Should I reply to her, or should I just leave it?

During the summer, I dated a girl who later moved to a different country. Our communication during this long-distance period hasn’t been very strong. I tried to stay in touch, but she often said she was busy, leaving me as the one putting in more effort to keep things going.
Then, right before her birthday, she randomly texted and started a conversation, only to go silent again for two weeks afterward. Recently, she texted me, apologizing for not replying. She has mentioned before that she’s not great at texting, and I know she might be busy.
Should I reply to her, or should I just leave it?

Meh, I wouldn't bother. Sounds like a hassle.

It depends on what you want. I’m guessing your dating was quite casual?

It doesn’t sound like she wants a relationship, sounds like she just wants to text/ be friends/ stay in touch.

So if you want to pursue a relationship, this may not be the right situation for you.

I had it with a guy where I turned my sights elsewhere but still liked the guy/ hanging out with him as friends, so occasionally I text. Whereas when we were dating we’d text morning, night and everything in between. It just faded without any words exchanged, sounds a bit similar here, especially considering she moved away
