Does the clock on dating resumes?

OK let me elaborate more

So I know this girl since 2017 that I really liked, told her that I liked her, asked her out on a date, she said yes.

Due to our schedule tho we have been busy. She is mostly awake on the evening and asleep on the morning and I'm the opposite.

Since our schedule is different, our communication was not constant anymore and we just fell off. It appeared that I " ghosted " her

This 2022 however, I got back in touch and apologized to her again then asked her out on a date again and she said yes.

Thus the question. Would you call this dating for more than 5 years now or not.
