could it really be possible to fall in love deeply with someone to whom you haven't even met yet in flesh?

Why wouldn't i meet someone i thought i might love?

More likely to be falling in lust, I think.

the catch is this...the other party is yet available to meet until such time the work commitment will be finally done in a year time.

both have had developed feelings to one another.
and both felt it's getting stronger each time.
the bantering..the rapport just perfectly great.

it's just a matter of time & distance.

everyone is entitled to it's very own opinion.
but,I'd rather believe that it's more of the emotional side that gets deeper each day.
more than anything else's

real feelings from both real people

the mind is a funny and crazy thing..imagining scenario after scenario in your head, building things up.. your feelings are heightened .. I think hard to call it love until you've actually met and spent some time getting subjected to any habits that are invisible in a LDR, since you haven't met in person... lust, infatuation perhaps..

You don't really know until you have met in the flesh.

yes, if you have gotten to know them


love doesn't require flesh, lust does

just be cautious that the person is being genuine,,,

If a person is telling you that they can not meet you for a year then the chances are HUGE that the person is in fact a con artist. And if you let yourself convince yourself you are in love you are going to end up one really miserable heartbroken person when you find out the truth. I am sorry but what sounds like is going on is the oldest con on line.

Well, I ve a rather contrary opinion from my personal perspective plus experience. Have u ever given someone ur full attention over n again and then u realise u re gradually fallin in love wt dat person?

Now for me, love is made up of two things and d same things strengthen Love. These are attention and communication. When these two are fully involved on a frequent level irrespective of the distance, it bcomes easy to love a soul. Give an opposite sex ur full attention and keep up communication frequently, u ll end up loving that person. Bearing in mind dat love more often than not is a Cultivation Process. My dear, dats my view.

I would say you have a connection that allowed you to develop feelings for each other. I would even go as far as being smitten or infatuated with each other, but I think love can only be certain when you physically interact and spend time together.

I think that love has to involve all the senses together! I have to experience for myself:
The look in her eyes when she is with me
The sound and pitch of her voice
The feel and warmth of her when we touch
See how she reacts when we are together
The smell of pheromones ( I know you can sense them maybe not a real smell) which tells you how she feels

Without all these things telling you it is right can you really call it love?

Without knowing what country they are located in....I'm not sure...
But everybody gets leave time.....
My first visit was for just 4 days....only 3 months into our LDR...
We knew it had to happen early to see if our rapport and banter could translate into real life....
Luckily it did...

No.

You don't fall in love with someone until you know them to some degree.
If you don't know them, you are just falling in love with your idea of who you think they are, purely the image in your head.

You can't know someone unless you communicate with them.
Communication is 90% non verbal.
If all you're doing is talking via the internet, you are missing out on most communication.

90% non verbal communication is comprised of about 50% body language, and 40% tone of voice.
If you are mostly talking via the phone, you are still missing about 50% of actual meaningful communication.

If you believe communication is not all that relevant to relationships, or relationship building, and you can love someone without being in a relationship with someone in any way, then if you're right you can "fall in love deeply with someone to whom you haven't even met yet in flesh."

If you believe actual, reality based, communication is relevant to relationships, and relationship building, and some kind of relationship is necessary to fall in love, then no, you can't fall in love if you've never met them face to face.

People can delude themselves they are in love, very easily, it's how arranged marriages tend to work.
Fake it until you make it, then make sure to not look at it too closely, otherwise it falls apart and you see that it's a lie.

I think you are right!

No.

It's possible.

I agree with what others have said, until you meet up and get to know each other in person, you cannot know if they are the right person for you, whatever it is you feel towards them now.

The good thing is you can both learn a lot about each other before you even decide if you want to meet each other, by regular emails, telephone calls, texts and Skype video calls, but remember to never send money to anyone you have only met online, and stay safe.
