I sense that she will not be the one to pursue you forever
Of course not. She would be broken if she did
At the end of it all, it's a dance. Distance/pursue. Rinse. Repeat.
The end all question if is you'll dance together or not. I dare say, it's likely you will. Long way to go and all that, but way more likely than say, a month ago. When I say dance together, I really mean will you work through the thing we call 'life' together or apart. That's really the question and has been all along, right? Because there will always be highs and lows for you both and together. Always.
Nice job on the kiss Cali. Snuck that one in there, yeah? But honestly, doing it because you wanted to was honest and forthright and sends the message that you're working on it and want to work on the relationship. Nice job on being honest both with yourself and her about your feelings.
You have learned your lessons to date. I'm sure there's more, but you're ready to handle them
