<human>: Last year, I got to know this girl (let's call her Alice for now) since we visited the same course in college. Alice was nice, but we didn't talk much, since we never met outside lectures. A few weeks later a friend of her asked me over facebook to ask Alice out. It sounded nice and I was actually quite happy about the encouragement (wouldn't have done it without that). 

So I asked her out and we went to the cinema (might not have been the best choice), talked a bit on the way to the bus station. In the following days we wrote lot over Facebook, met several times, including the campus party. Then, after another movie visit I asked her if you could count that as a date (I know it was tactically horrible). After a short moment of silence, her answer was like "No, please banish that thought from your mind." then she got on the bus and was away.

It was not that I had a crush on her, but on the ride home I felt horribly alone and broke into tears. 

I wrote her a few days later, she apologized, saying, **not that she did not have interest in me, but she needed to take some time for me to gain her trust**. But then summer break came and we didn't see each other for two months plus, for some reason I didn't write her anymore. The next semester I hardly saw her, since I had to redo some lectures. Over the last 6 months only saw each other 2 times. 

Somehow I'd like to get back in contact with her, but I feel bad for keeping silent for so long. Also I really feel awful in front of her, since I had some serious motivation problems and haven't passed any exams in about a year while she is a very good student.

Actualy I don't even know what my actual problem is.

Summarize the given text in a few sentences.
<bot>: Met a nice girl, things got a bit awkward (nothing that involves body contact happened between us), haven't really spoken to her in  about 8 months, would like to get back in touch but don't know how.
