In need of advice

So I've been texting this guy for four months consistently. We met in person over the holidays at a church event. We started texting and it's been pretty friendly no flirting not even subtle flirting. He always answers every text and I mean if I send multiple in a row he will address every one (ladies you know what I mean). He moved back to a different state for a time but plans on getting a job back in the state I live to be closer to family in the late spring early summer. I want to ask what the purpose of us texting is since we don't have plans to even see each other when he gets back. The soonest I know I will see him is at a wedding he is in and I am invited to. I feel like if I keep texting and possible developing feelings I could be setting myself up to be hurt in the end. I feel he must like me somewhat if he's been texting me for months. What do I do?? What do I say?
