too hesitant?

hey my name is elizabeth and i'm new to ivillage. :)

I have a huge crush on a guy i met through mutual friends. he and i have hung out in groups with friends tons of times, and we flirted a lot. there was a definite spark. we've exchanged emails (we're both not big phone peole), and we've emailed back and forth frequently. i'd really like to start seeing him. he's going to be a sophmore in college (2 hrs away) and i'm going to be a senior in high school...i'm thinking of going to see him once in the fall and once in the spring ('round his b-day). (i brought up visiting him at college once in a convo, and he said that'd be really cool if i came to see him)and keeping in touch through email during the year...i'm afraid to tell him i'd like to start seeing him outside of our circle of friends becuase we're in two very different stages of our lives, and i'm afriad of making my move and telling him before i graduate becuase he'll think i'm too young for him, the distance is too much, different stages in our lives. also, i don't think that the distance would give a fair chance to a new relationship. so, i'm thinking of staying in contact through out the year, and telling him once he gets back from college next summer, so we could start dating over the summer and give "us" a fair chance at becoming something. i know he casually dates in college, and i'm kinda worried that if i don't tell him i'd like to start seeing him, then he might find someone he really likes and i'd be completely out of the picture...
