I've been friends with someone for 10 years since college. We were incredibly close for the first few years but drifted apart during final year of uni. Since then, I've been the one mainly initiating contact, and when I had my daughter 2.5 years ago, she was excited but never visited despite a few invitations.
Recently she reached out with a random story, and I took the chance to say I missed her and wanted to reconnect. She responded enthusiastically the same day, saying she'd been thinking about me too and wanted to "meet my little family and know me as an adult." When I suggested planning a coffee to catch up, she never replied - it's been two weeks now, though she's still active on social media and views my stories.
I'm confused about whether she's genuinely busy (I know I can be a terrible texter as a mum), overwhelmed by the prospect of reconnecting, or just said yes out of politeness. I really want to rebuild our friendship but feel stuck in limbo. Should I reach out again in a couple weeks with a no-pressure message, or take her silence as a sign to let it go? Would you expect a response by now, or could she just be busy?
