<human>: So a girl I considered an acquaintance a few months ago became a bigger part of my life when I joined the sports team she was the captain of, and eventually things progressed and we ended up dating, and becoming a rather intimate couple.

The thing is, during the 5 weeks we were going out, I was always going to be going to work in China. We both knew this, and had agreed that the relationship was 'temporary'. However feelings grew a lot faster than we both planned.

I genuinely like this girl, a lot, I don't know if I'd want to say love... maybe - but the point is my contract in China is a year long. And after this I'm hoping to get work in Australia or New Zealand, so that could be up to another year away. I have done a long distance relationship before (admittedly not Britain - China long, but long nevertheless) and I just don't want to go through that again. I should also say, that, whilst I don't want to sound like a dick, I want to 'live life' as it were. I want to experience other people, travel, and so on. If we were both in the UK then maybe, but as it is, it can't happen.

I also have the concern that I know this girl has suffered from depression before. I don't know exactly to what extent, I don't think there has been any self harm, but I cannot say this categorically. I just don't want to hurt her.

How can I break it to her that I don't want a relationship with her now, and that perhaps she should work on moving on.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: girl loves me, but I'm thousands of miles away. How do I tell her I just want to be friends, with making her depressed.
