I need so much help! I’m begging you guysss

This guy and I both really like and care for each other. He doesn’t realistically think we will ever date as we live far away but he wants to keep talking because he enjoys my company and wants to experience it even if it’s not gonna go anywhere.

For me, I want to keep talking to him in the hopes that eventually we will date. I don’t want to keep talking to him and keep growing feels when it won’t ever go anywhere. But it’s hard to stop talking to him and I feel like I would regret stopping.

I told him this and one of the things he asked was “why does it have to turn into this big thing”. He also said we can just see where things go and whatever happens happens.

He thinks that if we enjoy talking to each other, why stop?

He says he doesn’t think into the future like I do, he lives in the present more instead.

Basically I would like a relationship now if I find the right person. And I thought/ think I did with him. But now I’m just realizing that we might not be in the same head space? Like he’s open for anything to happen so it’s not like he isn’t ready for a relationship or anything.

Idk I’m so confused. He’s genuinely a nice guy and that is extremely hard to find in most people and Part of me doesn’t want to stop talking before seeing where this goes.

Maybe it will die out naturally(🤞🏻) , maybe one of us will find someone else we like and date them (we both said it was okay to talk with other people but both said atm we don’t want to look or talk w other people. We deadass act like we are dating already) , or maybe the slim chance we end up dating (🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻)

I need to stop rambling. Thank you to anyone who reads all this.
