ok
here is my story

i(23) meet a girl(26) 4 months ago we went out a couple of times
and also i spent the night at her house most of those times(9 or 10 times). but i haven't seen her since last halloween party. we still talk on the phone every other day and stuff but lately since we live about 1 hour away drive from each other we can't see much. even though i know she likes me a lot still and i like her a lot to something is not going right is like something is stopping her or me to take it to the next step(official boyfriend). sometimes i think that the faq that she live by her self and is looking for a job(for about 3 month) don't let her concentrate in me. sometimes i say forget it i'm not calling her no more but then i try putting my self in her shoes and don't see me acting any better than that after not working for about 3 or 4 month.
my friends tell me why i'm with (kind of)her when thare are a lot of girls than want to be with me.
the true is i was a player before but now i'm a grown man and i don't want to hurt any more girls or loose this one.

Does the age difference have anything to do with it?

Should i keep trying to make this work or walk away from it?

tell anything that could help or whatever
