No, I didn't know him very well. And yes I did and still do love him. It was sad, but we made one another happy for a while. At least I hope I made him happy. But he was something different, Special...not once in a lifetime....but an entire lifetime...

Nonsense. People have fallen in love from long distance since the invention of paper. Not only is it possible, it's often a very deep and lasting kind of love. Ultimately, lasting love has very little to do with the physical body. That's why you see people who are 90, still madly in love even though they are barely able to stay continent. Touching someone is an expression of love, not a creation of it.

This isn't to say you're not in love with a fantasy. It's entirely possible you're in love with the idea of him rather that him. It's also possible you don't know him very well at all. None of us posters could determine that for you. All I'm saying is that it IS possible (I should know -- I experienced it).


You are absolutely correct Tonewheel!

Of course!

Most of the love you have for another is really the love you have for yourself and using your mate as the medium to love yourself.
Sounds kinky but then perhaps I am a strange, strange guy............... perhaps.

Actually, the old adage, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." Suggests that over-exposure is loves’ doom. Couples with another old adage, “ Less is more.”, seals this little personal theory for me.

INSPIRED JUST FOR YOU: I don't beileve in falling in LOVE until you meet.

Fall in Love with my soul,
Even if I'm fat
Even if I smell and I never take a bath,
Even if I tell you in one thousand words,
I love you so, cause words is all you need to hear online,
On the phone my fake soul,
Please don't ever be sad.
Fall in love with my soul,
Even if I''m married
And will never kiss your toes
Or open the car doors
At night you must beg me to bed,
When I'm not done drinking that last cold beer
or watch the last sports news,
That is if I don't stay out all night,
Playing pool at the bar, or checking out some red neck girl
In my truck where many to many times I find its the only **** that
wont yell back
Fall in love with my soul,
I promise not to hit you hard but only slam you to the ground,
Did I foget to say, you must cook and clean bring home the dollars too,
Be pregnant and have a fat belly for years to come,
Please fall in love with my soul
Did I ask if you own a house? You might as start foreclose,
Cause baby I am moving in with you, and will never pay the bills ...
One day you will kick me out but then again ...
Back to the internet ...
To many fish willing to listen to my story,
After all baby, its the words and NOT my soul ...

Hope that inspired you ....
Good luck. Hey you can always do a FBI back ground check on the guy or email Dr. Phil.

I don't think it is. I think until you meet, and get to know each other you should hold off in many ways. I met a man on the net who was nuts about me (it seemed) and we talked all the time. When we met, it was great,=== the first day. Then I found out he had a host of psychological problems. He would pour whisky in a 7- up can half emptied each morning. He talked all the time about what a C - - - his x was. He wanted me to give up my job and move upstate with him, although he did not have a job. I also found out he was physically abusive. I did a background check and found out he had a record with some pretty violent charges.

Please just be careful out in the world. I am just lucky I escaped with all my teeth and I actualy feel quite sick about the whole experience.

arubalove....

Interesting poem really...I know that there are a lot of posts and a lot to soak in and debate. It does sound crazy, I quite realize that. I also realize that there are a lot of cons and crazies out there. But it does happen. Yes I fell in love with his soul before we met...again cliche I know..and sometimes thinking about it makes me feel foolish. He touched me before we ever met face to facce and when we did..wow...we've drifted apart somewhat but we'll find our way back to each other. I am in love with him, I hate it somedays..but it's there nonetheless.

Don't be cynical people..like it or not it happens to some people..just not everyone.

Yes it is possible!!! I have met a man who is so amazing. He makes me feel really special and can talk to him about anything. Ive even poured out my heart and soul to him and he listened to me and helped me so much because I knew that he could relate to what I am going through. Most of the time we fall in love with someone or like them because of their looks. But when u meet someone and talk to them without ever seeing htem, u fall in love with their heart and personailty!! Its amazing!!

yea, i have been speaking to a guy i met 15.02.06 we speak every day and text goodnight and moring, hes to shy to meet but i will wait if it takes another 4 months coz hes that special and worth waitin for. I get so much stick from my friends who say hes married or got a gf that hurts but i know he hasnt. Unless you have experienced it you carnt explain its like havin a partner who works away. I just wish there was some way of gettin him ovet this shyness thought of writing to a tv prog and askin for help, we know we are ment to be together but its his shyness we have to overcome first and no its not an excuse its a real problem and we dont know what to do all we can do is wait and i will coz hes worth it to me, ive found what only comes along in a persons life once, we arnt childeren and know what we are doing xxx

I believe it is possible, a friend of mine talked to a guy online for over a period of 6 months and she was soooo in love with him over the phone and he with her, then they both flew and met in Atlantic City and have been together ever since, it's been about 10 years now.

It's not only possible but it's incredible... I think you can get to know a person so much better if you take your time... imagine how much more you know about eachother and how much more you've TALKED... compared to if you had met right away in person?

I do still think you have to be realistic and know the difference between really KNOWING this person, and making them into what you want them to be.

You could A) Set yourself up for real dissapointment (which doesn't mean your love wasn't real... just means the basis of it, well.. sucked?)

or B) You could love and know this person so well and so much that it's like you've met a hundred times already, and the only thing your missing out on is that sweet lovin'.

Good luck, and I hope for B)

Hi Verissa:

Sorry for taking awhile to reply to your last message to me. (just after message #403).

Disappointing to read that the two of you didnt work out at this time. And also to see that quickly he is looking to date others. Does he not realize you will see that in his profile?
Some people think that the actions they choose to try and not hurt anothers feelings ends up doing more damage, actually more to themselves. Eventually the ones who are hurt by anothers actions, are able to wipe away the tears, and start over again.

As you mentioned, you still have faith. Perhaps a test indeed, something you have chosen yourself, (without consciously knowing) to see what is most important in your heart when it comes down to being with another for a serious relationship.

You said that everything was perfect when you met..hold on to those memories, use that happiness as a guide for you to follow when you do meet someone else. Not to do the comparison thing, but to know what is most important and what isnt. Sounds like meeting his family was also very important to you.

Verissa, i do congratulate you on the learning experience. It probably has helped you grow in many ways you never even thought of before.

Are you still in contact with him?

Did you buy the hat with spikes and bells? Even though you have experienced a let down, a sad heart you still have your humour. Humour never fails us.

P.S. Verissa, you are not a fool for what you believed in with this guy. I still say it can happen. I havent given up with the one that i havent met yet. We are talking more often again, and plans hopefully in place soon about meeting. Even though we had a time span of not regular contact, my heart is still with him. How will i ever know if i dont pursue the opportunity to be with the one that has made my heart sing after all this time.

Some will call me a fool, and let them.

Guess i better get myself a fools hat too.

But maybe this time the dance i will be doing wont be a fools dance at all.

Maybe a dance to celebrate a special love between two people, under the stars at night.

Verissa, I congratulate you on learning from this experience. Im sorry it didnt work out at this time for you.


I still believe that one can fall in love with someone they have never met in person.

I feel exactly the same way about someone. I am utterly and totally in love with him and I believe he is with me. We really feel it is nessesary for us to meet in person to complete the relationship. There are just some things you can not know without presence. Like how will he/she act in certain situations etc. We are best friends for now and I pray we will be more sometime in the near future. For now, I can't imagine anyone but him for me.

I think you can love without meeting and I think if it is really love, it will work. Mostly because I have finally met someone I really connect with. Deep down in my soul.

Good luck and I hope you are always happy in your love as I am in mine.

Short answer: No....

Personality/compatibility is only one part of the equation....... physical is another.... and you haven't 'seen' each other yet.....

I say yes......It had happened to me....we too talked almost every nite........I know this may sound strange but there were times that I actually felt his arms around me holding me,,,,and he felt me....the only reason we had not met was do to him living in another state about 3000 miles away.....to make a long story short the feelings were only one sided and the way i found out was after i bought a plane ticket to go and see him (we had been planning this trip for a few weeks) and even before i told him i had the ticket he said he had a friend that he wanted to have as more than a friend.......i was so shocked and hurt all i could do was tell him good luck and best wishes,,,,,,but to tell the truth all i did was cry ALL nite because i truely had fallen for him(i guess he just was saying everything i wanted to hear)....it worked SSB(tazman) you had me going.......so yes i do believe you could fall in love before ever meeting in person.

I think for a hugh precentage of people they fall in love more with the idea than actually love. Cuz you can really know a person's true colors until you have been through that honeymoon stage of " you can do no wrong" But that is life everything is an Idea, Its what you can make out of that idea.....

Verissa,
I met my wife online two years before we ever met. For almost 6 months we barely noticed each other online - it wasn't a dating site, we were chatting with other friends!
After noticing each other, listening, then chatting. Over 18 months we chatted constantly, IM'd video'd, telephoned, wrote letters, we did fall in love.
The day we met we were both nervous as hell, what if it wasn't all that we imagined?

We were lucky, it was indeed love. We married, settled down with each other, then learned more about each other.

We were unlucky, it didn't last. I think there is still love there between us (at least I know I still love her), but we just aren't happy together, something isn't "clicking".

You can love someone you've never met, but that still doesn't mean it's the REAL thing.

Most definately!!! I met my boyfriend off of POF, we talked on the phone for hours and hours every night. We just clicked. I never thought I would ever find anyone that was this compatable with me! I knew I loved him before we ever met, and I told him. He felt the same way. It didnt matter what he looked like or anything dumb like that. I loved him for who he was. For the first time in my life, I believed and understood unconditional love. Some people don't think this is possible because they are too afraid, too close-minded, too typical of society. The human heart is capable of more than what society gives it credit for. If you believe in something, than it is real for you. Who care what others think? They are not like you, obviously. Why would anyone say that something like that is not possible? ANYTHING is possible!!! ANYTHING! Trust me, it happened to me and I wouldn't have it any other way. I am in love with my bf, and he feels the same way about me. We have so much in common, it's crazy. We are best friends and more. I was always skeptical about meeting people online. He is the only person I have met off of the internet, and i'm so happy we met like this, because this way we got to know each other's personality, and that's what really matters. The people that don't think anything like this is possible are the kind of people that go by looks all the time. I found my soulmate on here, and I hope you did, too. So what if you "fantasize" about being with him? You would do that even AFTER you met, wouldn't you? Whenever he wasn't around, and you missed him. There is nothing wrong with feeling the way you feel. You are happy. Be happy. Just let God's plan work itself out. Good luck, and listen to your heart, not society's idea of true love, after all, look how it's wokred out for the majority! Divorce rates are rediculous! Don't forget to enjoy your life, and enjoy it with him in every aspect. If you can honestly say that you love him so much, that you wouldn't care what he looked like, then that's TRUE love! Very few people ever experience anything like what I have right now. For some reason God has blessed me, and I hope the same thing happens with you. No one should go through life not knowing true love, but sadly, most will never even get to sample it. Good luck and God bless! ~*~Honda~*~

It can and it does. I'm another it happened to, and I wouldn't trade it for the world!!
Just because some don't believe it can, it's likely it hasn't happened to you or you were closed off to it.

I believe it, only becuase it is happening to me as well. I smile whenever I see that little Instant Message sign. I can talk to him again! He makes me laugh, we have so much that we understand about each other and I have been on dating sights before and always been weirded outa little. He makes me feel so comfortable. Thankfully we are meeting soon!
Good Luck to you and the man that makes you feel that way!
