Hello all,

There's this guy at my university. We've been attending the same classes for around two years now, but never spoken to each other. Recently we both became members of the same (geek) club. This means that I now get to talk to him often... it also means that I've started to like him, a lot.

Today while waiting for another geek club member to finish her classes, I spent almost the whole day talking to him. He's a really nice guy and the more I know about him the more I like him. However, we then talked about where we see ourselves in the future... he basically described the girl he wants as someone similar to me, but also that he does not want to be unfair to a girl, and so wants to wait until he actually has time. He also says that as soon as he finishes this degree, he's leaving the country.

Now the issue is: how can I convince myself not to approach him? I'm pretty sure it's just a phase, the "my heart beats whenever I think of him" sort of thing and it should pass quickly, but until it does, I'm stuck with this painful pang. Help?
