I like this girl so much, I have no idea what she is thinking. Please Help!

I have known this girl since I was in 8th-grade. We went to the same school until we both went to different colleges. She went to college a year before me because she is a year older than me. We were never romantic with each other and just friends until my junior year of high school. I had just gotten out of a year long relationship with someone else when she started flirting with me. She continued to flirt with me and tried to get me to feel the same way the entire year. I did really like this girl and I thought she was gorgeous, but nothing ever happened for a couple reasons. The main reason though was that we went to a small school and that she was a year older than me. I felt like she was liking me just to like someone and that she would find someone much better than me in college (I realize now that this was a very naive way to think). Once junior year ended, I realized I took her for granted and how much our relationship meant to me. I didn't realise that I looked forward to seeing and talking to her every day. Once she left for college, being apart from her really put how I felt for her in perspective. I began to really really like her, but we were never able to spend much time that summer together because of our busy schedules. She had left for a college that is 2 hours away from where I lived and we starting talking less and less until not at all. Even though we stopped talking, I never stopped having a thing for her. I had a great senior year, but I was constantly and quietly regretting that I let a girl like her slip away. We started talking again during the summer after I graduated. We would constantly text eachother and we would hang out sometimes, but our busy schedules once again prevented us from spending a large amount of time with eachother. I thought that we were just going to be good friends like we were before, but she started to give me many indications that she had feelings for me again.

 

Flash forward a little bit to now. I am a freshman at a college 4 hours away from her's. We have been talking for a while through texting, snap chat, etc.. Recently she has been playing hot and cold with me. She will flirt with me and then she will not respond to me for a long time and act uninterested. Recently I asked her to go to a concert with me and she replied immediately with "I would love to!" and started asking about all the details. I gave her the details soon afterward and she then didn't respond. I saw that she was active on social media and began to wonder if she was ignoring me. This was odd because we had been texting back and forth to one another several times a day for a couple months. I waited for two days and then asked her if she "still wanted to try to go to the concert?" She replied soon after that April (the month the concert is happening) is a really busy month for her and she doesn't know if she would be able to go. I replied that it was fine and I told her to let me know if she figures out her schedule for that month. She has not talked to me since then, but that was yesterday.

 

I'm looking for any advice on how to handle this situation. I really like this girl and I can't stop thinking about her. We really get along well and we are a lot alike. She has told me before, in general, that she is ok with the idea of a long distance relationship. I really do not want to give up on this girl. If anyone could help me with what she may be thinking or what I should do, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Dose she know you want a dating situation or does she think you just want friend-like hang outs? Do you know if she has a bf? Have you offered to go visit her?

It is often implied when we are talking that I want a dating situation with her. but I have never come right out and said it. She is a smart girl who can read between the lines very well. After asking her to go to the concert I think it verified for her that I like her.

 

She does not have a boyfriend and has not had one since going to college. Also, we have talked about visiting each other, but have never given set dates to when we will.

If everything is implied and no visits are planned how is she supposed to know you're interested?
