Hello everyone! I have a question for all to ponder and reply to. My question is this.....Is it possible to fall in love with someone on one of the dating sites based mainly on email and IMing and without ever meeting her/him in person? Great conversation is important in any relationship but is that enough to say that you may love that person? Or could you just say that you are emotionally confused and being blind to the physical portion of that relationship?

yeah u r confused with lust maybe

I'd have to meet them in person.

you might be in love with the idea, but not the actual person

YOu're falling in love with someone you've built up in your mind...you have to meet first!

definately need to meet them in person

dude from what I can see that is one of the biggest puss's I have ever seen. How much it weigh?

i think your in love with the idea of being in love but you don't truely know what the person is like until you meet..with emails and Ims u just know what they want you to know..

He looks bigger than he is due to his long hair..he's about 12 lbs

Should have added many, many phone calls, also.

I think you can have feelings for them, but love... no that comes with time, and meeting and finding out the chemistry is VERY important to that.

Yes. You would be falling in love with what you know, though. And that takes a lot of trust, in both them and yourself. I fell in love with my SO that way, and when I met him in person he was everything he had portayed himself to be.

No "I love you's" were exchanged until after we were together in person, but I know we both felt it.

I also know my situation was a bit unusual.... and that it is easy to fall in love with a fantasy. Just be careful to seperate the two.

I got you with the many, many phone calls! I've got permanent cauliflower ear!

I think it's completely possible to fall for someone without meeting them. The thing is though, like Lilith said, you only know what they've told you, so when you do meet them, if they weren't honest, you probably will fall right back out again.

I met my ex wife online, and we had feelings for one another that seemed like love, but the real love doesn't come until you arewith a person.

When you are reading an email someone has just written, keep in mind they have time to think, to write what they believe you want to hear. It's important to meet in person to see the persons eye and body language. Yes talking on the phone can give you some idea in thier tone of voice and sense of humor. All this aside, a part of a relationship has already built up over the course of emailing and such. Meeting and seeing if you really click is the key. Good luck!

Cue The Eagle's music:
Somebody's going to hurt someone, before the night is through.
Somebody's going to come undone, there's nothing we can do.....

jus' 'cause ya hear a quack don't mean its a duck
meet first

We are planning a meeting and all that has been said here, I have also thought. I know I need to meet her before I can actually believe that I may be falling for her. Nervousness is plentiful.

It is excited nervous and not scared nervous... right?

I dont think it's possible

Need the meet and greet
