Is it possible to love a man / woman you have never met in person?

Love... well I have a story for you which is true.. My father and mother had never met each other.. Their parents informed them they were engaged.. They use to write letters to each other, back in those days there was no internet. Letters ofcourse could not tell you much about the person, neither can make you feel what the other person is thinking or wanting. Their parents had clearly told them if they found each other not as a match, then the engagement can be broken off. So they were given almost 1-2 years period to get to know each other and that was just through letters. They barely heard each others voice or even talked on phone for hours.. Anyways when time came and they had to tell their parents, they said the want to go ahead with the marriage.. Now they are happily married for 35years and they have never doubted each others love.. I did ask my mother if she ever got suspicious, or felt not secure.. She said that when she read my dad's first letter, she fell in love right away.. When she did fall in love - she did not think left of right, she only saw one way which led to my dad..!! So ya, I think it is possible to love a man/woman you have never met in person :)

I don't think love is necessarily possible. I believe people can have intense feelings and call it love, but to truly love someone is to love everything about them and it honestly doesn't sound like he is honest. If you were just asking because she said it and he wants to call it off, he could actually have many relationships with women he met through Second Life. Its not a trust or jealousy issue over someone you met online, but more of a reassurance issue for you I am assuming. If he is willing to throw it all away, he may not have felt like you did or he could possibly have an life outside of online and a partner in real life who is getting suspicious of his online time or something. You never know if everything is online.

Personally I don't think so, anyone can anything they want to be on line, I think you need to be together, I think love has to do with chemistry and other things we do not understand and I think these you have to be together, I would not trust on-line romances, some people play on this as a game.

I think proximity of persons is an important factor to bring intensity in love between two persons. It is possible to be in love by two persons who haven't met yet, but it would lack a force attraction experienced by them at the occasion of meeting between them.

Apparently it is possible as you have done it. But be really careful before letting him into your comfort zone. I read this on one of the love based forums: 1. Before you meet him or send him your pic, tell him to send his. 2. Make him hold a big card with his name on it, and some mark of identification like a casual signature. 3. Make him send a few pics with his friends in it. 4. If you can, make him give his Facebook id to you so you can verify. If things work out, you can explain why you did what you did right?

For me, it is impossible. Maybe you'll be able to like that person but not love yet. Love will come after you meet each other and be with each other for quite some time. I have someone I like online too but I do't consider it Love yet unless we meet each other in person and this feeling will remain.

It is kind of complicated isn't it. Trusting someone you never met. We cannot get mind away from thinking about him/her, and ending up suspecting him/her. I have had crushes on the people i interact with online, even in mylot. But i have never dared to trust them and a get in a relationship. I am no one to give you advice, but i do hope you find someone special.

I believe it is possible but it is a different kind of love. I regularly tweet to people I don't know and there are a few I'd like to pursue relationships with, most as friends of course but one as in a relationship. There has to be some kind of Love there to take things further in any situation where you haven't yet met in person.

love is come from everywhere and anywhere, but to trust someone you didn't even see him/her. i think that's imposible or even if we can we must talk so much and know her/his number phone. because from phone we can talk and we can know what he/her doing.

Its okay to fall in love with a person you never met. i think you should clear the air. trust him if your heart says. and dont get misled..be happy
