Love, distance and effort.

I recently fell in love with a girl who was moving away (1 1/2 drive I don't think it's that far) and although we had hooked up before she moved and have seen each other at least once a week since(it's been about a month) she's not sure she wants to start anything because of the distance and she's never really had a serious boyfriend before, I'm crazy about her And I think about her all the time, I surprised her on valentines day with a picnic and flowers. I make her gifts and when we speak it's great. But if I ever ask her what we are she gets upset and confused :( shes told me she likes me she just doesn't know how she feels she's always been alone.
I guess what I'm asking is, do you think I'm wasting my time here? Has anyone else had this happen? And am I going about this the right way? Is it normal to feel this way?
