<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

So I am a 21 year old guy that goes to college out of state from home, I come home a few times a year to help my parents run the restaurant that my family owns. For three years now I've worked with this girl there that I have always had an interest in, and only this year have I realized that she may be interested as well. I really like her and would really like to have things kick off and become, lets say "official". Here's my problem, I'm not the type to look for summer flings or one time hook-ups, and have always had semi long term relationships whenever these things happen. I feel like if I put in the work it could turn into a long term and lasting relationship, but I don't know if I feel comfortable with myself asking her to wait for me while I'm away at college (the difference here is home in Illinois, school in Florida). I've always been a sentimental type and people have told me that I worry too much about others and not enough about myself. We have been on a few casual dates, movies, dinners, what have you, and tend to end up texting late into the night. So my question to you is, should I go ahead and try to pursue this, even though I know I wont always be there? Or should I just go ahead and "suffer" for a while and wait for the feelings to dissipate...either way I feel like an asshole. And the worst part is, I have never been to talented in the ways of Woman Fu to trust my own judgment on these issues. And I haven't been able to make myself confront her about either side of the issue...
<bot>: I go to school 1,200 miles from home and really like a girl there, but don't feel right about trying to pursue a relationship.
