Long distance relationship

So this guy and I been talking and dating for 7 months.

We’re not together but we clearly do everything together. We have a really good connection. Like we have a lot in common. We just haven’t put a title on it yet.

He already lives an hour away which isn’t bad usually when we see each other it’s every other weekend. And we spend 3 days together. Or we will plan a trip. Last time we spent a week together out of state. I do have my own son that I get every other weekend also. He has met my son and he adores him.

He always asks about him and sometimes even brings him up in our conversations first. Which I love. Like his own father doesn’t Even do that.

My son is two and he tries really hard to care an love my son right along with me.

Now this would be my second relationship ever besides the father of my child.

I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing here.

I don’t have options as everyone said I should have. I just really only talk to him.

This guy he always expresses how he loves me and he wants to start a life with me. Like he would marry me right now if we both were in a good spot.

Now his dad is kinda sick and his father lives in California. We are in Fl.

He wants to move to help his dad. While he’s gone he wants to go back to school and work and save money.

But he also mentioned that he didn’t want me to move on as he wouldn’t be moving on either.

He wants to be with me in the long run but he also said he wants to take this opportunity so he can grow and become the right man for me while caring for his dad.

He wants to provide for us and ect. He said the maximum he would stay is a year to help his dad and get right himself and come back.

I told him I will and I won’t move on. We agreed to do this together and challenge each other.

I’ll be moving 3 hours away from my home town to be with my cousin and get back into nursing school and just save.

How did long distance relationships work for you guys ?

A part me feel like dang should I? But I’ve never meet a guy I connected so much with and was so comfortable with. I’ve known my baby’s father for 4 years and I never felt so loved an cares for like I do with this guy.

It’s strange how comfortable im with him and I was never this comfortable with my baby’s father !

Any advice ?? Tips or some sort ...
