interstate guy or local guy how can i choose.

I"m wondering if i should pursue an interstate relationship with a guy who i've communicated with for several months and i really like him, respect, him, admire him, am attracted to him on so many levels.
I love what a loving parent he is to his children, how devoted and caring he is in his work, how thoughtful and wise he is for me. I find this guy really joyful for me and attractive on so many levels.
But he is interstate so can it really go anywhere unless i leave my friends and family and all that works for me in my life to go live closer to him. And with his kids i might not be able to live with him in the next few years so it seems complicated. should i take it one step at a time and see in 6 months whats going on as i really am drawn to this phenomenal guy.

Or do i go with a local guy who would be caring helpful and i could immediately have a relationship with this.

Do i just follow thru with the interstate guy, or do i maybe go out a couple of times with the local guy to try to help make such a critical choice sooner.

I dont want to be intimate physically with 2 guys and i dont know if i even want to be dating 2 guys, but maybe i can still meet the local guy a couple of times without causing anyone hurt, or maybe i just hve to follow the interstate guy for a few monthsa nd then see what i think .

Do i go with the interstate guy that i feel really excited about and drawn to and really enjoy his company and character traits, personality even if it means leaving my friends and family that give me so much social joy

or do i give a chance to the local guy that immediately i can have a relationship with and has more time for me in general , while still retaining my friends family and all the good in my life

I would consider a few dates with the local guy. Non sexual ones. And see how it feels. I don't believe there's only one "perfect partner" for anyone. And I do think that location and family and friends are important still. Expecting a single person to give all the different kinds of support and friendship that are good for people to have. Is a really big ask. And it might be easy to fall into criticising the interstate guy for not being "perfect." If you do pursue that relationship and it doesn't fill all the gaps that moving would leave in your life.

It's a really difficult decision to make. So I think you're right in trying to make it as slowly as possible.
