I was in the Marine Corps before being medically discharged, and while I was in a holding company (for nearly six months) I met a fellow male Marine. He and I eventually got to talking, and I told him that I really liked him after a few weeks. At first he questioned it, a lot, but then he told me he liked me too. I have since left, and been home for a few months. He texts me occasionally, asks me how I am and vice versa, and says he misses me. The other day he told me that he writes me letters nearly everyday, but never sends them. I want to be in a relationship with him, even though it would be a long-distance one.

What should I do or say? I don't want to push and drive him away, but I also don't want to lose him.
