Need perspective on a time limited relationship
I’ve (f22) been friends with someone from uni for about three years. I graduated last year and she’s still at uni, so we now live over two hours apart. I realised in April 2025 that I liked her as more than a friend but pushed it down for a while. By October I started dropping small hints because I thought there might be something there. Earlier this year I got a bit braver, she flirted back, and when we saw each other in March it felt pretty clear we both liked each other. After a lot of soft, innocent flirting she eventually admitted she had feelings, and I said the same. We’ve spent a night together since then (no kissing yet, but it feels like that’s the next step). The complication is she’s here on a student visa and has to leave the country in September. I know I don’t want to do long‑distance across countries, so I’ve said I don’t want labels. We’re basically in this slow‑burn, feelings‑are‑there situation with a time limit, and I’m trying to figure out if this is a healthy “enjoy it while it lasts” thing or if I’m setting myself up for something messy. Would appreciate outside perspectives.
