Offer submitted almost a MONTH ago with NOTHING

I submitted an offer for a SF almost a month ago and have heard nothing but 'We'll get back to you soon' from the seller's agent. I am wondering what her definition of 'soon' is...

It is for a conventional sale, not short sale or foreclosure. Basically, I am wondering what I should do at this point, whether I should put a deadline on the offer and risk losing the house if they seller finally decides to look at the offer 'soon' after I have retracted my offer or if I should just keep waiting and waiting not knowing how many offers this unresponsive seller has sitting on the table. I think that my offer is pretty strong, but it is starting to get on my nerves more than anything else as I am not desperate to buy the house, it just fits my criteria and is listed at a reasonable price. It has been on the market for almost 50 days now in a market that moves houses like this in a week or less.

Any feedback and advice would be appreciated!

Next time put an expiration date for your offer and you won't have to deal with this amateur behavior.
