Thanks for the advice guys, yeah I realize asking WAW is a bad move...it's just for nearly 20 years we've always gone and seen this band together...even met the band in person.

I convinced myself I was giving her space, but yet I was pinging her on a regular basis, finding reasons to contact her, finding ways to insert myself into her life, etc. etc.
Okay well I do want to once again state that during this ordeal, I did not ever contact her. So I did not do these things you mention above, never once e-mailed her, never once called her. This last time was the first time and it was only because of the threat of her committing suicide. However before that I never once initiated contact with her...it was always her each and every time. She even remarked on how that annoyed her, how she didn't seem to matter to me, that I never called or e-mailed, that it always had to be her that did or it was like she didn't exist to me. So I was very strict with NC throughout this ordeal, didn't pursue at all. This last encounter with her was where I screwed up by taking the bait hook, line, and sinker based on her words.
Yeah there's other girls I could ask to the concert. NC doesn't work if I am going to a concert with her, I realize this. A very stupid question for me to ask clearly. NC is what I will return to. For now, in NC I stay and if she moves to Florida at the end of September then I have decided that is when I will officially give up completely on her. At some point I have to give up because I won't last years and years alone waiting for her. I don't want to be alone, I'm not getting any younger, and I don't have years to wait for her if she's going to be moving so far away. So in my head and in my heart once she moves, that is when I am letting her go completely forever. I will then officially give up.
If I ever hear from her again or if anything else happens I will update you guys here. Thanks for taking the time to write your posts, I appreciate your time and insight.
