| Is it possible to fall in love with someone you never met? Posted: 6/3/2007 5:35:41 PM | I believe it is, but from a cautious stance. Someone just below your question doesn't agree, but I know it can and does happen. Sometimes, even on here you may find someone that is pleasing to the eyes at first. And then you both chat. Everything goes well and you BOTH want to talk again ASAP. As time goes, you can "feel" them out by what they say and how they react to your words also. It takes time to be sure, but it IS done and has been done. I personally tell you this because it has happened to me and my fiancee. We met, chatted for several months and then met in person. Mind you, she lived a good distance away also. I wentand spent 2 fantastic weeks WE BOTH ENJOYED and was left with a deep emptiness in my heart as I had to leave. We kept talking after that, got to know each other more yet and I asked her the big question finally. She accepted and we are to be married July 4th this year. We are having a hawian style wedding on a beach near the sea. And the honey moon will be at a beach resort in a tropical island. Yes, it can and does happen...Sorry to those whom don't believe. | |

| Is it possible to fall in love with someone you never met? Posted: 6/3/2007 8:00:41 PM | | these long distance relationships take alot of patience and sacrifices bottom line if its meant to be it will be! its very hard to find a person you can connect with on so many levels rather it be online or in person and its not a force that should be taken for granted if you do feel a connection , kudos to the ones who have met their partners online and was love from the start and went with it ,it is rare ....my experience has not been so kind but I do not rule it out falling for somebody at all, If you feel love (NOT LUST <-----very important to know the difference)) then it is what it is , no sense in denying it ,If its returned even better. You are the only one who knows in your heart , NO ONE else and It can be a wonderful thing, yes its hard being apart , longing for one another but if the connection is strong enough and you are sure you met your match , it can make the heart grow much fonder ..you learn to appreciate the person for whom they are and look forward to a future. anything is possible when it comes to matters of the heart,ANYTHING :).....and yes there is that question of the physical attraction when YOU do meet...if its right in your heart and mind before hand the physical attraction will go right with it. It will all fit :) it should be a slow and careful process...if it happens to fast it will probally blow up in your face ! I know some don't understand this but I been there...no it never worked out , and it wasnt based on looks nor personality clashes we got along great and was very attracted to one another in person but. distance ripped us apart and ....it simply went too fast ...love holds no boundries if he indeed was the one we'd be together today, everything happens for a reason :)...so too sum it up yes you can fall for someone you never met, thats easy, its the AFTER that counts! | |

| Is it possible to fall in love with someone you never met? Posted: 6/3/2007 8:26:58 PM | | That is what I was wondering too. Anyway, I have corresponded with this man several times-He has been calling me and I haven't been able to talk to him as of yet-he is a successful person and I am really nervous to talk to him on the phone although I am not shy. He asked me to meet him for dinner on Thursday. He said that he got quite a few emails but he hardly answered anyone. I am a good writer and I hope it wasn't all that it was. However, I guess we will see. I definitely know I am attracted to someone who is a good writer. This man is a writer in his profession. | |

| Is it possible to fall in love with someone you never met? Posted: 6/3/2007 9:33:04 PM | | Well i doubt it , but i do think you can feel a connection sometimes from a profile even . sometimes ive been right on the money there. One time on rsvp i looked at a profile and had a good feeling we would get on well, we met and did . Trouble is she like most women on dating sites ,(sorry its true) was not ready as she was still in love with her ex so, were just friends . I did fall for her though which proves my point it is possible . Guess you have to have some faith in strange things happening at times give you a bit of hope . | |

Posted: 6/4/2007 6:06:51 AM | | When the virtual imagination wants to meet in real life then something is definitely there, especially when love has set in. These feelings are not virtual, something is to be lost or gained. It's not just online fun remaining safe anymore. It can last forever in reality. The next step is to find each other (make arrangements) in real life....it's devastating when that doesn't happen after the feelings are there and ready for it to be real life. I would never have believed it would happen to me, and I still think about him. | |

| Is it possible to fall in love with someone you never met? Posted: 6/4/2007 10:17:58 AM | I believe to come very close to it would require a pretty lonely soul, and all other forms of communication to be open, aside from meeting... and to keep in touch on a daily basis with it and passion. That wouldn't be true love, however... otherwise you wouldn't have a need to even meet, if love is defined as the highest form of closeness and attraction.
But it would at least set up the building blocks and design for it all, allowing you to truly fall in love not too long after meeting. ASSUMING everything went according to plan (which rarely does; which is why all forms of communication would have to be open -- very frequent dual webcam, phone calls, etc). | |

Just provided you realize that you haven't fallen in love with a real person, just a figment of your imagination. | |

Verissa, I believe completely that it is possible. We all know that the brain is the largest sexual organ in the human body...or any body for that matter. If you didn't have a brain you wouldn't be capable of complex thought...and without complex thought and emotion you wouldn't yearn for the warm lingering touch of another...without the experience of the touch of another you wouldn't seek their embrace time and time again to calm you gently when passions rise furiously out of control. Without passion, why bother to seek the soothing comfort of another human being? And now you are compelled to consider what qualities you most desire in another person...back to the brain...the largest sexual organ...from where all imagination stems and in the moment when you finally are allowed the opportunity to embrace one another...Wow...now I need a bubble bath... | |

| Is it possible to fall in love with someone you never met? Posted: 6/4/2007 1:32:21 PM | I honestly can say yess . How well the only person i ever truly madly deeply loved i met of the internet. WE had never met before , just talked and talked and talked , well after a good amount of talking we finally met . IT was awesome , we dated for about nearly 2 years. I was going to marry her. I loved jen more than anything on this world, well cancer ended that. Nothing i could do . It sucked, Its been a long time since that happened and im ok . I still think of her all the time amd miss her like hell. BUt i have to move on. I want to be freinds with someone first though before i date them and this is a good way to get to know someone Its sure alot better than anyone i have met a bar and went out with. Best of luck too and you and much happiess. O_O  | |

| Is it possible to fall in love with someone you never met? Posted: 6/4/2007 2:30:12 PM | I am in a long distance relationship with a girl who lives in England. We have NEVER met however, we have broken it off and come back together numerous times just because we are worlds apart and I cannot bear the thought of having her leave her family, friends and where she lives to come and live with me.
It will be 2 years this June 20th and there is NO ONE in this universe that has made me feel the way she makes me feel....I LOVE HER TO DEATH if you believe me and I would do ANYTHING for her. We chat, talk on the mic and email each other....and yet I can honestly say that no one on POF has even come close to her........not that I want to......I miss her, I want to be with her, her thought makes me smile, her pics when I see them make me want to kiss her, her voice when I hear it when we chat......drives me NUTS.....her values, morals, caring and loving attitude, behaviour, decency, charming and feminine atitude....her love for me......makes me feel ALIVE.
Why am I on POF? I have no clue......we have broken off so many times that I thought instead of going out and meeting someone else that I might sleep with.....would make me sad....just because I would NOT want her to be with anyone else.....I want to be TRUE to her as long as there is HOPE...of us being together.
Perhaps I am on POF to meet others online and not feel lonely because I choose not to meet other women in person.
Yes.....therefore, it is possible to love someone you have never met.
I wish you luck.... :) | |

| Is it possible to fall in love with someone you never met? Posted: 6/14/2007 3:15:56 PM | Sometimes you just get a natural 'click' with someone. It can happen. I think it is possible to fall in love with the things the person stands for but more difficult with the person itself since it is so much chemical things like pheremones and hormones that has to be true also. But it is definately a very good start. | |

| Is it possible to fall in love with someone you never met? Posted: 6/14/2007 8:03:52 PM | I think it's very possible. In fact... It's probably better to do it that way then seeing each other face to face. After all, it's a persons personality that matters most. That's what you fall in love with to begin with isn't it? After meeting someone face to face.... physical attraction can play a big roll on your emotions. Sometimes it can cloud how you really feel.

| Is it possible to fall in love with someone you never met? Posted: 6/15/2007 12:16:44 AM | | It' s possible to fall in love in love with someone you never met, or at least to experience strong emotional attachment. I still believe you create the character in your mind and falling in love with him or her, and the person you are in love is not real and it cannot be, because you never met them. Once you met in real time, two things could happen you either get completely disillusioned or continue the fantasy. Unless you spend significant time with each other you will know if you love them or not. But to asnwer your question: "Is it possible to fall in love with someone you never met?", yes it's possible, but it does not mean anything. | |
