<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

My best friend and I have been a "thing" for the last 5 or 6 months now. We're both seniors in college and we are in a sort of, friends with benefits situation, except we both have strong feelings for each other. 

The only reason we haven't taken the extra step to commit to each other is because after college plans. Not going into too much detail, but he is in the military now and plans on going into training/BUDs after graduation (off in California) other side of the country from us now, and I plan on taking a year off and then attending graduate school in the same area that we are now. 

The thing is, I'm totally OK with dating him. I mean, we are dating.. I guess it's not totally "official" and "exclusive" though he often tells me it's a serious relationship. All of our friends now we're together once again it's just not official. We are both on summer break and will be back at school in a little over a month but I don't know what to do with the situation. He is 100% set on leaving and going to cali after graduation, this has been a dream of his. Is it worth getting into a relationship with someone that's moving away and then joining the military with different possibilities there? Is it worth it? Is it worth possibly ruining our friendship with the new title? 
I ask Reddit because I need a new perspective. I don't think he wants to hurt me when he leaves and would rather not date just to break up at the end. 
Should I keep my options open? Am I essentially wasting my time?
<bot>: Unsure whether I should continue a relationship with someone that is ultimately moving away to join the navy even though we're best friends or if we should stay as we are.
