So close to reuniting but can't break through.

You should not bring it up, but it sounds like she brings it up enough to get some words in. Ask her what's more important - her friends' opinions or her own? DO NOT ask her if your R is more important than her friends, that will lose her. Possibly she could try to influence her friends' opinions? If her friends have reasons/excuses to not like you try eliminating them. Of course you can't change the past but you can change the present/future. This includes your present/future, not your W's, but changing you is what changes your W's perception of you. Also don't chase her down, pursuing is one of the biggest turn-offs, but it does seem that since she's at least to a certain point you could try doing little things and flirting once in a while, just don't come across as desperate.
