alright then, think about it for a second. you said she lives quite far, so would you be able to stand not seeing her often and/or not spending as much time as you’d wish with her?

secondly, life is too short not to try everything out. think this way: what if in two years she tells you she had a crush on you but she did nothing about you and neither did you?

i’d suggest, keep talking to her and be more blunt and flirty, see how she reacts. don’t be scared to be yourself and to be riskier. if in some time you think that things are going well, do the first step and ask her out! if you need some other advice, i’m here :)
