If you can't do long-distance, I don't think it matters what you say, she's going to be upset because she wants to try. It's not like she's happy just taking to you and having occasional sex, being laid back about things. She wants a serious relationship...at a distance. Sometimes you can't come out as a good guy...that's life. I think you should stay true to how you feel. I think long-distance is generally a bad idea. Only occasionally works out and it takes a lot of work...then when you get together things usually change and don't work anyway. I don't think its worth the trouble.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
