Is it possible to fall in love with someone you never met?
Posted: 8/11/2006 5:39:37 PM
i have to say yes it is, it happend to me, i met a guy on the net we chatted, rang each other an texted,we sent photos in the post an little gifts, we did this for 6mnths b4 we meet in person, and when we did meet we just clicked its was like we had known each other for yrs, we only saw each other every other weekend because of the distance an our children,every time we meet after that it was more an more special to see each other, in the end the distance got to much for us so we ended our relashionship an became good friends, im going to his wedding next yr as he did meet a girl in his own town, so u see these things can work, just remeber this, you can go out in your local pub an meet someone an fall for them even marry them but i think deep down no one knows a person till its to late...
i wish you all the luck an i hope it works for you tc x

Hi Verissa,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Yes, I think it can happen. I spent several months chatting with a man and viewing him on his cam. I felt his body language was very positive. I thought he was the most thoughtful, caring, sweet man I'd ever met. All of our conversations were positive and I fell madly in love with him as he did me (or so he said). But, I think I fell in love because I was more then ready; however, after 3 months he was still chatting with other women and that ended that. I still think it can happen and I look forward with it happening again.

Yes it is. Don't tell anyone it isn't possible. I use to do it all the time with Band singers & some actors. I use to fall real heavy for those guys. Those feelings are exactly the same if
you were with them in person. That feeling of love is usually a false feeling anyway that motivates you to do things you normally wouldn't do. I say it is God's way of making you do things you wouldn't normally do in order to teach us things. The high feeling of love makes you do strange things. I once in the 80's filled a lead singer of a british band's dressing room full of flowers. I really adored him back then. I don't think I want him now even though he is single. I really don't allow myself to fall totally in love with anyone right away anymore, I am
now 48. It is best not to allow yourself to fall for someone unless it is returned & after throughro back ground checks. I just got a con man a couple weeks ago. I don't trust people when they say they love everything about me & want to get married after a 2nd e-mail. After a couple weeks, he wanted my bank account to deposit a large amount of money in. That is a big scam alot of people pull. I told him off & he hasn't been back. If he loved me he would have came back. So it was a scam.

Talking about famous people & falling for them, I do have a crush on Jim Carrey & wonder why I can't be with him instead of Jenny McCarthy. Love is diffrent than fantasy. Love is just a false feeling of elation, fantasy is making up situations like a movie. Hey Jim is a great person, he is not a serial killer & boy are those orgasisms great!!!

Verissa

If we all did not believe it was a possiblity, at least when we joined POF, why are we here?

I believe you can love someone you have never met by what shines though in their personality, their humor, their smile, their ideas, their voice, the way they look. I love many people; all in different ways...THIS is just one more way.

It is a good start. I believe it can happen or I would not be here.

I vote NO way!
MANY many times... I thought I had a wonderful connection via the internet/ phone only to discover in REAL LIFE... when we met there was not the same chemistry going on there.

Like the song says.... "there aint nothing like the real thing BABY!"

Paper / cyberspace fantasy until you meet

i think that you can fall in love with the "idea" of this wonderful person.
just as I believe in love at first sight...But...In order to have a long
lasting "Real" relatiionship..It takes more that Chat & Dreams...
Good Luck!! It can work, just as anything but it takes the
dedication and comunication equal of both parties...Be Careful!

I don't think I thought it was possible until it happened to me. It's a total rush. I can't imangne not being with him. And it just keeps getting better.

I agree with PetitePkg

When I first came on this site, yes I believed it but after being proven wrong time and again I have learned my lesson. I vote no love is an in person thing.

I think this is LUST you're speaking of here. You can talk to someone online/on cam, over the phone, texting...blah blah blah and know you definitely feel SOMETHING for that person...but until you can have those same conversations IN PERSON....

Exactly, you can all think what you want, but until you meet in person and spend time together it's all wishful thinking, being in "love" with what you HOPE is there, in "love" with the idea of the person you are talking to becoming the person you spend your life with. Until you do that it's just an idea.

Those who say "I believe in it and it can happen" only say that because it got validated once they MET that person and it became a real relationship. But until they did it was the same as everyone else's experience; just an idea, a hope, a wish. Good correspondance, physical attraction thru pics.

Even in real life, I don't think you can really be in love with someone until you've spent at least 6 months with them. Everything else is just infatuation or lust. Period.

I think it does happen to an extent, but it is really a fantasy until you finally connect physically. It has happened to me more than once, but you have to be careful. One that I fell for was married and I didn't know it. When I didn't hear from him for a long time, I figured he was done with me, but unknown to me, he died! His wife found all our correspondences and informed me of his death...she was not mean to me, knowing that I did not know that he was married.

I think you can fall in love with the image portrayed in the letters. I connect with words on a page, much more than with a voice on the phone. If he is a good writer and can portray his thoughts and dreams into the written word, I am hooked! I have had to learn to keep in mind that I have not seen this or that person, and that anything I feel may not be real.

Someone I know married someone they had never met. They emailed each other, messaged each other with webcam...they were on opposite sides of the Atlantic...she came over for a visit and they got married a month later. So it does happen!

Whoops I forgot to add:

A lot of people who say it can happen also believe it from someone else they know that it happened to.

Basically it doesn't matter what happens before you meet, what matters is AFTER you've met, spent time together and gotten to know the other person fully that you can be capable of loving them. Before you meet a person whether you're talking online, over the phone, or whatever - it's all the same deal.

Although it may seem like "love", it's just not scientifically possible. Sorry.

^^^oh lets not get scientific about love. If you want to break it down to it's basics love is a feeling stemmed from hormones/brain chemicals called monoamines dopamine, nor epinephrine and serotonin and causes a euphoric feeling, butterflies…sweaty palms commonly known as love so if you want to get technical about it is "scientifically possible" whether it is a lasting love or a fleeting infatuation it is still possible to fall in love with some one that you never met, or at least the idea of them.

That was basically my point. It's not real "love" until you have known someone a while....you can't be in love with someone you know nothing about. It takes quality time spent together to develop love, before that it's basically just infatuation, anticipation, lust, and the idea.

Its possible to think you love them and feel that you do. Nothing is real though unless its in real life. You would have to meet the person to see if what you think you feel is real.

intrigued,infatuated, yep even lusted after someone I never met... but for me love takes time to develop and that only happens if you spend real time and I normally know if it's true love after the first real fight you know when the nicey nice phase has passed and your down to the real you

If you would have asked me a couple of months ago if this was possible, I'd have said, "Hell no!" But my opinion on the subject is starting to change...

I know for sure that infatuation, lust, and desire is possible!!!!! Hey D, How YOU doin?

Another installment in the ongoing saga...we started talking again...not that the feelings aren't there but the trust is not there anymore. I'm backwards, I trust until given a reason not to then it's gone and next to impossible to get back...and yet for him I break the rules...and guess what? Hahhahaha

Love is possible but not advisable, even with someone that you have met.

Luck to all...

Good luck to you, too, Verissa!

I just want to say, I know two people who have met via the internet - got to know each other well enough that they met with great hopes and expectations - and those hopes and expectations were more than fulfilled; both are in really happy relationships now. One couple has been together for years, the other is still fairly new, but two of the happiest people I've seen in a long time. The funny thing is... in neither case was it through a dating site. They were posting to forums around tehir respective hobbies. Makes ya think....
