Advice Needed

There is this guy that I like, but I am not sure that I want to go out with him. We live relatively close, but once the summer is over I am going to Canada for school. It's about an eight hour drive from Illinois, which is where I am currently. I'm not sure I could date someone long distance. Additionally, I may not be coming back to Illinois next summer. I may stay at school for summer classes or just find a job in my University town. I've also never gone out with a guy, so I'm a bit nervous about that whole thing as well. Any advice would be helpful, thanks.
