We both live in cornwall, i live in St Austell and he lives in Penzance, i sort of like him but i don't want to get attached to him, because he lives like an hour away. I would love to go out with him, but it's just the travel. I don't know what to do? He seems so perfect but im not sure he likes me though, although he texts me saying ' i love you' :S? thanks!x

 An hour is not long distance ! It's the regular distance for lots of people who live and date in Los Angeles or New York or London or other big cities, - they manage somehow. Of course you might not be able to do the lovey dovey couple who hangs out every night , and probably you'll have to spend time together mostly, or only, on weekends- but then again that's what most people with a full time job has got to do anyway .

Maybe you could meet in the middle or something. Maybe you should make the effort and just see where it goes? Maybe it won't work out but at least then you will have nothing to regret later :)

 texts mean nothing
and to be honest an hour if you have transportation is nothing... if my man and i were an hour apart when we started I don't know that we would have even considered ourselves long distance.
we were two hours apart by car and we did that for about a year till he gave up his apartment and moved down to be with me full time...
you already know each other and like each other.
I think you should just go with the flow...
I spent a year driving 2 hours one way EVERY WEEK... there were weeks we went up and back 3 or more times with one or two cars. at one point our TOLLS alone were running $150 per month... I used to do the morning commute on Mondays... nearly 3 hours to get to work...but in the long run it was worth it.
An hour is nothing and if it works out you each move to meet in the middle then the commute is only 30 minutes to jobs you may already have although at your age you probably are both still figuring out what you wanna be when you grow up.
