Is it possible to fall in love with someone you never met?Page 60 of 61    (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61)
Yes it's possible. I had a dream once, I was on my back and this beautiful woman was on top of me, she got me so excited that the dream ended, but I don't think I had met or had seen her before.

There Are some DDG women, here....
Unfortunately, the ~Conceit-Factor~ mandates a _minimum_ of a 2-point reduction...rating-wise!
I'm just hoping for that 'Chemistry' with a nice lady that finds me as interesting as I find her!
All she really has to do is show some return interest to a 1 st contact.

That's a tough one. I suppose it would be possible. Can't say I have ever experienced it and would imagine that would be kind of strange but sure...

I believe it can happen.

It happens all the time. Why do you think hot looking movie stars get fan mail from people writing them love letters and asking to marry them? Same thing with rock/rap/bunny-I mean hip hop stars. How many women here had huge crushes on the teeny bopper stars of the day when they were tweens? Almost all.

No, it's not possible. Falling in love with someone you never met is a type of transference experience.

It's possible to have feelings for the picture someone's painted of themselves. For the few times it's happened, when I meet them, their picture of them is skewed. Most people don't have an accurate mirror of themselves, that's why long distance so often doesn't work, so rarely it's borderline insanity. You should be suspicious of anyone who seeks out a long distance relationship for SOOO many reasons.

I'm extremely skeptical. Yet it can sure feel like it sometimes. I know I feel that way about Nong Toom. And Ill-Esha (though I have met her, but I felt the same way about her before I met her as I do now...which is madly in love).

I know I feel in love with them, but I can't really know for sure until I spend lots of time with them, in person, one on one.

I think you can fall in love with a person's public image though. The way they portray themselves, online or wherever. But that's only a shadow of who they really are.

I am living proof that you can fall in love with someone before meeting them.

Met my wife on a local BBS (pre-internet message board and chat system), chatted for weeks and she told me that she was in love with me before we actually met for the first time.

18 years later, have a 13 year old daughter and are still going strong.

So yes, it can happen.

How can someone make you so happy and fulfilled when you've never laid eyes on one another? Is it possible?
Only in your imagination. It's only real when you meet, if it holds up. Chances are once you meet and spend time together, you will both realize it was an illusion.

There is a higher Force at work here
that non believers are dismissing
gingerly ....until they get caught themselves !
Some people will just connect right away,
no matter what the means of communication is
at the time !
Even IceMan is not immune...and that
is saying a lot !

I would have said an emphatic NO prior to joining this site. But when I first joined, it happened to me. I knew that what I was falling in love with was a fantasy, but that didn't stop it from happening..

I will never again allow feelings to grow if I am unable to meet them. I have kept to it all these years later, so in that sense I am grateful for the lesson.

It is kind of interesting when you think about it though.. it makes you question whether falling in love in real life even, is just a fantasy..

It is possible, and yes, I've experienced it.

The reason it's possible is that a primary means of becoming intimate is communication. However, even if that's true, virtual communication is insufficient for determining one's romantic compatibility (which is different from falling in love). You won't know if you're a match until you meet. However, you can develop strong feelings, even love, for someone by virtual means alone.

Imagine spending fifty years in a room with someone, separated by an impenetrable glass barrier. You could talk and see each other but could never physically touch. You get along extremely well and learn pretty much everything about each other.

Do you believe it would be likely or impossible that you could fall in love with each other? If you believe it's likely or possible, then congratulations, you are now a believer in virtual love.

No. From my experience a lot of people online are just so desperate they think they are in love every time they talk to someone for awhile on one of these sites. No way you can truly love someone without being with them and finding out what they are really like. Like Bruce Springsteen says, it's all about the "human touch."

Mike WM remarkable reply

I am sure on sites such as this, it is possible to feel a draw toward a profile pic and the written word. If you meet, and it works out, well I suppose that is when it is possible to say yes you can. It is purely a coincidence - too many such initial responses never get beyond a reply to a written word.

you can certainly fall in love - deffinately - possible - if a mans physical apperance is important, which it is to me, -the way he maintains his life and life style the way he dresses and speaks, the way he treats me etc is all assertainable by email, they give you a broad view and even if he cleans his teeth regularly, cleans his car and changes his clothes, etc ask the vital things you need answers to, see how he responds and see if you share similar standards.
A love connection can be felt by email and made real,- many do and have successfully.
Sounds exciting for you.

You will meet him. You will immediately have sex. And the relationship will be over in less than three months.

Remember, you heard it hear first.

I've read every post here. 5643 people said NO, 3541 people said YES, 1745 people said maybe and I still can't figure out what Sharon said.

NO. That's just a fantasy that happens often to people who are new to internet dating. Those of us who have been here awhile know not to trust that feeling and that all bets are off till you meet face to face. I'll take it a step futher and say I prefer meeting people within a few days of communicating. The longer you keep up the "fantasy" without meeting, the more likely you will be disappointed. Expectations just get bigger and bigger the more you communicate without having met in person.

~OT~ Of course it is. I've deeply loved very few people in my lifetime. Of those I have? Two I have never met. Those two, one man and one woman ~ I hold deeply in my heart/head/soul. I have no intent on meeting either of those two in person, yet when it comes to tried/true love? I speak of those two people first and foremost. Personally? I think this is where most people online get a skewed perception. We profess to "love the person for who they are" not "what they look like" but those are the same people who think you can't "love" without a physical presence. I can love deeply, honestly and without constraints, if the person I love is true of heart, soul, mind. That takes NO physical presence. Therefor? My opinion is that? Yes, indeed!!! You can love someone you've never met. (I get the whole arguement on the topic, however? I think many forget ~~~ love is not just about "romantic" love...there are all types of love. Sad so few clause that in.) JMO
