<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

We dated for a couple of months. It was wonderful. He's everything I could have asked for: smart, funny, handsome, purposeful. Apparently there's nothing wrong with me either... except I had planned on leaving our college town at this time, and should have been moving out west right about now. He's had a lot of trouble with long distance before, and he wanted me to follow my dream of moving out west to pursue a career goal, so he broke it off early to avoid any pain later. I was devastated, because there was literally nothing wrong, and I'd hoped that, just for once, someone would take a chance on me. But it was the idea of distance that he couldn't overcome. 

He'd said he would be open to having coffee or going rock-climbing once we had some time apart, and I told him that if I contacted him it would be to ask him if he was still single. 

Well, six months have passed, and the job opportunity out west didn't pan out. I'm... actually not as upset about that as I thought I might be. It opened a door to staying here for another two years, getting a promotion and company-paid training at the professional level. He's here finishing his PhD. My contract/training will be up and his PhD will be done at the same time, now.  

Do I contact him and ask him if he's still single? We haven't spoken in six months, but I still feel the same way about him. I don't know if he's seen anyone else in the meantime, or if he's in a relationship, or if he's just forgotten me. If I do contact him, what do I say? 

For me, we clicked on every level, and I still feel like he ran away from me because it would only hurt more to be long-distance and be broken apart after binding together more. He said he went on a date every week through online dating for over a year before we met and he felt something. But is it too awkward now?
<bot>: Broke up 6 months ago because long-distance was a dealbreaker for him. Now I'm staying for exactly the length of time he will stay here. We both intend on moving out west eventually. Do I contact him?
