I am in love with a man who lives across the country. I need advice?

Hello all! So here is the story, and I'm sure many people can relate in some way. In high school, I had a boyfriend for about 2 and a half years and I thought I loved him. He was a good man, but had sever depression and bipolar disorder which led to me breaking it off. I thought I could never find another man that I could equally love. During my senior year, I met a guy who I instantly liked. He is 2 years older than me (I'm 19 and he is 21). We went to the same high school, but didn't know each other until I became a senior. We hit it off and had so much chemistry. He is a gorgeous man with great lifelong goals and intentions. He moved far away to study film in California, and I'm stuck in indiana attending university here(I'm a freshman). Me and him facetime often and keep in contact almost daily. He and I both know we like each other a lot, but we also know how far away we are. We try to be rational, but a long distance relationship seems difficult. I'm in college now, and I'm meeting tons of new people and obviously men. I can't seem to stop comparing every guy I meet to my best friend that lives in California. He comes home about 2 a year, but that just isn't enough for me. Should I try and get over him? I want to be with him and he told me the same in the future. It's just so far fetched. I miss him so much, I miss the comforting feeling. Anyways, thank you for reading this long and extraneous post. Help?
