So there's this girl I like...?

You may try it though. Why don't you compromise to each other that you will try not loose your communication (chat,emails etc) but if ever you find someone else (both parties), just let each of you know. Who know's this will work. If you really like her, whether it's near or far, you'll stick to her and so she is to you.Only time can tell if you really are meant to be. Hope this will help.
