Take your time to do it. It's going to be nerve-wracking, not going to lie, but when you feel ready, you should go for it.
Personally, I did it by straight-up telling them. (and, maybe sending the "send this to your crush without context" videos, too, but that's besides the point lol). It took months to build up the confidence but doing it really relieved me of that nervous weight.
If they don't reciprocate, it's okay; there's plenty of fish in the sea. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take!
Personal touch is important and calling the person will show that you are earnest and sincere. Be direct but respectful at the same time. Always tell the person that the decision is theirs to make and you will respect whatever the outcome is to be. Do not let the person feel pressured to give an answer immediately. Allow him or her to think through and get back to you. Since it’s a Long distant crush, assure the person that you are sincere with your feelings and that distance was never a consideration when falling in love. Your honest words will always touch the heart
