Background: We met over the summer and became fast friends. Since neither of us were looking for anything at the time, we entered a FWB arrangement. It worked pretty well. We had fun, got along, and got pretty close. I started falling for him. We didn't lose touch after he moved back to school (5 hours away). I felt comfortable enough to talk to him about my developing feelings because at one point he said he could see himself dating me. I thought, "What do I have to lose?"

After I told him, several things happened. He told me he had feelings for me, too, then everything kind of ended after he randomly got back together with his ex and didn't really tell me. We spent a few months apart, then got together again when we both ended up single with him being home for a long break. Once again, we built things up to where we both agreed we had feelings for each other. Even though he was away at school, we were in non-stop conversation every day. We spent an amazing spring break together. Spring break is ending and he's about to leave again. All he's said about something more serious is that we should just keep seeing where it goes since he feels an LDR would be too challenging emotionally. We agreed that we'd talk until this summer and see what happened when he came home.

Reddit, I ask you: Is this bullshit? I feel like I might be letting my feelings carry me and not seeing the big picture. Ever since he told me he liked me, then dropped me for his ex, I've had a bit of a trust issue when it comes to him. I really care for this guy. Really, really care for him and I would go through the the LDR thing with him. At the same time, if this sounds sketchy, I don't need it. I've given it a lot of thought, but all I end up at is, "I want to be with him." I don't want to be 'that girl'. I like to think of myself as generally level-headed, but this back-and-forth is blowing my mind a little. I feel like he's keeping me around until something better comes along.

We have mutual feelings, but
