short version:
- we liked each other at the beginning of the school year but he also had another girl that he liked except she was "long distance"
- he ended up hooking up with other girl at party and then dating her shortly after, turns out the long distance was 30min
- we were still close friends but didn't talk as much as before but still friends
- they broke up around three months ago.. got back together and then broke up again so now he's single
- around 2 weeks ago i was at a party and he was semi-tipsy and started confessing to me about how he's never truely gotten over me, we could have so much fun, he really likes me still etc etc
- we've been talking a lot recently and hung out alone a couple times where he tried to kiss me MANY times but i had to stop him
- messages me and keeps insisting he really really likes me and i should reconsider, my close girlfriends who talk to him tell me he's legit and not bs-ing me
- right now i am going away for 3 weeks for break and he's basically waiting for me because i told him "we'll see" when i get back

Right now i'm considering trying it out again but the problems are
1) I have ap exams in early may so i won't have much time to hang out or whatever before then
2) school ends at the end of june and then i'm going to be in china for two months so pretty much if we start anything it'll only last around 2 ish months at most...

What should i do? i've already told him i wanted to be his good friend a couple times but hasn't stopped trying so now i'm starting to give in... idk if it's because i kind of like him again or that i just love hanging out and talking to him.. but at least i have three weeks to make a decision

Edit:

thanks for the feedback everyone..
my description does make him seem like a jerk but he is a good person and one of the few guys i know who doesn't "plays" girls.. you know the type
idk the thing is i don't want it be end bad or w/e because we're most likely going to the same university in September and even if we don't date i still want to be his close friend because i really do love being around him so any pinkberry move on my part would basically kill that and it's not what i'm going for.

as for the whole waiting for me in china part i doubt that's going to happen... he says relationships are overrated and i think he's mostly just looking to have fun with me for the rest of the year.. idk told me something like "there shouldn't be a label to being faithful and each other" type thing..
i know if i do end up dating him it'll probably just be for fun and what one of you said "a convenience crush" and if we do end up developing stronger feelings then i guess continuing in September is always an option

Do you want to date him? If you do, then you should give it a try.

[Seraphyx]

If you are willing to give it a try, then go for it. It would just be terrible if you guys "clicked" and then had to endure a long distance relationship. I doubt a relationship of 2 months would be successful when transformed into a long distance relationship. Anyways, if you want to try dating him, then go for it. I'm just going lay out the cards on the table and say that you have probably a no chance of a long distance relationship. Is two months worth it?

You should tell him
"Right now i'm considering trying it out again but the problems are
1) I have ap exams in early may so i won't have much time to hang out or whatever before then
2) school ends at the end of june and then i'm going to be in china for two months so pretty much if we start anything it'll only last around 2 ish months at most..."

And see if he's willing to wait. If you truly want to date him.

1. if you dont go for it it could be "little too late"
2. you're going to be the long distance girl when youre in china. for 2 months!!
3. education should ALWAYS be first.
4. dont be his rebound girl. you dont want to keep listening to his sh*t about his old gf. once talked about that subject it goes ON & ON trust me.
5. his relationships seems wishy washy and if you date him you *might* not have a stable relationship.

He seems like a flake when it comes to relationships=/
And do u still like him? Cuz if not he seems like a "convenience crush". Like a guy likes you and although hes not the "ideal" type for u or anything you start having feelings for him because hes there and the risk for rejection is low and hes someone u can be with so ur not lonely and that kind of thing. This happened to me and I gave in and he turned out to be a waste of a summer cuz the initial attraction I thought I had faded pretty quickly cuz it wasnt genuine.
And I agree with what aother people said before. If you tell him about all your plans and he still wants to wait then maybe he's ok. But like u mentioned before his "long distance relationship" was like half an hour away so I dunno if hes willing to wait 2 months while ur in china.
Like I said he seems like a total flake but your description doesnt say how he really is so maybe its just biased? Im not going to make a judgement but thats what it seems like

If you want to date him, then you should.
If you don't want to date him, then you shouldn't.

I'm really curious as to why people ask if they should date so-and-so. It just shows uncertainty and doesn't seem like you're ready. A date is a date, you can easily break it off and the government won't know.

that's true.. but i would feel really bad if i made him wait, gave him hope, and then ended it shortly after..
idk he's a good friend and if i do decide to go for it then i want it to turn into something... another reason is he's one of the few people i know who's going to the same university as me in september so i don't want our friendship to end or anything because of this

[Miss.Understood]

give him a shot, maybe he's worth trying.

guys say lots of b.s. sometimes, but inside, DEEP DEEP DEEP DOWN, they're sentimental freaks like us women too. hahaha i hope everything works out for the best. good luck =)!
