So I met this guy about a month ago, we're in the talking stage. We haven't gone on an actual date yet but planned to. I like him a lot and he likes me but there's an obstacle. So recently he told me he's going off to the military in another state for 8 weeks in about a month or two. So I was like that's cool, and I asked if he was gonna end up coming back? Because I'm a little worried and never done long distance relationships before. He said he'll try to come back but he's not sure if he will because he's not sure where they'll send him after. So I decided to have a little discussion and express my feelings. I said I don't think I feel comfortable with moving things forward then and that we should both take time to think about this. Because why start a relationship with someone if they are planning to move away for a while but might not ever come back? I've never done long distance before but I don't think it'll suit me personally. Plus I definitely can't travel and stuff so that's a plus on why I'm skeptical. We wanna go on dates and stuff but I personally just don't see the point in starting that process if he's going away and might not ever come back? And my thing is, he's such a great guy, he's funny, sweet, patient, and just everything. He's a gem honestly, and it's been a longggggg time since I've actually liked and been into someone. My issue is not with him going to the military for 8 weeks, that's fine with me. The problem is wondering if he'll come back to me after. Because what if they decide to not have him come back? He told me he really likes me and wants me in his life. I'm just stressed out on what to do? I mean I told him if he does come back then yes we can continue but…idk, what should I do chat?
