HELP - in serious like with a foreigner

I recently started dating a guy who is completely wonderful. He is a graduate student from Europe, but will be leaving to go back to his home country in August. I am devastated, but knew that hewas here only short term. I already have very strong feelings for him and feel sick to my stomach when I think about him leaving. I am not someone who typically falls head over heels for anyone and I tend to be very reserved with my emotions. I have thought about not seeing him (to spare myself the hurt later), but the thought of not seeing him is actually worse than the pain I know I will experience.

My dilemma: Assuming that my feelings do not change and continue to get stronger, what should I do about it? Tell him? What will that really accomplish?? And if so, when and how do I tell him?

Someone, please help! I am so lost and just don't know what to do!

Thanks for replying. I know Spanish men are more animated than American men, but this guy isn't really that animated. I wish he could read my body language LOL

Today is the last day of class for this summer session, and I was going to ask him today when I could talk to him privately. He wasn't in his class! His class is 2 doors down from mine, and I see him every day, but he wasn't there today :( I can email him, but that would sound weird to email him asking when I could talk to him privately, right?
