<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

First and foremost, this could potentially be a very long post. But I will keep it short and to the point. I've been in contact with the same girl since May of this year. We met and things went really well in the beginning, but I had already planned out the entire summer (traveling) so we didn't see each other for 2 months. We kept in touch anyways, talked almost daily and were both eager to picks things up where we left off. 

I got back in August and then we couldn't really seem to make it work, we live 70 minutes away from each other, we both work full time, I work office hours, she works in a cafeteria so it can be whenever, then one of her grandparents got hospitalized so she spent a lot of time there, but when that settled down we met again, but now we haven't been able to meet for two weeks. 

We haven't talked at all in a week, until she wrote me today: "Hello cutie, I'm sorry for not contacting you in a while, I've been sick and I've been sleeping all the time." 

Now I'm in this position that I don't know what to do. She seems great and if we ever got in to a realtionship it would probably be really good, with minimum conflict, but I mean, meeting once per month is not nearly enough for me. I don't want to make an ultimatum either, like : "Either we meet more often or we don't meet at all" 

There have been so much reasons from her part why she can't meet me (work, family, grandparent, sickness, other plans) etc. And then I always get an apology text after a while. 

What should I do? I don't have any other dating prospects right now, but it feels weird to have this feeling that "things need to be different than this in order for me to be happy". What would you do in my situation?
<bot>: I have had contact with a girl since may but we have been unable to meet on a regular basis and I'm starting to give up.
