Hi everyone! Just wanna say that before I get into my post I wanna thank you all for helping me out since I've been using Reddit the past few years ~~(I remade my account I used when I was 17 or something to this one)~~ and offering so much advice to those who aren't me. You all ROCK! 

But down to business! I was hoping someone could help me out? I acquired a crush on someone who lives in Brazil (I'm in the United States, midwest) and is two hours ahead of me. Let's call him Carlos just in case. He's a real charmer!. We've been friends for a while but I never realized I loved him until recently. However, I'm afraid I'm gonna be super clingy towards him and drive him away like I do with all of my crushes. What should I do? Carlos said he thinks he loves me back too. IDK. Help?
