Hi,

I was wondering whether you think its possible to fall in love with a person without meeting with them in the flesh?

I've been talking to somebody over the internet, and on the phone. Thing is we have pretty much everything in common, and I think I may be falling in love.

A few weeks ago if somebody had posted this, it would scream naivity, but I didn't know how else to ask. We speak on the phone, through I'm's, share pics.

Please help people?

Thanks

Like LOVE love? As in genuinely wanting to spend your life with somebody?

And I'm being totally naïve I know, but humour me please?

its possible, but i wouldnt think of it as true love, just a fun long distance fling. love is physical, its assurance, you cant achieve that with a phone or keyboard, you have love FOR that person, but your not IN love with them, but im probably wrong.

It's possible - I have before.
But it's just the distance between you which spoils things as expense to travel to and from there. But if you move nearby that person or they move nearby you then ideal!

I think its easy to feel strongly for someone and lust after them and that can feel like love. But love is more than you can get on the phone in my opinion

I thought it was. I'm not entirely convinced now. You think you know who they are but you could be incredibly wrong. Just be careful its so easy to end up hurt, and we would not promote sharing photos of a sexual nature however you haven't said they are. But please watch yourself and your safety.

It's possible, does that mean that you should? Probably not. But if you do, make sure you know exactly what/who you're dealing with. I personally think it's best to stay away from LDR's and internet dating.

Both of these.

It can be extremely easy to fall into trusting someone and depending someone who isn't who they say they are. They may be extremely convincing but I cannot stress enough how cautious you should be.

Personally my advice would be to stay away from internet dating, like Siobhan said, but I understand that that probably sounds like me being over cautious, and maybe it is, but it is possible to get badly hurt in this situation. Be careful.

While it is possible. I would think try to reserve until you have met said person. I mean you need to know exactly who and what the person is like and their intentions.

I would also say be VERY careful who you talk to online as people are not always who they seem to be.

Also if you ever feel threatened or ask to do something by someone then stop talking to them and report them.

However in your case if you think you have found love, who am I to say anything against it?

I wish you and your potential lover the best of luck for the future.

Ill probably sound stupid here... but love is blind to everything, distance, race, sex. It doesnt matter, you can love someone and just because you havent meet them in person doesnt mean you can. Okay i dont really know what to describe or say what love is, like its forum or what ever you may. But it can exist between 2 people many miles apart... it can exist between people that have never met in person.
