For hurtinhartford: I'd think e-mailing weekly would be chasing; how about concentrating on the birthday greeting and making that into something unexpected - the kind of card or small gift she'd like but you'd never have bought in your past life together, something she'd not expect from you? Not romantic, but showing that you remember her tastes - as a friend. Good luck anyway. NotCrackingUp
