then he probably has deep feelings for you. i would talk to him about it, but make sure the time is right and by that, i mean make the time right. i wish you all the best in making it work.
the first question is whether he's interested. the only way you can find this out is by talking to him, telling him you have feelings, and seeing what happens. but even if he is, that's really just the start unfortunately. the next question with long distance love interests usually involves trying things out with a visit. since you have a child, it would be best if he could come visit
