Another “I Like This Guy” post

so i (27M) have been out of a LTR for about a year now. I was in it for 4 years for context and it ended pretty crazily. Long story short, I’ve been single for the last year. So Ive been out the game for a minute and it’s been an adjustment lol!

I’ve now been talking to a new guy. We matched on Tinder after me and my ex broke up but we didn’t actually meet until the end of last year. The connection was still unclear until we ended up going on a date last month. And now, I’ve made it clear that I’m really interested in him, and he is interested in me.

However, he just got an amazing offer and is moving back home (a few states away) and I’m stuck. We’ve spent so much time together in the last month and it felt pretty surreal. I don’t really want to lose that, but I don’t know how to communicate that and, with everything he has going on with getting ready to move, it also feels a little selfish of me to ask for clarification on that right now.

On one end of the coin, I think an LDR could work for me as something to work towards? I’ve never been in one, but I WFH and am free to travel at a moments notice. I do keep in mind that LDR doesn’t work for everyone.

On the other end of the coin, I do have to acknowledge that a month is, somewhat, a short time lol. I’d consider that we’ve been friends since November 2025, and started the romantic interest in March 2026. We didn’t hang out much between then either aside from group settings. So I can’t help but feel like I’m maybe gassing the whole thing up? I

I would just like advice on how to approach this. And if you’ve been in a situation like this, how did it work for you?
