Okay, so, the 8th was my birthday. It was quite an interesting day, several things went down that will aid me in the future that is my life. But the one thing that really got me somewhat confused (and I'm sure confused isn't the right word for the degree of thought involved) is that all the really insanely attractive girls that I knew when I still lived with my parents messaged me on facebook. Not just happy birthday on my wall, but pretty flirtatious comments in my chat box. To be fair, I'd never date most of them, of the 6 or 7 that I got messages from, I'd only date two EVER. But one I know won't ever date me, due to me being similar to a mix of her super high IQ stoner brother and one of her exes, the other one I knew was into me, we hung out and I tried to teach her CSS but we faded apart for a couple weeks. Now we're talking again, the latter girl mentioned and I, and she's still as flirty as ever. The problem, we never had time to do anything when I was within 15 miles of her and now I'm 150miles away from her and she's interested in me. Is there a way to make anything of this, not sure if she's interested in long distance relationship or if she's interested in coming down and visiting, but one thing that's not going too happen is that I'm not going to be driving back up to my region a couple times a month to see her, I can't afford that.

She's really hot, has a really interesting sense of humor, and is generally intelligent. And she's hot. I mean that's not the biggest thing, but it is pretty big.

Flame me for having standards, go ahead a try, I'm calling you out you feminists.
Now bite me.

Do whatever you want man no point in beating around the bush. I would get on Facebook and ask if she wants to get together sometime, surely you can afford one trip up there?

Already did. Told her to let me know when she's in my area, clear invitation to come down if you ask me.

I'd interpret that as a standard courtesy -- when I or my friends say that, it's true but relatively rare that it actually gets acted on without a further, more explicit invite.

Most of the birthday messages that were written on my wall where from chicks I know, some whom I almost never talk to, but that doesn't mean that they all want to sleep with me (though I'm pretty certain that quite a few do). Girls just love birthdays.

Anyhow, girls can find it easier to be flirtatious over text rather than in person. They're less nervous when you're not standing in front of them plus if things get real awkward they can just close the window and stop talking.

I'll explicitly render what Iota's implicit advice is (as well as mine): take a stronger initiative! Since you've already been actively passive about it, wait a week and then casually mention how you'll be in town (yes, that means you have to drag yourself there) and ask her if she wants to grab coffee/drinks/your pick.

So you both couldn't get anything to happen when you were side by side, but now that you are miles apart it is all possible?

She is using you for personal validation so she can feel better about her relationship with people in her current network.
