Online relationship - how should I proceed?
I have met this really nice guy over an online game two years ago. We connected really well, shared many similar ideas, have very similar character as well, it was as if he was my soul mate. Things are fine, we do have our ups and downs, but we still enjoy each other's company (at least I did, I hoped he did as well). However, our problem is that, he is way over the other side of the country, which takes a 4 hour flight. I mean, I would be willing to sacrifice for this relationship. Geez, like, its really hard to come by people whom you connect well... Thus far, I have met him once, over a couple of hours, it was all right, I felt really odd, cause I haven't talked to him face to face. But, after that meeting we still continued on chatting as per normal, nothing much has changed.
I haven't really asked how he felt about me. I have no idea how. I am starting to like him, and I would really like to bring it further to a serious relationship. So first off, is how should I ask him out? Should I tell him that I like him?
