<human>: I met this guy while abroad in 2010. We had a brief fling and then parted ways when I returned back to the states. A year later, I got an opportunity to return to his country; we talked about getting back together but he met somebody while on vacation and proceeded to have a 2 year LDR with her (while I was living in his town). Despite this, we became very good friends, though I admittedly always wished for more. I returned back to the US (once again) in 2013, and he broke up with his girlfriend last summer (2014). Since then our friendship grew stronger and yesterday I finally told him that I have feelings for him and want to be together officially (he is hoping to attend grad school in the US, i have been helping him with applications). He declined, saying that he is not ready to be in a LDR with me and would want to test "us" out first (in person) before committing. He also refuses to come visit me (or vice versa) because he thinks that would complicate the situation due to visits being temporary. He said if we ever ended up in the same place, he would consider giving "us" a go. 

In the meantime, he wants to keep being close. I just don't feel like I am able to do that....I feel crushed by his rejection. Our friendship, as it stands right now, is also unbalanced in other ways, as I spend a lot of time editing his papers, and helping him with applications and he does not do anything much of anything for me, besides responding to my texts and asking me how i'm doing when he doesn't hear from me. I suppose I was looking for commitment by him to offset this imbalance, but alas that is not to be. 

Is it immature of me to cut all contact with him?

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: Friend rejected my request for an LDR, debating on whether it is right of me to drop a 5 year long friendship because of this.
