<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

3.5 years ago: I would see this girl on campus everyday, but I was too chicken to talk to her. Without giving too many details (so I don't accidentally myself) we actually met through one very fateful event, and started spending a lot of time together. 

We had to part ways, though, because we were graduating and she had made very important plans that couldn't be changed to live somewhere far far away. 

She lives somewhat closer now, but still in a different city that is just far enough away to be an inconvenience to get to for a poor bastard that can't afford to lose his job. We've been in touch, even seen each other a couple times. One of these times I decided to sort of spill my guts, which I didn't feel went my way at all. I returned home heartbroken. Low and behold, SHE goes out of her way to see me again, but is still playing coy. 

Reddit, I beg of thee, how can I be like Ryan Gosling or John Cusack and win this girls heart once and for all. What are your suave tactics? HELP.
<bot>: I'm in love with a girl who is playing hard to get, and I need your help to win her heart.
