I am so happy for you!!! "Very nice chemistry" sounds really good, it is so important, isn't it! - He really seems to be a nice guy, and taking it slowly is also good.
It is funny that you like him to live a bit further away. I just wrote to one guy that I think he lives a bit too far away from me and that it would be too complicated to get to each other because you would have to take a ferry!- However, I think the total distance would only be about 30 miles! - It is amazing how differently we think in some ways.
Take care and good luck. I hope for you that things will work out the way you want them to. (((HUGS)))
