Yes, no... maybe so?

Okay. So here goes.

I met someone recently whom I like very much. We have nearly everything in common. It's easy to talk with him, to be around him. He's smart, funny, a bookworm and a writer like me. HOWEVER he wants to be an officer in the military and - though I know this may be thinking a bit too far in advanced - I am not sure that that is a life I would be happy with. I'm a rather stationary creature at heart and the thought of always moving from place to place, of having him gone for days or months at a time wouldn't I think work for me.

I know this, but the problem is that I like him. A lot. Everytime I see him it gets a little harder to comprehend the idea of one of us walking away one day, going in separate directions. I don't know what to do - but I know I have to do something and the quicker the better. It isn't going to get any easier and, if nothing else, I owe him my honesty.  

So my question to all of you is this: what wins out in the end - the heart or the head? With reason still left, do I make the smart decision and end it now? Or will I regret one day letting go of something so potentially good? Have any of you been in a similar situation and, if so, what to did you do? And even if you haven't, what do you think?

I ask only in the hope that someone might say something that strikes lightening in my head and help me to make peace with my descision.

Whatever it may be.

dare I ask how old you are?  it would be helpful for advice-giving

I'd take it as it comes... it seems to still be early days, and you never know, it might just be something you could go with.

When I first met my bf (online lol) I knew that he would always stay where he was, and wondered if one day I could actually settle permanantly. My life has consisted of moving every few years. Anyhoo, going with it has turned out to be the best thing I have ever done. We're not living together yet, but I'm very looking forward to the day it happens.

I'd go with the heart.  The rest of the life plans rarely work out the way you expect anyway.
