I know you guys are tired of me posting about my loveless love life on here, so, sorry! But here's the thing..I don't know what to do (surprise!).

 

I've been friends with this dude, who is actually a coworker of mine, since about September. He's a great guy, and the only negative thing I can say about him (which many don't think is negative) is that he smokes weed, and I'm very against it unless it's for medical reasons. Everything else about him is great, and he's a great person. He is friends with my ex and all of our friends; except him and I are much closer, and he considers me one of his best friends at our job.

 

I knew soon after we met that I had a little crush on him. I remember telling my girl friend that I thought that I liked him (while I was still with my ex) but I didn't know what to do. I decided not to do anything about it, and as my relationship got stronger with my ex, my feelings for him died out completely.

 

This guy is the type of guy who will do anything for me, especially if I don't ask. Countless times he's given me money when I needed a couple extra bucks (even without asking) and has been there for me if I needed someone to talk to or someone to lift my spirits back up. Even if I'm in a bad mood and ignore him (which I sometimes do), that doesn't make him stop trying to be a good friend towards me.

 

Lately, the flirting has increased and there's been subtle hints from both of us that we are interested. He's asked me to go hang out with him a couple times since my ex and I broke up three weeks ago, which he never did when we were together. He's been making more comments and statements that point to the thought that he may like me

 

But, he's moving away in a couple of weeks to a city a couple of hours away, and when I found out about this the other day, I realized that I never stopped having feelings for him, and that I do really like him. It just hit me, the thought of him not being there, and it hurt and opened up my eyes to how I felt. I told him how upset I was that he was leaving, and to promise to come back and visit all the time, and he swore up and down that he would come back often since it's only a couple of hours away.

 

I really care about this guy, and I realize it now and I don't know what to do. He may like me back, he may not, I don't know. I also don't know if I'm willing to risk our friendship to find out, or my friendship with my ex. But..what if he does say something? Or makes a move, or I make one "accidentally"? Or should I just let him know how I feel? Even if it's not now, but wait a while and see how things go once he moves away?

After he moves would you want an LDR? For how long?
