So, I'll preface with this. She lives in England and I in Canada. We met online when she, let's just call her Janet, was 17 and I was 21. About 5 years ago. By the time she was 18 we were talking daily. Mostly about music, our main common interest; but about mundane things like our day, work, school, weather, etc. But I really liked this girl and i guess she liked me too so we decided we would cyber date. We didn't actually use those exact words but i suppose that's what you'd call it. So this went on for months, maybe around 6 months messaging back and forth daily on whatsapp and we would Skype or talk on the phone occasionally as well, even sent letters back and forth. Eventually though, we came to look at it realistically and things kind of fizzled out and we decided mutually to end things but stay friends.

There are a few artists/bands that we sort of bond over and so that's gave us a reason to keep in contact from time to time. Sending each other messages through social media when a new song or album is released or if we're going to see the band live, just discussing our opinions on these things. This would happen once every couple of months.

Flash forward to about 4 years later, July 2016 and my friend and I are going on a 2 week trip to the UK and of course I make plans to see Janet. So she takes a day off work and my friend and I walk around city centre with her and she tells about spots in her city. We then went to a pub and had a drink or 2. It went smoothly, plenty of banter but not a ton of flirting. Great day overall. I am very attracted to her (she is adorable) and do have feelings for her but also trying to be pragmatic, we live in different countries far away.

So present day now. In the last 6 months or so she has been messaging me more and more frequently and even mentioned a few times how she would one day love to visit Canada. In January she messaged me and she said word for word: "Also if hypothetically I came to Canada by myself, would you be able to come around Canada with me and be my tour guide? I’ve been thinking about it and I’d love to come alone, and seeing as you’re my Canadian friend I would OBVIOUSLY see you. But you could come around with me!! It was just a thought"

Of course I was elated to see this message and welcomed her offer. After that, we started to talk a lot more frequently and she eventually offered me her number saying it's more convenient and we should keep in touch more anyway. We start talking in whatsapp again about 3-5 times a week with her usually messaging first, one time we even talked for 8 days straight. Now I'm starting to develop feelings for her again. We chat mostly about music, difference in weather, curiosity about different culture and just life. However, not a ton of flirting but plenty of banter and making fun of each other and I'm catching myself constantly smiling at a screen.

She brought up visiting Canada again the other day and this time mentioned she can come for a week and is going to look into flights and booking the trip soon to come during Fall.

Here is my dilemma. Am I crazy for being crazy about this girl that lives half way across the world? Am I crazy for thinking we have a chance or have I seen too many love movies ? Should I tell her how I feel about her ? Am i insane and just living in a fantasy land ? Based on what I've written, do y'all Redditors think the chances she likes me are high ? xD

I've never really put myself out here on Reddit before but I am going crazy about this. I think about her way too much, even if we're not in conversation. So any help is appreciated. Even just getting this off my chest feels good because I feel crazy talking to anyone about it. Thanks Reddit, cheers.

TL;DR: have crush on my friend who lives overseas who wants to visit, not sure if i should tell her.
