| Is it possible to fall in love with someone you never met?
Posted: 4/9/2006 9:45:27 AM |
yes and it does appear that even the ones that claim it can happen,those relationships dont last,so it cant be love,or they would.
So people meet eachother get married and it lasts a few years both of them have grown and changed and no longer fit like they use to, does that mean that they never loved each other? I know several marriages that broke up this year after 27-30 years. Sometimes things don't work out, but love was there and if you have fond memories then love will always be real even if you're not "in love anymore".  | |

Posted: 4/9/2006 9:50:33 AM | | Oh and BTW it didn't work out...he's a chicken $hit and didn't have the balls to show..I kind of figured as much...made up some lame a$$ excuses after I asked hime for a reason, and he didn't even call to say he wouldn't be there, not even show up for a drink and say hello? I spent the evening being hit on and telling men that I was waiting for someone else..boy I looked like a fool...Oh well...So fraud warning I guess..live and learn. It was fun while it lasted. Maybe he's super ugly and just couldn't face me..lmao...oh well I still believe... and in the meantime I'll just have fun. Good luck to you all! | |

Posted: 4/9/2006 10:26:00 AM | Love is one of the most overused words in our society today. We use it so freely. With regards to falling in love withour meeting face to face lets be honest. You are falling in love with an image of the person as you have interpreted from your conversations only. The risk of course is that you are completely wrong in your interpretation. You must have knowledge of the complete person and will only know after a normal face to face one on one realationship over a reasonable amount of time. There are a lot of wonderfully good people out there but being married to them or living with them is a different story.
I have a friend that married a foreign woman he met on the internet 25 years ago and they are still married with a wonderful family so it can happen but it is certainly not be the norm.

Posted: 4/9/2006 10:31:50 AM | | Correction with my 1st post on the subject. My friend did not meet his wife on th Internet 25 years ago he met her via a pen-Pal club. I should also mention that they wrote letters and called one another on the phone for two years before they were married. He said they didn't even have Internet then. | |

Posted: 4/9/2006 4:00:31 PM | I think you have honestly cant fall in love with someone you have never met...
You have heard of people that have met off the internet and fell in love and are happy together, but not very likely they loved eachother before they met.
The only reason you apparently love this guy is because you have made up in your head all the things you want him to be, and all the things you hope he will be.. when in fact the flaws will come out eventually after you meet, you will start noticing the small stuff...
But I wish you the best of luck with it all hun!!
Oppsie sorry didnt read all the previous posts..... LOl | |

It is possible to fall for someone you have never met. If you have chatted for a period of time, and you click mentally, emotionally and can stimulate one another minds, it is very possible.
I'm sorry but I disagee. I can't imagine anyone falling in love with chatting.It's just text how does a person fall for a font?JMO | |

Posted: 4/9/2006 11:38:24 PM | The real problam that I see with this is that you never get the chance to see if someone's actions back up their words. Of course you can create a persona that anyone in their right mind would love...but can you foolow through by proving that you were being honest and meant what you said?
I think you pretty well have to not only meet, but give it some time. | |

Posted: 4/10/2006 12:16:02 AM | Emotionally yes I believe its possible. However there is more to love than just an emotional attachment, the other half of the equation you'll have to find when you meet. That can destroy the deal just as much as having no emotional connection.
Therefore no I dont believe its possible to fall in love without meeting them because half of the equation is missing. | |

Posted: 4/10/2006 7:04:34 AM | Thank you denim...you are a sweetheart
Love is everything it needs to be and can be for the two people that have connected and bonded with each other. That bond is really different for everyone....so to speculate or conjecture what it could or should be for people that have never physically met is academic at best. | |

Posted: 4/10/2006 7:14:08 AM | I haven't posted yet, but read this thread with interest.
I have my OWN personal experience with this situation and I know what I've felt and what happened.
What this thread brings to mind is the stories of years ago. Soliders at war who had a pen pal relationship with a girl back home. Who only knew each other by their letters, but many of them fell in love, got married when he came back and celebrated 50th wedding anniversaries. Some really precious stories. I'm not about to argue for or against, but just something to think about. We DO communicate through words, mostly. Spoken, written, typed, faxed, emailed, IMed. We also communicate through body language, voice inflection and facial expressions, but not just those by themselves. Of course, in person face to face is by FAR the best. But just think if you could fall in love or you DO fall in love with a person through their words, through communication. That's how we get to know someone, to feel and respond to them emotionally.
Just my thoughts. I have my own experience, everyone else has theirs. | |

Posted: 4/10/2006 7:16:18 AM | | I can't say for 100% absolutely sure...but i'm tending to lean towards yes it can happen....because you're actually falling in love with the "person" you have been conversing with...the physical aspect has not swayed your decision as to whether or not you "love" him...as far as fantasizing about the physical part...well we all do that!! (even when we have "been" with a partner) I guess it would be up to you to make that a reality when you eventually get to that point...because remember this is the PERSON you LOVE.... | |

Posted: 4/10/2006 7:48:06 AM | I would like to think.... YES, that's why some of us are using this site??
BUT, BUT, BUT from past exp... don't build up too much pre-meeting.(spent 6hrs on the phone one night, texts galore for days)
So many expectations.... fantastic personality, great posh accent, funny, decent pic via email,same way of thinking...... everything...... except, when we met did not fancy her.
Spent 25hrs together convincing myself she's the one, why am i being so shallow, looks are'nt everything & i'm no Brad Pitt.... BUT after sleeping on it (not her!), the next day i did the right thing, and told her a good eneough excuse why we could not be. Felt like a complete barstard, but i can't lie to myself, or her for that matter. | |

Posted: 4/10/2006 8:19:28 AM | Bucsgirl, your own experience with this just lends so much insight to the side that it CAN happen. I enjoy reading your posts about how you and your SO have overcome the distance and have made it work for both of you.
It truly gives me hope in my LDR.
Thank you. | |

Posted: 4/10/2006 8:24:38 AM | I still think that it's possible. Despite the outcome Shayne was a pretty awsome guy. In the end I think he got a bit freaked out about the whole thing. I said some not so nice things previously and I'm goiing to apologize now. I hope that all goes well for everyone I think I'm done for now. | |

Posted: 4/10/2006 8:55:23 AM | Man, this question is such a dead horse....
It all depends on how YOU define love. Get together for great sex for 6 months? Marry and have children? Marry and DON'T have children....? Whatever. A lot of people "fall" very easily and they are typically the people who comprise the 67% side of the statistic that says 67% of marriages fail.
Talk to me 2 years from now when you are being evicted for not paying rent or making a house payment. Talk to me when the other person's habits have driven you crazy. And as we get older and set in our ways, those things happen faster.
For the young people that still have stars in their eyes, it is quite possible for them to think they love someone they have never met. Once you have lived some and lost your rose colored glasses, the criteria changes and for older folks I would say that it is more likely they fall in love with the idea of not eating Christmas dinner alone at Denny's. | |

sounds like you have had some real winners....but this thread is about the possibility of falling in love with someone you never met....not how long you stay with them.
But better luck in your future endeavours.
And to most of the people on this page....love your attitudes towards the subject.
