Having a problem

[Supernaut]

So, there is this girl I've had a crush on for some time. She's in the same school as I am, but I've been too shy to talk to her. Couple of weeks ago I was drinking with my friends at their home, and one of our friends was about to come there, and I damn near had a heart attack when I saw that she came with the girl I've had a crush on. BUT being the shy idiot I am, I was too afraid to talk to her too much.
Well, the next day I thought that there was my chance and I ****ed up, but then I saw that she had sent me a friend request on facebook. I accepted it and I got to know her a little bit. I found out that our music taste is quite similar etc.
Then the next weekend I was drinking (again) at my other friend's house and there was some others too. So, out of nowhere she appears there again. This time I told myself that I will rip my own head off if I don't talk to here. But, to my surprise, she comes to me and says hi. I say hi and we chat for a short time. During the evening/night we get to know each other better. At that time I thought I must be the luckiest guy in the world. Later on the night, many people had already left, and I, the girl and one of our friends are sitting outside and chatting. I guess it was all too good to be true, because suddenly our friend asks her something like "how's things going with the guy in Rovaniemi?" (Rovaniemi is a city in northern Finland, we live in Southern Finland so the distance is quite long.) I don't remember too clearly, but she answered something like "I live so far away from him. It just feels pointless. I don't know if I should tell him I like him. He may have noticed it already, but I don't if I should talk to him."
To me it felt like a punch in the face. Now I don't know what I should do. I want to tell her that I like her, but on the other hand I don't want to be an asshole and confuse her even more if she's already having big things to think about.

If you like her, tell her. Don't worry about any other potentials right now, especially if they are just potentials. No risk, no reward, right?

Good luck.
