<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

alright. so here's the deal: i am in europe, he is in the states. we met online when he was in europe for a job interview, but didnt get a chance to meet then. we kept emailing - and we both felt a strange connection, we both felt what we had was special.. (blah).

over the course of the summer, we discussed meeting. long heartfelt emails were exchange. then out of the blue he backs away, saying something about "ties from the past he cant yet cut.." - so i break off all communication. (side note: meanwhile i book a get-away with my brother to the states)

then, out of the blue, 2 months later - he's back - as sweet and interested and affectionate as always. so we meet in the states. we talk, we do have dinner, we do random things, at one point we spend the night. it was magical. it really was.

now i am back in europe. so many things have been left unsaid, unspoken of. i am having trouble sleeping / eating.. im afraid to just ask him about all the things i need answers to, but i dont want to do it via email or whatsapp. as he is currently swamped with work i dont want to be annoying / nagging.. (or is this an excuse to dodge the inevitable bullet of rejection??) id be willing to try long distance. i want to make things work.

what would you do? what should i do? at this point, im desperate.
<bot>: we met online, then met in real life - now i need advice on how to proceed - is this worth giving a shot?
