A friend of mine came online on MSN saying this girl needed help with something related to iTunes. It was something really minor and easy. I managed to help her out and she thanked me. Later, I happened to meet her and she was very sweet. We spoke a bit and added her to MSN. I also managed to get her phone number. We spoke 3-4 times over MSN for roughly an hour each time maybe.
She happens to be good friends with some of my old school friends and they hang out a lot together. Those old school friends were really good friends with me in school because we played a lot of soccer together. Just recently I invited her friends (and mine) to my birthday dinner. I speak to them a lot online because they aren't in my college, and we've met up a couple of times so we're in touch.
I know some of the things she likes and dislikes and I've made her laugh a few times. We have a few things in common as well, like reading for instance. I was going to ask her out but before I did so, I confided in one of my friends, a guy who is her good friend. He told me she was seeing another guy, but it was a long distance relationship. And by long distance I mean two different countries altogether. I tried to get her out of my head, but I can't seem to. I feel I might still have a chance, so I'd like your advice on what I could possibly do.
Another thing is that I've never called her, just did a lot of texting (she doesn't like talking on the phone much she claims) and IMing. Recently though she hasn't been coming online on MSN and its been more than a month. She's had exams and so have I but they were at different times. I texted her a few times to wish her well in her exams and that was about it.
Any opinions?
