For context we met online and have been talking for two weeks so far. We’ve called each other and we end up talking for hours about anything and everything. Our conversation just flows so naturally and we have a similar sense of humor which is really pleasant. We do flirt on text, but it’s nothing too explicit either. He’s very respectful so far.
We both have gotten out of serious relationships sort of recently (6 months ago) and our relationship is going at a slow and steady pace. We have plans to meet each other in the summer to go on a date and see how things go.
The longer he’s in my life, the more I’m confident the date will happen and it makes me so excited. I really like him, even as a friend. But I get scared that he’ll meet a perfect, better girl in his city before we meet and all of this would be a waste of time.
I do want to try and not give up because of my anxiety though. If I don’t try and run away from him I’ll always wonder how things would’ve turned out.
We live 1 hour flight away from each other, we would meet earlier, but we’re both in exam season right now. So we would be meeting in a month or two. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙂
Tl;dr met someone online, would be meeting in person for a date in two months. I’m scared he’ll find someone better who lives closer to him. I want to think more positively about the situation, but not raise my hopes too high

If he is important enough to you that worry about who else he might be with is a concern to you, then you either need to ask him for exclusivity, accept that he *might* find someone else he prefers to spend time with, or end things. That’s it. Those are your choices.
I agree with the other comment. The only thing you can do is accept the possibility and go w the flow. I know that’s probably not what you’re looking for but it’s what it is.
