How I did it: I met him two months into my first year here at college.  My first impression was that of fascination and interest, but I never would have pictured myself as his girlfriend.  It took a long time just to become friends, and that rapidly evolved into something more over about 4 months. 

I finally just got up the nerve to tell him that I like him, and he kissed me right off, and everything went from there.  I'm going back home in two weeks, for good.  I made the decision before I had anything to stay for. I couldn't be happier with a first boyfriend.  My heart aches to think of leaving him so soon, but I'll never regret making the choice to pursue this relationship.

Lessons & tips: If you like him, tell him! Even if he doesn't like you back, you'll feel better. I know this is standard advice, and I knew it before I told him, but I still had to be pushed to do it. Just tell him.
