Getting back together

Long and complicated story...

Righto - started aaages ago. Liked this girl alot in school, flirted a bit, but never really had the chance to make it anything more serious (although this is almost certainly my fault - in the past now). I always felt she liked me back but nothing ever happened. She moved away about 2 years ago.

Recently I got here email address, and sent her a lovely valentines email explaining how I felt. She replied the next day seemingly missing the whole point of my email despite quite a long reply. Turns out she's half way across the world now, and will be for the next few months.

When I got the email I sent one right back... I probably should have handled it a bit more directly, but instead I just asked her how things were and how she managed to end up on the other side of the world....

Now I KNOW she has recieved this email... although she hasn't emailed back... leaving me with a number of options as I see it:

1) Take it slow, wait for her to email back...
2) Send an email asking why she hasn't emailed back - I'd probably do it in a slightly humerous way
3) Send an email asking her directly if she feels/felt the same way, and if she wants to meet up when she get's back
4) Book a ticket to fly out to meet her, missing a large amount of term, and a coursework deadline...
5) Something else...

Thoughts?

So wait a minute... you didn't see her for more than 2 years then decided all of a sudden you wanted to be with her?
You're almost as messed up as I am.

What was that exactly? That you had always liked her a lot? Did you make it clear you have kept on liking her? HAVE you kept on liking her?

If you did mention those things, and she didn't email back saying 'I feel the same way!', I think it's fair to assume that she doesn't feel the same way about you.

Sounds to me like the potential for something to happen was there 2 years ago but probably isn't any more. You should wait, don't e-mail her again, at least for quite a while. You probably don't want to seem lonely and desperate!

Right... so wait seems to be the thing to do...

But how long?
