I can't really say if she'll be willing to meet halfway, haven't gotten that far yet. She did however travel 50 miles on her own, for me to pick her up for our function the other day. Which I guess was half way.
I really don't mind driving through every few weeks if I know our friendship warrants it. Where I get stuck is, how do I, not make a nuisance of myself while yet getting to know her better through the methods she doesn't like i.e. texting or calling.
When I tell people I dont like texting, calling, or using email.. it usually means I am not interested... in this day and age.. I cant forsee people not using any of those medians to communicate. What does she do? Smoke signals?
I think that if the drive is already going to be an issue and she's saying she will only do face-to-face, then you should contact her, tell her of your intentions, see if she even feels the same towards you then if so, agree on sharing the driving. Meaning, you drive to her, next time she drives to you. I personally am not a big fan of long distance relationshps but they seem to work for some.
The day I went through to meet her she told me about her brother who has been in a five year relationship and how she's comfortable being single at the moment ... all I'm interested in, at the moment, is getting to known her better. When I asked her to be my date, I told her I didn't want to just use her because I needed a date but that I saw it as an opportunity to actually meet her, to which she replied that she will be my date.
Do you mean telling her I want to get to known her better and see if we can become friends, then seeing how she replies?
Which opening to a, quick-just-to-say-hi, text is better?
"Hi, I suddenly thought of you. Hope all's well ..."
or
"Hi, our exams starts in a week, when do your's start? ..."
No, those are corny. I would text that you enjoyed spending time with her and ask if she would be interested in getting together again.
Sadly the cards are stacked against you as she bluntly told you she wanted to remain single, you live far away, and she does not like to text or talk on the phone.

Exactly....

I don't know if texting is the best way to ask her out. Call, use the opening line Lyra posted. She'll either say yes or no.
