Cool that you are GALing. Keep it up!
Keep going! Don't ease up on the GAL!

Also, it seems good that you are not tooo available to her. Stay calm. Don't pursue. Don't jump when she beckons.

1. She missed me and cried a lot over Thanksgiving, because this is the death of so many dreams. Asked me what dreams I had that involved her.
- this is the first time since separation she's said anything like this
2. Do I really want to get back together and be "that couple", when everyone knows so much about our problems?
- it kills me that it would embarrass her at this point to get back together, but maybe the statement means she's thinking about it?

Dude, these seem like prime opportunities for you to really understand her feelings, really show empathy. Do not solve problems for her, just empathize. "Oh, I know, it's horrible feeling. Sometimes I feel that way, too"

Please try to not judge the feeling she has. "It kills me" you said. Try to just empathize, to just experience the feeling with her. She's feeling it, she needs you to recognize that feeling; validate that it is normal, ok, understandable.

Sorry, I haven't read all your thread, but if you ML, go to dinner, say ILU and she says ILU too, then .... why the D?
