Search Results: summer break

I went to my bf's pre-graduation dinner with his family tonight and after he drove me home we sat outside his car and talked for an hour about what we would do once he graduates. I hadn't wanted to talk about it before graduation, hadn't wanted to make him sad, but it quickly turned in that direction. In fact, I broke down in his car because he claims that high school relationships never last, and that he doesn't plan for ours to be any different. The fact that he's not willing to try long distance tells me that I like him way more than he likes me and it sucks that that's the case. On one hand I get it: he doesn't want to do the college high school thing only for us to fight all the time and things to end bad. But on the other hand I don't get it. Who says it has to end bad?
He wants to stay together through the summer but I just don't see the point. We just officially got together 2 months ago and I feel like the longer we talk the more attached I'll get. I told him that I was considering ending it now but he got so sad and it seemed like the last thing he wanted. So I'm sacrificing my happiness, it's going to hurt me more at the end of this summer, to save him the hurt now.
Tonight he asked me what I expected. That everyone goes into relationships expecting them to end. But I disagree, yeah there's a possibility, but it's not supposed to be a fact. If it is, maybe you shouldn't be in that relationship in the first place. It just makes me feel like he doesn't care that much, though he insists he does, and that he's just using me for experience before he goes off to college and finds a real girlfriend he plans to keep.

Is it mean to end things? Should I just hold out through the summer?

I've posted many questions on my situation, but to summarize I'm a HAM (hot ass mess) infatuated with her TA who is kind, protective of me, was there for me when I was carried to the ER for a concussion - offered to bring me supplies/was super worried/told me how to care for my wounds at home, who compliments my outfits, says "you look great", and tells me he cares about and believes in me. He tells me to get home safe on my bike, since I had the accident.

When he got an injury not long after, I got him pain killers and worried. Another time, through email, when he told me he was swamped with PHD stuff, I joked that I would help but would probably create more work for him. He "haha" 'd and said "no, you're sweet. thanks. :)".

He's super knowledgeable at what he does and super sexy, totally my type.

At our final tutoring sesh - last week Thursday, he told me to let him know if I ever need help next semester for this similar class I'm taking. He'll no longer be my TA.

Today was the final exam aka. last day I see him this semester. After the exam, I handed him a thank you/low-key love letter at the exit, he asked me how the exam went, then hugged me and told me to keep in touch and have a nice summer. I would have kissed him on the cheek but, you know, we were in the lecture hall. ;) He didn't hug any other student who was walking out... But maybe he just hugged me because I gave him a letter, I don't know. Since the last tutoring sesh, he keeps emphasizing how he wants me to keep in touch... Which I'm really happy about because he's willing to keep me around. Today he told me to reach out when I get back after the summer break.

Based on this (and, if you'd like, my previous posts), does he seem interested or just kind/thinks of me as a student?
