TLDR: I am not sure if this relationship will work out or not, and I’m panicking.
So, about a month ago I joined a V-Tuber’s discord server(I will not say so as to not flood it) and I enjoyed being there a lot. About a week into being there, a member I hadn’t met introduced themselves and I took to them immediately.
A week or so ago, they DMed me, asking for some writing advice(I am known as the Poet in the server for my writing skills), and I happily helped them out. Today, I start talking to them again after a few days and I don’t know what was going on, but we got really flirty(for some context, I am 20 Female presenting, but male, they are 31 NB).
I was going to bed, but couldn’t get them out of my mind, so I came to ask yall. I don’t know this person in person, I don’t even know what they look or sound like, all I know is the personality they present and I am very fond of it. The same could be said from the other side as well. I do want to note that we at least both live on the East Coast of US, so time zone and distance might not be an issue.
Do these relationships stand a chance or is it doomed? I’m really hopeful this turns out well, but I don’t know, I’ve never been in a relationship and I don’t know about their romantic life.

Some further context:
We have both shared our interest in each other, so it’s two way, I suppose that a good thing.
I really like them, they make me happy, warm, and more real about myself. I don’t have to hide who I am, as I have been doing for years.
They are amazing, they write, read, listen to similar music, like similar things.
And lastly, this all happened in the course of an afternoon, from 20:00-22:00. Roughly. I don’t know if this was a fluke, a one off thing of desperation, or something else. It originally started as a joke, when they gave me the advice “do whatever makes you happy” and my comedian brain went to, “You make me happy, should I do you?” and it escalated from there.
I don’t know what to do, I’m panicking. This is the first person I’ve felt feelings for in over 3 years. And I don’t even know them.
