New potential -- can't mess this up!

[NOLA]

I don't fall easily, but when I do.. I fall hard. I have a habit of getting overly excited if I have a strong connection with someone new. Admitting this now. Maybe it's a girl thing, but I can't help but picture would it would be like to date them, etc. etc.

This would be harmless, except sometimes these feelings lead to obsessing, then perhaps coming off clingy. Big no-no..I'm aware. This is why I need help!

I went to a music festival with friends over the weekend and had a connection with this friend-of-a-friend who who staying at my condo. Since the two of us had mutual friends, we were hanging out all weekend.. eventually turned into flirtation, and then it was basically like we were there together. He was a COMPLETE gentleman to me and was very fun, yet mature. I am 22 and finishing up college this summer, and he is 26 and has a job in another city.

Anyway, the weekend ended with us parting ways and both agreeing that we were so glad we had met and had a great time together. He told me to give him a call the next time I visited his city.

I realize that we don't live in the same place and just met, but I really don't want to let go of this possible match (for lack of better wording). I really did feel something different with him.

It just so happens that I am likely moving to his city at the end of the summer/beginning of fall.

How should I approach this?? If he doesn't send me random texts or call, that doesn't mean he isn't interested... or does it?
I'm going to his city soon for an interview.. so should I text him that I'll be in town before I'm there -- maybe giving him a chance to ask me out?

All thoughts are appreciated.

Yep, if you're going to be in his city, text him and say 'Hey, I'll be in your city on such and such date/such and such time for an interview...it would be great to catch up with you while I'm there!'. The end. If he texts back, good. If not, you've got your answer.

Thanks...I agree. He added me on Facebook last night and commented on a picture that was tagged of us.
I know that's not a huge deal, but he's thinkin about me, right?? ha..

its not just a girl thing. Its called infatuation and it happens to guys too so dont worry about it

if you are up for long distance and so is he-then you should contact him and get to know him better and let him know next time you are in his city

[Am I crazy?]

uuummm. seems pretty straight forward to me. call him when you are in his city just as you discussed.

You're over thinking it. Just shoot him a text saying you're going to be in town and you'd like to meet up. Set a date and a time.
If he responds then you're good to go.

Well, I didn't even have to make a move!

He sent me a random, conversation-starting text tonight. When I mentioned the interview in his city, he told me I should stay the whole weekend. Invited me to see a band our mutual friend plays in.

yayyyy
