But, all that being said, I can't see the alternative anymore. Let's just say I start reaching out a little more often... what does that do for me?
Give it a try and gauge the results. I think her wimpy response to your "happy birthday" text is an indication of what to expect, but you may need to push it further just for your own peace of mind. DB'ing is a set of recommendations, sometimes your heart leads you to do something anti-DB and it's up to you whether to pursue that or not. If it's keeping you up at night then I say go for it. The worst that can happen is you end up backsliding a bit, but if your sitch has been static for a while then it's not a bad idea to try and shake it up.

Well there is that, you really need to downplay any expectations of where it will go.
