Would you try to start a relationship with this guy?

Hi All,

There is a guy who I've liked, for a while. But it's very complicated...

Firstly, there is a 1 hr 40 min distance between us. Also:

- His is schizoaffective (type of schizophrenia) & has crohn's disease. We both would like to adopt children; but I know that adoption agencies would veer towards a 'no' for him. I really would like children.

- Because of his schizoaffective disorder, he suffers from paranoia. As a result, I always contact him before he contacts me. This hurts, to be honest. This could be difficult in a long term relationship...?

-He is extremely attractive, I just don't know if he would like me, if he didn't have his health issues. I feel a bit like a 'second choice'. This is mainly because I contact him 80% of the time...

I really do like him. I'm slightly worried about his health issues, but this alone, wouldn't be a put off. It just the issues/ concerns that it brings. I know that he likes me.

What are your thoughts?
