Should I text my ex bestie back?

Anonymous

Had been best friends for 8 years. After me confiding in her I had experimented with being bi-curious, she got very upset and said she needed space to process. It has been just over three months and she basically hasn’t talked to me except for once when I asked if we could just talk it out. It resulted in a short text conversation where she tried to grill me to see if I was still involved with any of those activities but still stopped responding and hasn’t made any further attempts to talk about things or mend our friendship.

Sometimes I just feel like I’ve had enough. Since I moved 45 minutes away, tbh as friends we weren’t even talking much or seeing one another like we were. I started looking at my social media and thinking “we’re friends on these apps, but it’s fake. She’s not my friend anymore—she won’t even talk to me.” After thinking for a minute I decided to delete her off my social media. Oddly enough, she texts me this evening asking how I’m doing. Have I wanted her to reach out? For sure. But I’m puzzled at this point if it’s a sincere attempt to reconcile or just a test to see if I’ve also blocked her from texting me. Should I respond or just act like I never got it? I don’t wanna be that person that’s unwilling to budge if deleting her is what it took to change her mind, but I also don’t wanna be sucked into the trap of thinking she cares if she really doesn’t. Thoughts?
