Got a thing for a girl, and my chances may be good, but she lives 4 hours away.

How do I deal with this? So there's this girl I worked with last summer. We didn't work closely, in fact, we were in two different departments, but we talked whenever we could, we texted every so often, blah, blah, blah. Needless to say, I began to develop some feelings for her, but it was a while before I could work up the nerve to ask her to a movie or something. By that time, she was to leave for a two-week trip to Texas the following day, so things didn't work out. Her response, on the other hand was a smile and "well, you should have asked earlier." Or "sooner," something like that.

We're both college students, but she goes to a school 4 hours away from me, so I had kind of given up and decided to move on, but the feelings I had kind of stuck

So the other morning, I woke up with her on my mind. I didn't sweat it too much, I figured it would fade, but it didn't. I went to work, and then, out of no where, there she was, greeting me rather enthusiastically. For the rest of her time in the store, every time she would walk past my department, she would be looking my way. Anytime she would be walking through the shelves, even from 100 feet (maybe 50 :P) she would be looking.

We haven't talked since the summer, so I'm not entirely sure what would be appropriate in this situation, but I think my chances are pretty good.

I'm 20, but the fact of the matter is, I'm out of practice. I haven't dated since my freshman year of high school, and I'm a sophomore in college now.

So what do you all think? How should I handle this? Because at this point, I've determined she's worth my time, and the extra gas money (luckily, when she's home, she's only 20 minutes away from where I live). Should I ask her to lunch when she comes home for Christmas? Movies don't seem like a good idea, since we'd spend most of our time together in a dark room, trying to concentrate on the screen...

Or should I get a hold of her right now, and express my eternal love and commitment to her?

That's a joke, by the way.

But seriously.

One friend had actually recommended that I do some sneaking around and find out what her schedule is, then just drop in.

So again, what do you all think?
Forgot to mention that she IS single, and has been for as long as I've known her.
