He lives alone and so do I - so we are both single - but he seems so popular and has a lot of FB friends so I'm sure I wouldn't stand a look in.I am too scared to suggest anything as I don't want to risk him 'unfriending' me. What should I do?

 Aunty BimBim is right. Find a boyfriend nearer home. How do you imagine a relationship is going to develop if you are at opposite ends of the country?
If you were crazy in love then I suppose you could quit your life where you are. and move nearer to him. But on the strength of a FB like people one might think that you were behaving like an idiot. Not that I would say that of course.
I think if the opportunity were given there could be a good man to be found nearer to hand.

 Lots of people in the public eye, like authors, artists and entertainers interact with fans and followers through facebook. It is part of their marketing strategy.
If he has lots of followers, and you 'tracked him down' I would suggest facebook is part of his public persona, and that it might be a good idea to hold off suggesting anything at this stage. However, if you hear he is going to be in your town you could invite him to see some of the sites, and maybe a coffee afterwards.
A long distance relationship with somebody who has lots of followers could cause you more grief than joy, you would always be wondering what he was up to, and if any of those followers were doing more than follow.
So continue with the occasional chats that you already enjoy and in the meantime look for a boyfriend a bit closer to home
Good Luck!
