long distance

i met someone through online, he lives in another state. (my friends and i have done a lot of digging and know he’s a real person and i have also ft him so HE IS NOT FAKE.) the state he lives in is actually where i’m moving for college. we have both said we want a relationship in the future... college is less than a year away and right now me and him are like an off again on again relationship. so please give me some tips, advice, and if you think i should make an effort into having something with him. thank you ladies :)
