I really like this guy but he’s about to move soon. Should I keep talking to him or just be friends?

Me and this guy met at our place of work and we started seeing each other for over a month now and spent a lot of time together. We’re both in the military and he’s about to get out soon and wants to move outside of the state. When I asked him where he seen this going, he was saying that it’s complicated for him and how he has a lot going on. And he said that he likes me but thought about how it’s going to be when he leaves. He also said he can’t do LDR because he got played and hurt in the past. He then asked if I still wanted to keep talking to him or just be friends. I told him that I would need some time to think about it. Part of me does really like him but the other part is saying that it might not work out. What should I do?

It sounds like you're in a difficult situation, and it's understandable that you're feeling conflicted about what to do. Ultimately, the decision of whether to continue talking to this guy or just be friends is a personal one that only you can make.

That being said, it's important to consider the potential outcomes of each choice. If you choose to continue talking to him, it's possible that you may develop deeper feelings for him and have a difficult time when he eventually moves away. On the other hand, if you choose to just be friends, you may miss out on the opportunity to explore a potential relationship with someone you really like.

It's also important to consider what you want and what you're willing to compromise on. If you're not interested in a long-distance relationship and he's not willing to do one, then it may be best to just be friends. However, if you're willing to try a long-distance relationship and he's also willing to consider it, then it may be worth continuing to talk and see where things go.

The most important thing is to be honest with yourself and with him about your feelings and what you want. If you decide to continue talking to him, make sure to communicate openly and set clear expectations about what you both want from the relationship. If you decide to just be friends, it's important to respect each other's boundaries and maintain a healthy friendship.
