<human>: Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?

Hey RA,

just like my title says, I recently 'met' someone. Although I'd rather say 'got to know' because we knew of each other's existence but hadn't really talked. We hung out a lot for a few days in a group vacation type of deal.

In the past two weeks we spent about a week together and we seem to be liking each other very much.

The catch: In about one week he's leaving our hometown for one whole year to work 5000 miles away from here.
There's not really time and/or money for each of us to visit the other one in that year.

I would really love to see how things could pan out, but less than three weeks is so little time to really get to know the other person and so on.

Has anyone experienced this? What would you say is the best course of action to take in this situation? We really enjoy our time together and hate how unluckily this has happened.

I come to you just for input as I'm trying to wrap my head around how to handle this. So far I couldn't find any good conclusion to this dilemma.

Please let me have your collective wisdom!
<bot>: Meet dude three weeks ago. Hang out very often. Really like each other. One week from now he's leaving for a whole year. No chance for visits. Best way to handle this?
