"So, now that the pressure is off and she knows that she's getting what she wants, it's like she's more open to a friendship. Is this ironic or what?"
No. It's what's supposed to happen. If you still want to save your M, I would suggest you ramp up the GAL. And when you're around her brag about it and just be genuinely happy. As if you just had a weight taken off of you. I wouldn't be surprised if you found someone else, that she starts getting a little jealous. But do it slowly and one step at a time. Show no signs of pursuit.
