Thanks for the replies. It has always been my stance that if it's meant to work out it will - but it seems there have been non stop obstacles in trying to meet up (genuine ones, but a nuisance nonetheless) and I'm losing heart. He's hoping to make it here this month so maybe I'll see how I feel then and if necessary talk to him about the situation. If he doesn't make it down I might have to just tell him over the phone.
