday), I text her saying it was nice to see her and hope she got back safe. Just a pleasant text from my end.

She replied with saying how great it was to see me and hang out, and that the afternoon we saw Barry Gibb was one of her favourite afternoons of the past year (we only spent about 45mins together across the whole festival) and continued to ask what I had been up to over the past few months.

Now I know this might be hard to answer without more context, but from my end we have broken up and given each-other space. I thought we may have some friendly chat (We did) but I am wondering if she wants more by bringing up memories together with me?

Thanks in advance for the responses.

There's nothing here to suggest anything romantic. I'd leave it in the pass. She'll chase you if she's interested.

Sounds like you want more possibly, I can tell you for sure she doesn't.

Just keep being friendly and no pressure. If she wants more you will soon know..
