Tricky ... she's responding to your light-hearted messages, but has kind of made it clear, for now, that she doesn't want to meet by not responding to those particular texts.

On the one hand you do say that she's a very forgiving person. Maybe she's had enough time to think this whole thing through and the distance created by you two no longer working in the same place may have helped give her a bit more space too.

It's a pity that she hasn't been receptive to your offer of meeting in the past.

Perhaps once she's processed all of this she may be in a better headspace to meet you.

Don't give up all hope on this friendship just yet.
