<human>: First off, I'd like to apologise if I have the wrong subreddit. I don't frequent this place at all but I am looking for some help and I am not really sure where to get it from.

I am new to the whole love/feelings thing and not really sure how to go about it. I am 20M crushing on a 23M. We are both gay (although he doesn't actually know I am), and have been friends for a few months; we talk on skype fairly often as I have been helping him with his english. However:

- I have never met him in person
- He lives in another country
- He is a very different person to me (I feel we wouldn't be that compatible as an item should some crazy thing ever happen).

But I can't stop thinking about him. He wants to talk to me about someone he has been seeing and really likes. I am legitimately happy for him (like any friend is) but whenever I think about these feelings just start rushing in.

These feelings are all new to me, but there are too many barriers and even if they didn't exist, I know we wouldn't be that compatible. We are also going to be moving to the same country in a few years (not to meet, but we both had plans to move there before we met). But you feel how you feel y'know?

I'd like to have him as a friend without being unable to stop thinking about him when I am not talking to him. Any ideas on how to stop or slow down these feelings?

Thanks

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: Crushing like mad on some guy that I have never met in person; I don't even live in the same country as him - how do I stop these feelings?
