If there was a theme to all of the emails it was that he wasn't asking questions or returning the interest. They ran out of things to ask because it wasn't a conversation, more of an interrogation due to the nature of the correspondence.
I could lie and give you a happy ending to this, but I won't. He didn't take the advice and things continue continue on in the same pattern.
Right now she could very well be interested in you being she knows more about you. But you don't know much about her.
Maybe try something a little easier. When you see her, give her a nice smile and ask how how she is? . Her responses likely will give you questions to build off of.

When I was on dating sites this was, without fail, why I would stop corresponding with someone. Either that, or the email/text volley would just go onnnnnn and it's like, come on, are we going to meet or nah?
Anyway, point is, I second this. I can be a bit socially awkward with people I don't really know, so I understand it can be hard to get into the rhythm of asking follow up questions, and etc. I have a hard time discerning whether she's interested just from your posts, but friendships build interest, you know?
Do you like different kinds of coffee drinks, or do you stick to just one? If you want to try something new, ask what her favorite drink is to make, then ask her to make it for you so you can try it. Sounds silly, and I'm just throwing it out there, but hey, it sparks a conversation.
