<human>: I got out of a long (~2 years) relationship back sometime in March. Since then I've enjoyed the freedom of being single. I've been on dates with a few people since then, but nothing serious. I play video games a lot online, usually with some "internet friends" of mine. I met this one in particular almost a year ago.

We have a lot in common, I can talk to him for hours about *whatever*, and we complement each other well. We realized we both liked each other, discussed it a bit, but given that we're far apart (like, across the country far apart) and there wouldn't be an opportunity for us to be together in the upcoming years - going to different colleges in different states -- basically said, "oh well, that's too bad." Being together would mean one of us giving up our current plans as far as schools and careers go, and while if we had already been in a relationship for a while I might be willing to do something like that, it's very scary to imagine initiating a relationship by throwing everything else aside. 

But we still talk and do stuff online together, and it's hard to just bury what I'm feeling. We had another deep, touchy feely kind of conversation recently again and he asked if I love him. I asked if he really wanted an answer and he backed down. While I admire him more and more, *love* is a pretty serious word and I'm really not sure about it. But now I can't stop thinking about it. And him. 

He will probably be able to visit me in a few months, and I think that if we decided to really commit, seeing each other every few months would be doable. I'm just afraid to get into a relationship both due to the fact that I know something long distance will be very hard to do (my parents were in one, though, so I can't say it's impossible), and that this is a time in my life where freedom is important to me (due to age and my recent-ish breakup). However, I'm pretty enamored with this guy and I'm afraid to let this chance slip by because I was too afraid.

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: I like a guy. He likes me. We live far away from each other. Wondering if a long distance relationship is worth it.
