Tell my friend I like her?

[guest]

Ok, here's the deal: There's this girl I've been interested in for a little over a year. More than interested, actually, i've never liked someone this much and broke up with my ex because of it. We've gone out a few times a long time ago, but stopped (not because we didn't like each other, and it was never serious, just a few dates). I'm pretty sure she's interested in me at the moment. We're good friends and chat online most days and txt everyday. I'd really like to ask her out again, seeing as how circumstances have changed from before.

 

So far so good.

 

The problem is we've both gone away to start new uni terms, and wont be able to see each other until the summer holidays. I'm pretty sure that if I asked her out now, she would, but, you know, 10 weeks is a long time. I'm trying to work out how i can keep her interested in me as best I can while we can't see each other.

 

I'm thinking about telling her I would like to go out with her once it's possible again, but I'm worried this seems pretty needy, and I think it's possible she could pick up on this. Do you guys think this is a good idea? If you think it is, please could you advise me on how to approach this conversation? If not, how do you think I could keep her interested while we're far away?

 

Thanks very much, I've messed this up once, don't want to again.
