    You've been on a grand total of two dates.
    He's not moving for several months.

    You're overthinking it -anything could happen in that time. Go with the flow and see what happens. Then have the conversation if and when it gets to the point when you need to. Right now it's way too early for anything like that unless you want to send him running for the hills.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Red hot attraction? Have fun but be safe.
    Go out and buy some condoms.
    If you get together you've at least prepared yourself , for the moment when he hasn't got any protection and you think you may not see him again.
    You're an adult, do not have unprotected sex however enticing it may sound.

    I want to see where it goes for these few months(because you never know, something may happen where it does or doesn't work) then maybe suggest seeing if he wants to continue dating when he moves

    The best advise anyone could give you, you have given yourself. Just enjoy the dating for what it is, a nice time, and then when he moves see if you both want to continue.

    I imagine some of your friends are afraid to see you get hurt, if you end up wanting more and he doesn't, or losing you to London, if you both do.

    if you want a relationship and you like him but your not sure what he wants you could ask if he sees it heading somewhere, save a bit of heartache and time

    Go out with him a few more times and enjoy yourself! Try not to overthink it.
    You might go off him in a week or two. Or, end up staying together, doing a long distance thing and could consider moving back to London in the future. Who knows! Enjoy that you've found someone you click with and go from there.

    Don't let distance put you off. Where there's a will, there's a way.

    Ask yourself why you never get a second date. Do you talk too much and not give your date a chance to say anything? Trying too hard can be off putting to some people.

    That's a bit harsh. The OP has already said she often doesn't go beyond a second date because she hasn't clicked with the person concerned, absolutely nothing wrong with that.
