Boy advice!!

Celeste ✨
I have been talking to a guy, Matthew, for almost two years. I live in Maryland while he lives in Ohio and we met online and plan on seeing each other next summer. We have snapchatted and facetimed so I know he's real 😂 I have had such strong feelings for him before and I have never been so attached to someone. However, I'm about to start my senior year of high school and I am having the biggest FOMO right now. When Matthew and I first started talking, I liked him a lot more than he liked me. I wanted to date him so badly, but he said to wait until we meet. He was talking to other girls and wasn't really ready for commitment. Now, he graduated and wants to be with just me but I'm not ready for that yet. I want to be able to talk to other people since I'm still single. I'm not feeling so strongly about Matthew like I was before, and I don't know if I can wait until I see him to be together. He isn't going to college and he doesn't have a job yet so realistically, I don't know how he's gonna save the money to drive/fly here and pay for a hotel. But whenever I bring that up he says not to get upset over it. I don't know what to do!! Should I wait another year for him and not talk to anyone else, even though it might not work out? Or should we just stay friends for now? (I can't just drop him, trust me I have tried that)
