a giggle that stirs and breaks into a grin of recognition...and yes it is love and i have seen her in this dress and each time she looks more delightful than the last !

That's lust... But you can fall in love with someone that you talk to all the time and never met. It's happening to me.

i can understand it if someone falls for someone and they have never met, if the two get along so well then to some eyes, it can happen :smile:

smittenIs it possible to love or be in love with a stranger (someone you haven't talked to but every time you see that person, you just know that you already love him/her and it's not infatuation)?:heart:


No. You fall in love with the imaginary person you create that person to be. The person gets built up in the mind all out of perportion to whom the person really is. You fall in love with that person and it's a heart break to find out the person isn't who you imagined him or her to be.

No, its infatuation. Love or relationship addiction, pure and simple.

lust would be the word. Not love, What if the person turned out to be a loser with no job and on drugs etc etc. Would u still love them after finding that out ?...more than likely you would pass on that.

Let me ask you something do you believe in marriage?

Oh and by the way, more than 1 million people have lost their job in the last 2 months. I guess they're unsuitable for a relationship according to you, you know with those wife and kids or husband and kids, single and kids, or just plain single.

I do believe in Karma and connection with someone you've never "met". is it love? Hell, I'm not even sure I'd recognized THAT if it bit me in the arsewhoa spock

As far as online, you never really know till you have "real". This is just another way to "meet" and for me, it beats keepin a bar stool warmslaphead

Love is when you know the person inside, having those feeling for someone you never talked to could be considered stalking it is just plain fantasy world and lust for the image someone represent.

I think you imagine what you want that person to be..how else can you possibly know them? I think you might lust them but its not possible to love someone until you get to know them. I also believe that sometimes we may never get to know someone 100%..we just know what they want us to know!! Its sad but its a very true statement...people can hide many things from us!

We never truly know someone though, we only know what they lead us to believe.

I think feelings can develop over the long term with someone of the opposite sex. It would be someone you have close contact with yet for whatever reason, you never let your feelings be known to them. It seems that would be a shame. I could see it happening if someone is married so you cant make a move. Yes its possible.

I think she means someone with a long-standing pattern of being unable to maintain a job, due to other problems in their life. Misfortune can suddenly and devastatingly befall any of us. Its the times. I believe she meant it in terms of problems they have no *willingness* to work on. If there is willingness and the behavior matches the desire, then, of course it is workable and heading in a healthful direction, no matter how long it takes, within your personal tolerance levels.

I very much believe in the sacrament of marriage. I very much believe in all it means outside of that, too.

And sometimes, for MANY years, too. At the same time, we must ask ourselves, were we also hiding the knowledge of the truth from ourselves, consciously or not.

I think it's VERY possible
some of it may be drawn from your own images put together of this stranger. The pieces of the puzzle you don't know about, you put together...sure...you could very well fall in love with that.

Anything is possible. But its highly unlikely.

It's nice to try and answer for someone who used etc as a basis for their claim but I can't see inside of her. She also used the term loser...

What if I was to use John Lennon as an example... He was on drugs for many years. Still found love. I don't necessarily believe drugs seperate from love but they can be a major problem.

What if the person never had any plans to have a job and was from a wealthy family? This is also funny because before the last 60 so years, women really didn't work apparently no one knew love until 60 years ago or so.

Then I could go well what about the injured who are on drugs and can't do work because they're disabled... Could be from war or from birth.

I look at things a lot more realistically than most and will look at every single situation rather than behind some closed box of thinking of an irrational thought and not thinking the irrational thought through. I don't like people like this, they bother me. Maybe it's because I need to spend energy on wasting time in my life debating with them to get them to open their minds up and think of all the possibilities that could exist within the context or the words they choose to argue with. In this case, the arguement was a failure before it began.

Anyway, back to loving a complete stranger... About 80% of this world does it year after year after year and has done it for centuries before. If you honestly don't believe it happened you shouldn't be here right now. Go incinerate yourself into a fire because you damn your ancestors. You're pathetic for not being able to think outside of this structure.
