If you hit it off with somebody but they lived far away, would you still ask them out?

There's this guy I started talking to a few days ago on a social art media. We only talked about personal problems, but he asked me to add him on facebook so I did. Then we started talking about other things and hit it off. I don't know much about him, but we both have the same sense of humor, he's really sweet, and we have a lot in common. What's hesitating me to ask him out is that we live in different states and I'm scared to get hurt again by some one I thought I could trust.
I want to know if you think I should ask him out or wait longer? If so, why? Also, would you personally do that?
Please, no rude answers.
Thanks in advance!

Personslly I wouldn'tvunless he was a super special guy. Depends onnyour perdonality though and what you both would want

Id wait for him to ask you im old fashioned like that i think you should wait a little see if you really truly like him and see if he asks you guys like to be the one who asks it makes them feel like a man

Well you can't actually "ask him out" since you both can't go out together lol. If you mean more like start an online-long distance relationship. My opinion is to not go that far and instead stay in contact/flirty/whatever else you want to do (webcam skype, phone calls etc). I don't really have a problem with long distance relationships but when you have really never met the person in real life i don't think you should make it "official". You two can like each other and act that way without being tied down.

For example i started really talking to loads of people on the computer when i was like 11/12 (video games, message forums, chat rooms, random adds on facebook etc) There are still girls i met all those years ago (i'm 16 now) who lived in either different states or countries and even as time went on i felt closer to them than the girls i hang out with irl so naturally i thought about relationships, however i stayed clear and now as i'm getting older and more independent we have plans to meet up during the summers/when we are 18 and go anywhere we want and in my opinion its worth it. During the years each had people we liked irl/dated but we never lost contact even if just once or twice every couple of weeks in a friendly way. In my opinion its the better path.
