Jun 25, 2019 at 6:53 comment added A beginner mathmatician @ Bill. Thank you for the hint. I am writing the details just to complete the argument. Following Bill, we have $X=X_n\oplus \tilde{X}_n$, $Y=Y_n\oplus \tilde{Y}_n$ (As dim $\tilde{X}_n$ & $\tilde{Y}_n$ finite, this is ok.) Let $\|\alpha_k-\beta_k\|\to 0,$ $\alpha_k\in X,\beta_k\in Y$ and $\alpha_k=t_k+s_k$ and $\beta_k=r_k+l_k$ chosen according to the decomposition. Since $\tilde{X}_n+\tilde{Y}_n$ is complemented in $X+Y$ we clearly have that $\|s_k-l_k\|\to 0.$ This establishes Bill's claim. Now choosing block basis is easy since we have freedom to cut off the series in $x_n$'s and $y_n$'s.
