I'm not in a full on relationship with this girl yet, but we've gone on multiple dates and both like each other. So, recently she started getting a bit distant and we went from texting almost all the time to once or twice a day tops. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but the sudden switch made me a bit concerned. Well, she recently told me that she got SA'd recently (around the time she slowed her communication with me). I of course told her that I'm there for her and that she's so strong and to please talk with people she can trust, and I thanked her for trusting me with that information, etc. She was very thankful for my words, but now I'm a bit conflicted on how to go about this. I am 100% okay with her not responding to me often; I can't imagine what she's going through right now, and I want her to take all the time she needs to heal. However, I'm confused on how I should text her from now on. She will typically text me back during the night, and from then we'll have a conversation about some random stuff. I don't want to just not check in on her in general and act like it didn't happen, but I also don't want to ask rhetorical questions like "how are you feeling?" when the answer is obviously that she is not doing well. I want to check in on her whenever we talk, but I don't want to practically give her flashbacks of having to re-experience that trauma by asking her how she's doing. At the same time, I don't want to just have a regular conversation without bringing it up and acting like it never even happened. I don't know, I'm just kind of confused on how I should go about this. My heart breaks for her, and she's going through something that no human should ever have to experience, and I just want her to heal. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
