What I was meaning is that she was acting differently with me and actually saying positive things about me to my friend. Seems like baby steps in the right direction.
Oh, yeah those do sound like decent baby steps. Espcially the part about her not trash-talking you to the friend. Just celebrate them internally and keep on with the DB'ing. If you're pulling back then she may be pursuing now, you have to be careful not to react too strongly or she will go back to distancing.
