Do you think it is possible for 2 people to fall in love just through emails, im's, phone calls. We have never met, but everything has clicked. He has told me that he loves me and I have told him that I love him too. Do you think it is truely possible?

I think anything is possible. Probable is something else. How long has this correspondence been going on?

I think its possible. Just because you cant see someone doesnt mean you can't love them. =) My grandparents fell enough during WW2 just by sending letters back and forth. Been married since a year after the war.

MAYBE the seed can be planted, but I don't think falling in love is possible without physical interaction (not necessarily sex, but holding hands, kissing, just physically being with one another, etc.)

it depends on how much you have shared. You can only really know someone so well through correspondence like that. You have no idea what it would be like to live together, or how he is with the smaller things that pervade our lives. I would say that it makes things promising but by no means certain. It's certainly possible that you have said you love each other, but I think most people know how difficult it is to really mean it. For me, part of love is knowing the worst most awful things about a person, and yet it doesn't really matter. You can definitely become attracted to people via the internet, but loving someone via the internet and hoping that it translates into real person to person love is tricky.

the thing is that when I fall in love, it is with what is inside, so not actually meeting might not be a problem. Just be careful!!!!! Keep an open mind.

just my opinion and this has been an on going topic, but interesting to hear what others say. Anyway, i don't believe that that can happen. Yes you will get a feeling of closeness and the feeling of lust witch most confuse the two.

If you never met and seen face to face and that is when reality sets in on the attraction you have for that person or not. It's the moment of truth that right there and then you say to yourself. YA OR NA

I think it's possible to develop a strong attraction through e-mails and IMs and phone conversations. I think it's possible to establish a the roots of foundation for a relationship which may grow from there. But I believe love is something that requires more of a physical proximity, the sort of thing that proves itself (or not) only with real face-to-face contact. Until you get to that level, there is always going to be too much guesswork and speculation, too many unknowns.

Just one opinion.

Sorry but I side with Lex and Shadow and totage here...

Don't confuse desire and hopes and attraction and lust with love.

Yes you can "love" whomever you choose since love IS a choice. But the romantic partnership love you're talking about here? No.

You don't even really know each other at all. I've said this a hundred times but the one glaring problem with internet relationships are they're perfect.

All you know about him is what he's told you and what he's chosen to show you. Over and over and over and over and over and over we hear about how this or that person COMPLETELY fooled someone into thinking they were something they weren't. Even if you are both being absolutely open and honest with each other you still only see what you choose to see and how you choose to see it.

I'm not saying you're delusional - it's just a fact of human existence. Our view of the world is shaded and shaped by our past experiences. You "love" him because you WANT to love him. He's sooo nice and polite and kind and thoughtful because that is what you WANT to see.

Neither of you has ANY idea what the other person is really like until you spend significant time together over an extended period - at least six months.

Then he can see how neat/messy you are with things and you can see how he treats wait staff. You can find out he's always late for everything and he will discover you chew with your mouth open or talk with your mouth full. Relationships are much more complex than a few emails and phone calls can encompass.

Do you have a great foundation started and something to build on? Yeah, sure, maybe. Love? Real love? Nah.

Just be happy with what you REALLY have and be excited about the possibilities for the future. That's enough isn't it?

then quit telling me you love me! laugh laugh

seriously, i have to agree here. i believe that love takes time to develop and you have to spend time together for that to happen. what if he has a REALLY annoying habit that drives you up a wall? think he's going to tell you about it on the phone? i think we can narrow things down here, find a friend, someone you might be interested in, but true love takes time TOGETHER. only then will you know if you are truly compatible. besides, i have heard time and time again about ppl on here that have "fallen in love" moved to be near each other, etc and then brokenheart brokenheart .

But no baby goats this time!

Back in the day: People used to write each other alot.
Some had'nt met yet. Yes you can fall in love that way.
The real trick is- will you remain in love once you meet...
