can you fall in love with someone, you have never met?

Well will i fall in love or not that i can not. Because love can not ask before fall in. But if you ask my opinion then i will say no. I would like to meet a person then fall in love with him.

Love is a powerful emotion. If you have never met someone, how can you truly know them? How could love be a consideration. Infatuation may be a better word to express what you feel. Love is a bond of trust and commitment. You can't have that with a stranger and have it be real.

I think it is not possible, but not impossible as well. But most certainly i believe that it can never be a deep feeling of love or infatuation until you have met the person.

I really don't think so. I might have a general love for their well being, but in order to get to some romantic point, I am fairly certain I'd have to meet them. First off, men are inherently visually stimulated, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I know some girls that I am friends with, that are very pretty, but just not very attractive to me. Again, very pretty, and many guys are attracted to them, but just not me. If I 'fell in love' with someone I'd never seen, never met, and had no idea what they looked like, I could show up and be uninterested. I have met couples that were absolutely convinced they were in love, and on their first meeting, completely fell apart. I knew a guy who flew to Canada to meet a girl, and canceled he ticket for the second meeting, and within a month, they were separated. I knew another guy who met a girl through a dating service, and when he showed up, she was 30 cm taller than him. He drove pasted, went back home, and called off. So I think I would have to see this other person. I mean literally see them. Not a fuzzy 5x5 web-cam image over the internet either. Second... in this day and age, people can lie. And they lie a lot. They can fake anything. Tell you all kinds of things, that may not be true at all. I would need to see that they really are, who they say they are. Even then, that wouldn't prevent anyone from deceiving you, but it would at least lower the chances. Consider just me and you, right now. I could tell you anything, and there would be no real way to prove any of it. I have long hair. Short hair. I went to the store today. I stayed home and watched a movie. I know how to play music. I love fish. How do you if any of that is true? Similarly, if I met a girl online, how could I really know anything about her? She could send me a photo, but you can go online and download a photos of a billion women, of all shapes colors and sizes. She could tell me she's sweet and nice, but people can fake that. What do you think "actors" do? How do I know any of what she says is true? Well, meeting someone in real life, would help that. It wouldn't be 100%, but its far better than trusting some random person over the internet.

i think i cannot love someone without meeting ....to love somebody you need to know him...and without meeting you can never be sure of truthfulness....because on net or on phone or through any medium where you cannot meet you cannot be sure whether the one is genuine or not may be this is because i cannot trust anyone easily....

:D lol. My current boyfriend and I met online. Yes, I agree with you we can't control our feelings.

It's a strange situation that is difficult to deal with since you really can't get to KNOW the person online, but there sure can be feelings for someone you talk to on here. The real problem is that you really don't know if what you are being told is the truth or not. I think it is possible to fall in love with someone you have never met, whether the information you are getting is the truth or not. And I will agree that it's not in our hands.

yes, id been in love not once nor twice but thrice! to persons id just met online, and mere text-mate ,haha! but the first was the worse ever. but then cant complain he'd thought me love-unconditionally, :D and lot of things. i enjoyed moments with him though. so there!

Hey Crazy_Poster! I think that what my friend Derek said was the truest response. I also think people fall in love with "an idea" of maybe being in love with someone they never met. I know that people say it's possible and I've had a few online "crushes", but I don't know about falling in love, although I wouldn't completely rule it out since it has happened here on this very site to so me myLot friends of mine!

actually am happy for you for you instinctively know that love takes commitment and maturity. it is but normal to get very much attached and attracted to a person we hardly know but in the end it is both people's capability to cope with each other (which usually means interaction in person) that spells real love in the end.

ya, it depends from person to person. Not every one falls in love at first sight. Knowing the person is sometimes very important. We human beings have a tendency to get carried away with outer beauty. There may be a little chance that outer beauty may be same as the inner beauty but most of the times its the other way round. People looking beautiful may not necessarily be beautiful inside. So you should definitely know the person before falling in love.

I believe its can be happen to all of us. But I have not ever dealing with it, I always need to see the person first before I feel something because chemistry really important. One of my friend meet his husband in the internet after 4 years talking and emailing they meet for the first time and decide to marriage.

i think it depends on meeting in reality. the feeling on line maybe good . but if you only communicate each other on line ..no more further action .. i used to be no result.

I can not fall in love with a woman, if only via chat or phone. I was the type of people are selective in choosing girlfriends, so I would like him or not after I met her.

I think that you will honestly think that you are in love with the person that you have been getting to know. Now regarding the appearance portion, if you are attracted to them once you see them is a option to go either way. When you get to know someone that you have never met live and in person, you fall for who they portray their self to be. As long as thats who they really are then you are good to go!!

Bit difficult I suppose. We may like a person. Falling in love may happen after meeting when the portrait we have made in our mind of the person with online interaction matches with the person in real. Otherwise it may remain at the level of liking or may vanish also.

When you say can we fall in love with someone we have not yet met: I think sometimes we fall in love with the image we portrayed in our mind, then when we meet this person he/she is completely different of what we imagined them to be. I believe this is why it doesn't work out. I have always said, I am a great, descent and honest person, so if I go online I just may meet someone just like me. Not everyone in the entire world is bad. Online dating is really no different than if you met someone in a park, grocery store and or bar. As when you begin to really get to know the person they may not be all we thought they were. We just have to be a bit more cautious is all. If we know up front that well it just didn't work out. We will a okay. :)
