Am I friend zoned or just over thinking things?

I have been talking with a guy on the internet for the best part of 6 weeks now as friends, this past 1 week we have been rather close and spoke on Skype a few times and on IM a lot more than usual. Yes, silly me, I have fallen head over heals for him. *sigh* My worst fear is rejection, I am notoriously known for getting mixed up between a guy being nice and flirting. I am so determined he's flirting but I am still not 100% because I don't understand why he would flirt with me. He has started calling me sweetie, honey, love, and putting hearts and kisses on messages too. He also has sent me pictures of him as well and wanted to know what I thought about them too, which to me is his way of finding out what I think of him? I haven't tried to make it too obvious how I feel but I have been flirting with him quite a lot, in a very sly way. He is a busy guy, so we don't talk a lot but when he is around we do. He is busy with work, uni & social life so he isn't on the computer as much as I am... I feel like I miss him at times, which makes me feel pathetic. We have had conversations about relationships too, and he has been pretty open about his past and seems like he wants to have a meaningful relationship from what he has said. A friend of mine thinks he likes me from the way he acts but, I have often thought someone has liked me and when it's come to telling them how I feel they have just gone shy on me. I am intending on waiting till after the new year and see how things are still between us and see about telling him. I really don't know what to think, if he is just being friendly I'd rather know now so I can move on but if not I don't want to be too forward and scare him off what do I do?

So is this an internet only thing? Is there any chance to actually see him in person? I met my ex online so I know how you feel. How far apart are you?

So far, yes. If things did develop I would obviously meet him no question. I am in the UK he's in Norway, I've actually looked how much it would cost to go and see him and it's not so expensive either.
