I personally wouldn't be "freaked out" by someone telling me they had a crush - and I suspect most others on here wouldn't be either.
If you have genuine , positive things to say to someone - say 'em ! The world needs more of that.

But it's not like they live on the moon. Call, Skype, FaceTime, whatever. Geography shouldn't be a barrier to getting to know someone. The perfect person for you might be on the other side of the planet.

Let them know! If nothing else, they’ll be flattered. I dated someone 3,000 miles away for two years, seeing him in person every couple of months. With texting, phone calls and Facetime, it is possible to have quality time and distance if both people are motivated

This is true. It is easy to say distance doesn't matter, but in reality, it does for most of us.

Sad because atheists don't grow on trees apparently! I'm so comfortable in mine that it's shocking to me being around vocal believers.

I met you in person and thought you were a great guy. If you have a crush on someone just tell them. If you want I'll tell them for you LOL.

So if you would never tell them, then this isn't a dating site for you.
Also, have they stopped selling airplane and bus tickets? Are the interstates shut down for the year?

Haha your thought is mine. I would really enjoy to meet in reality some person on this site. But I think if you really want to meet someone you will be able te meet that person in spite of the distance. And I think the feelings must be says.

Sweet! You give me hope.
