Definitely. I think your "I'd be open to it" response was fine, much better than something like "I'd do anything for you!"

My W recently invited me to her parent's house for V-day dinner...I typically work until 7 and she asked me if I could move some lessons around (I teach golf) to make it work. I have done that and will be having dinner with her, her parents and my brother in law and his GF.
Very interesting. If nothing else it shows you are doing some good DB'ing and she's starting to miss you. Doesn't mean you're out of the woods, but DB'ing is all about baby steps and that's a good one.

I've been good at GAL and not pursuing her...she texts me occasionally about random things and respond when I feel like it...should I not?
No you're doing fine. Sometimes reply right away, sometimes wait a few hours and sometimes (if it's nothing important) don't reply at all.

Her brother spent Saturday night hanging out with her - he doesn't seem to think there is another man involved and thinks she just wants her freedom as she's probably felt overwhelmed with life in general and that if I can just give her space right now that would be best course of action.
He sounds wise. Just be careful about talking to him about the R, because you can bet he's telling her everything about you too. So when you talk to him focus on your GAL, NOT on how much you miss W. What you want him telling her is "wow Jac is really getting out there and having some fun, you're really missing out."

I know she enjoys my massages so I was thinking of getting her a "Gift Card" for a massage from me for V-day as a flirty fun thing

NOPE! Last thing you want to do right now is break into pursuit because she will pull back hard. Do you know the squirrel analogy? It's like feeding a squirrel, you've got to hold perfectly still and let the squirrel approach you. If you make any moves at all the squirrel will go running up the tree and it starts all over again.
