TLDR Previous history -

Night game a year ago. But then same night I went home with another girl and I think she saw. Obviously upset.
She followed me for months on end but never responded to my texts mroe than one word so obviously salty.
Re engaged recently, my first text was "u always this talkative" bevause she was still giving one word replies.
My idea here was to mention volunteering, then that I am working on my own business and am my own boss to demonstrate dhv.
Thiughts?

To be clear :-
Opened with some random story comment,
She gave 1 word replies
Asked you always this talkative
She said sometimes
"Lets begin the other times then"
Then she finally asked me a question now.
