How do I ensure a relationship with this guy?

Anonymous

I've been IN LOVE with this guy since high school. He really is a great person. We started hooking up when I was about to be a senior in high school and he was going back to college. We always had an amazing time together, but I went to college in Florida and he was in the Northeast and he ended up working in the city while I was still in college. We'd see each other on holidays and random weekends over the years when we were in the same place. It's always a great time and we really connect, but then we don't talk for months at a time. It's horrible.

Now I am finally graduating and moving to the city in May and I'm ready to be with him. I was visiting this weekend and I saw him and we went out, had a drink and slept together. We had a great time (again) and I was trying to hint at it that I wanted to be with him when I move down here. He said that all of his friends know he sees me and he always introduces me to everyone. I told him not to get another girlfriend and to wait for me and he said he would. I also said that we needed to communicate more and we can't just not talk for another 3 months. He texted me yesterday afternoon saying he had a lot of fun and I said "see u in a few months:)" and he didn't answer. I just want to know how to know if this guy will seriously date me when I move close to him or if I should prepare to be let down. I feel like we've always had a great time spending time together over the years, but I wonder if he'd actually date me. I don't know how to find out. He's older than me so I'm not close with his friends and that's such a hard question to ask a guy without being desperate. What do I do?
