I definately agree with the others here who have said that being friends with him, with your admitted attraction, will only lead to a lot of hurt and pain for you down the road.
You are already past the point of being able to have a no strings attached kind of fling. That's apparent because you are already emotionally attached!! (hence your post here)
It's a tough situtation to be in, but I think your leaving for SA is a good thing. It will make it much easier for you to forget and MOVE ON!!
