Very depressed right now.

Now she has stopped replying to her text messages from me

I mean, you can't blame her. She did just get asked out by you. It depends on what type of girl she is. If you think she just needs room to conjure up her thoughts, then give her the benefit of the doubt and let her have some space for a while. However, if you think that she's doing this on purpose then this pretty much contradicts her words:

I love having you in my life

If she does love having you in her life, then she'll talk to you sometime soon. Don't assume that it's all avoidance. Maybe she just needs some room to think. If she DOES do it on purpose, then you should go up to her personally and then talk to her.

If she's giving you excuses, then just call her. Being able to hear her voice is better than stupid texting or something. Or just do it face to face.

If you're unsure whether she's avoiding you or not, then ask her what she thought when you asked her out. Express your feelings.

And some advice. Don't Ever Wait for Someone

Love is a very intricate thing. You can't just think that she was the one if you're waiting for her. Love should just flow naturally. I mean, yes you can impress someone, but you can't basically say "she's mine". Especially after 7 months. If you can prove to her that you're someone special then go for it. If you wait, then the chances are that someone will change their minds about stuff. I think you should had grown courage in the beginning and told her straight up. If you guys both liked each other then the emotions would just flow naturally.
