<human>: I met this guy about two weeks ago and we've been on a few dates. He's really funny, handsome and we get along great.

I think I could see myself falling for this guy eventually but he's leaving the state for work and doesn't get back for a few months (I know it sounds like an escape line but he's a friend of a friend so I know he really does work out of state).

I'm not sure where this could go but I kind of want to see if there is anything there. 

Is it too soon to say I want to see him even when he's left the state? Can a long distance relationship actually work? and if so can they be formed straight off the bat?

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: Met a great guy. He's leaving the state for work in a few weeks. Can a long distance relationship work when you've only known someone a short time?
