He's very polite with me and all. He's military and was stationed overseas, recently went back to the US. I met him on a mission in my state on a deployment. He wrote me a message the other day saying that although he's happy to be home, he often think of the time he was here and the friends, like me, he made. I know he perhaps is not thinking in something romantic with me especially because we only met for two times and didn't have much but some friendly flirting. He's deploy right now for a month and told me when he'll be back and said that he'll definitely be in touch.Do you think is worth to keep such a friendship with him, like if we ever can be closer friends, I don't say like something romantic, cuz long distance is tough, but I just wonder?

 Hi,
I cant see what the problem is. You aren't too concerned about him committing to you and relish the friendship.
And from his part, he has a female friend he can chat to which must help given his occupation and the fact that he is travelling around so much.
So all I can say is carry on as normal, but if you start to develop feelings of a romantic nature it might be an idea to let them out rather than pretend they dont exist.
good luck.

 You're close, right? Why should distance stop you from being friends? If it's not a relationship then the distance doesn't really matter at all. Even if something with romance does develop, you can manage it long distance. Things will work out fine. You're close friends. Don't lose touch just because of a little distance between you two.
Wishing you the best.
xx
