<human>: We live on separate continents. He lives in the UK, I live in North America. We are approx. a 14 hour plane ride a part. 

We talk on skype everyday, 8 hours a day with out fail. We talk without any pause, we laugh, we laugh so hard sometimes we cry. We tell each other things we haven't told other people. We do things, things people in relationships should do- watch movies, hang out (on games and skype, but still) and we even have phone sex. 

When we talked about us, we both agreed that it would be impossible and pointless to do a LDR, we didn't want to hold each other back. But now.. Its getting complicated.

Hes telling me things like how perfect I am for him, and I think hes perfect for me as well..How easy we get on and how if it wasn't for the distance we would be the real deal. Hearing things like this is hard... Its like saying, "I know I want to be with you, I think we're supposed to be together but we can't."

He's visiting here in about 5 months, we're supposed to see how things go but its just.. There going to go well, so what happens then?

 I know I can visit him during the winter, and I know in about a year I can move for school..I want to try and do a long distance relationship, even an OPEN long distance relationship. I don't care about who he fucks, honestly, I just want to know at the end of the day we are together. 

How can I approach this, or when should I bring it up? Or alternatively.. What should I do to stop myself from getting hurt when I'm starting to feel that fall for love?

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: Long distance friends who behave like couple but aren't a couple. I want to ask him to be in a LDR with me, willing to even have it be an open relationship. How/when should I approach it?
