No - what you fall In love with Is what you have created In your own mind at this point - literally a mills and boon romance with NO substance.

I think you love, care deeply and also possibly fall in love with someone you haven't yet met in person...as long as you believe and feel in your heart that they are who they claim to be, faithful/trustworthy and honest...but if you have any doubt, I don't think it would be real...looks are SOO much better when you KNOW a person anyways, or can make a hot person look TERRIBLE if you know them to be a liar and cruel. Appearances of the heart look way better than the exterior.....

Have you ever read a story book and completely into it?.... Cry, laugh... all the different emotions as the chapter takes you

Online & falling in love? Yes it can happen. Very unrealistic though (when only brain is engaged) but not impossible (when feelings get ingaged). And who is only realistic all the time, 24/7??????

All is gamble in this world, everything has an ingredient of gamble. One has to take the risk to move forward even if it comes to our inner - well guarded - feelings.

what you fall In Love with Is what you have created In your own mind at this point

I agree with dansdog,
A person may think that they are in love, but without meeting the person, they don't truely know him/her. Falling in love with a person you haven't met, you're only falling in love with the limited number of things that you know about that person, and with other things that your mind may have created based on the limited amount you know.

Someone may think that they are in love, but when you meet the person and get to know more about their habits, mannerisms, etc you may find that the person isn't what your mind had created.

Perhaps when meeting the person, they may turn out to be as great as assumed to be, but to feel you are in love before meeting someone is very premature and irresponsible.

I agree with that..

Very possible, but maybe only for those more emotional ppl. And those crazy enough... and those romantic enough... and say it if you wish - those naive enough ;-))

Possible even if you realise the other person might just turn out a figment of your imagination... Possible even if you've been there, done that and promised yourself next time not to fall in love before you meet up.. :-))
Possible even if you know from the beginning that BOTH of you might end up dissapointed...

Still, please notice the difference between falling in love, getting all the hopes and expectations for a happy development, dreaming and making plans... and the actual love, the strong feeling that comes with time shared together, with common experience, with getting to know each other and going through the good and raugh times...

You may fall in love if you spend hours chatting, calling each other... but love comes when you've been together and lasted..

And don't be so damn pessimistic, I think I should finish my every post with this:

Life's too short to worry, to be pessimistic, to look for faults in everyone, to be too cautious, to be afraid...
It really is

:-))))

I think we choose to love not just fall into it and if there is something inside that person that you love it can be conveyed via mail/phone. But be cautious for if its not love and just infatuation it may spoil that first meeting. I feel close to some of my friends on here but I love them as friends

EXACTLY...someone that's speaking from experience, not their ego.

Me last word here is, the question is if it's POSSIBLE right?

Not just emails, not just chatting...the phone, web-cams...for A LONG TIME...good and bad times...even harder from a distance...I trusted her more than ppl I spent years with.

U meet someone in a bar and sleep with 'em...U might fall in love, might not.......

I think the chances are actually higher of finding LOVE online than that...coz U both have to work and prove yourself beyond superficialities.

*YES it's possible*

love without conditions can happen at the strangest moment in time and not with plan or reasoning. It just happens.. Not lust just genuine love of someone... yes, it is possible to fall in love without ever meeting the person...

just perhaps the incredibly beautiful lady has only one person she sincerely cares for and if she is intelligent enough and the time is right she could find that she has fallen under the spell of the charm of the handsome fellow and doesn't know how to tell you that.....thus no e-mails.....

keptreal... are you sure she is in love with someone else? Perhaps it hasn't hit her yet or perhaps it has and it scares the tar out of her......sometimes we as women can't understand guys..... in my case I am afraid of the ice cube treatment....

My answer to you on this is: it is possible to start the ball rolling in falling in love with another, but not at the onset of the first email. You talk to one another, you share and confide, without judging the other, you give and receive respect, trust, and emotions. And when you meet, from the first time you look into each others eyes.
For that is the entrance into their soul. I tell you what, it sure worked for me, and I couldn't be happier with the results than I am at this moment regarding the first date. We are calling it infatuation right now, but we both know where it will end. The rest of lives together, and in love, and faithful to one another.
As far as chemistry. We have the spiritual relationship with both loving God, we both have the same outlooks on our own lives, and people, we do not stand in judgement of anyone, we can converse openly and honestly to each other, and we respect each others space, and personal likes, dislikes, loves, and beliefs, not forcing them onto the other, while willing to share with the other if they so wish to be a part of it, lastly, there couldn't be any better chemistry in my own opinion. This person has shown me a whole different aspect in the manner of looking at my own self, and he's open to me and my needs, and I him. Pretty darn awesome, actually. I pray it does keep growing and live on. Thank the Lord is what I do for bringing this man into my life, even if it was through plenty of fish.

Hey all..............I used to be a bit of a skeptic with regard to falling in love on the net or phone. However I'm not now. I did fall in love with someone 3,000 miles away. We met, and our gut instncts were right. In fact we are engaged and starting to plan our future together. It can happen, when ya least expect it. He happens to be the best friend of my brother in law who is also out west.

I think you can fall in love...people have been doing it for centuries.

However, I don't think you can "fully experience love" until you finally meet and can let your other senses be fully satisfied. I don't think you can fully love someone until you have felt your heart totally open with a deep loving kiss. How can you be fully in-love without ever looking deeply into your lover's eyes as you climax? How can you be fully in-love until you wake-up in the morning spooning into them, collecting their warmth and feeling totally satisfied.

You can easily fall in love but never fully experience that love if you choose to remain seperate and never enjoying what real love and life have to offer.

Just my two cents,

Bana-dito

Sure there has been many a person that has "fallen in love" with the click of the mouse.

This is the internet and you are bound to click with whomever.

Behave...moi? Oh don't count on that beffers

I have been through the on-line gambit as most have here to know what the difference is between falling in-love on-line vs in real life. The emotional intensity perhaps is the same just the real life love has all the extra fixings. Kind of like having a thanksgiving dinner with just the cranberry sauce and nothing else...yes, it is a thangsgiving dinner but is it enough really?

I think in this world, there are many people who confuse love and lust or warm fuzzies...I do however think that talking to someone everyday...without the physical to distract, that over a period of time, if it just clicks then it just clicks..."I may not be able to touch him... but I see parts of him that would be hard to fake". I think you can fall in love with someone and know that the package wont be complete until you meet, but you feel like you know their soul.
