I have a big crush on another Mahalo member. What should I do?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

You know what you need to do? Tell him/her. You'll feel better. Even if this person is unavailable for whatever reason or uninterested, at the VERY least you're going to be giving this person the compliment of a lifetime. And you'll probably get an amazing friend out of the whole deal.

(CHANGE LYRIC TO "HIM" IF APPROPRIATE, but you get the idea...this whole anonymous thing is tricky...)

Hmm, the only advice I could give you is to befriend that person. We're all very friendly and nice here so I think you'll be friends in no time. :D You can also ask for this person's online accounts such as Facebook or Twitter or maybe this person has his/her own site or blog so that you'll know what he/she's up to. ^^
Then from there, try to know this person better. There are lots of ways out there to communicate just in case you live in different places.
Yay! Good luck! :D

I think it's cute and romantic kind of, and you never know. Could be an interesting "how we met" story someday...or a great ad for Mahalo! Make sure you come back and tell us how it goes...

If both of you are adults, still, keep in mind that "knowing" someone online is not the same as knowing them in real life. If and when you met this person face to face you might realize that s/he is not who you thought s/he is, and/or that there simply isn't that special chemistry that makes a relationship click.
Having said all that, many people use dating sites such as match.com to meet and date others, with some fraction of such dates leading to long-term relationships, so things are not hopeless.
The bottom line is to proceed with caution, and always stay present to the fact that you don't really know this person. You can try to "friend" them here, as well as on Facebook etc. (if this person is on FB and is willing to friend you back). Gradually, assuming things seem congenial on both sides, you might broach meeting in real life. However, do this very carefully so both of you are comfortable and safe throughout the process of learning to know each other in person.

I voted this answer as "Best." I'd also like to add that, since you don't know the person's marital status, it's best to simply keep it on a friendly basis until you feel comfortable asking about it. You can begin cultivating the friendship by going to that person's profile and clicking on "Add as a Friend," under the picture. You'll be added as a fan of that person, and that person will show under "I'm a fan of," on your profile. When s/he "adds" you, then you become mutual friends. See the "Friends" tab on your profile for more information.

It's really hard to get to know someone in a community like this. They could be anyone. I would definitely recommend using extreme caution. If you've seen their picture that may not even be their real picture. Better safe than sorry.
You might also try looking at their profile and the website they have listed there (if there is one). You might find out that they are married and save yourself the embarrassment of trying to pursue something that you shouldn't.

make sure you know there gender that would suck if you got it wrong
try and find out if they like you before telling them you like them on the other hand if you tell them outright it will be easier but cause more embarrassment
oh and if they live far away and you have no ties to your current location it could be worth moving there (if all goes well online)
by the way i'm talking from experience sadly online romance didn't work for me maybe it will for you

M$For one thing this is an online community with brief communications. It really is difficult to get a handle on someones personality enough to have any strong feelings for them. i.e it's probably the imagination of what the other person is rather than the reality that you have a crush on
