Does anyone have any experience with the “let’s keep in touch and if we meet again in the future we will reevaluate the relationship”?

There was a girl I dated very briefly but the timing didn't work out. We knew that we would be in the same city again in two years.

We kept in touch, texting pretty often (not daily, but more than weekly), but nothing romantic. I would say that during that time she was one of my closest friends. Definitely closer than when we'd been dating. I want to emphasize that nothing romantic ever came up; no one was stringing anyone along, no one was holding a candle for anyone.

After we got back to the same place and settled in, I asked to pick things up again. She said no and then stopped returning my texts.

If it happens, it happens. But I wouldn't have any hope or expectations.
