Long distance - starting a relationship

Any one done it? I was friends with a guy for 6 months before he moved back to his home country to be with his girlfriend (they had done long distance a year) however she ended it just before he arrived back 🤦🏽‍♀️. I had work this week in his home country and stayed with him. We kissed and he took me for dinner. We are both very into each other, but after what happened the last time with long distance, he doesnt want to do it again. We are both 32 and looking for something serious. Hes got a house so wouldnt be moving. Do I suggest I go back over to stay with him for a longer amount of time, to get to know him? Or just leave it? I really like him.
