 Hi! what a dillemma to be in,sounds like you really like this guy, to be honest unless your prepared to move away or he is, i can't really see this relationship working. I also feel the longer you leave it the harder it will become.
You obviously don't want to hurt him, so i would suggest you tell him how you feel, and suggest you just stay friends, and see how it all goes,who knows what the future holds.

I live in Phoenix, AZ and he lives in Lagrange Maine! I visited him in June, and he came here in September. We are talking about marriage and I am probably moving there in April. It has been very difficult! And as recently as tonight, as I talked to him, I began to cry. It's like torture being so far away from the one you love!
So, if you already know the obstacles and pitfalls of a LDR, then back off while you still can. It's difficult at my age, next to impossible at your age. I don't think I could've done it at your age!! I wish you luck no matter what you decide!
