Do you think it's taboo to fall in love with somebody you just met over the net?

I used to be a real big advocate when it comes to being against relationships formed using the internet/online. Consider the distance and non-physical aspect of it. However, just recently, I fell in love with this guy who I've been talking for like a year and a half already. Does this thought make you cringe or is this acceptable for you?
(By the way, the guy doesn't feel the same way towards me. He actually restated the reasons why this kind of relationship was impossible because of, again, the non-physicality and distance of it all.)

I think you can enjoy a relationship with someone you have never met and that would be based on chatting, emails, conversations as well as phone calls. However until you meet the person face to face you have to acccept their word that you are being told the truth.
At least the man you are talking about has been open and honest with you that he thinks there is no future because of distance etc. For that you can be extremely thankful.
Good luck to you in the future.

I am glad that you are feeling a little more positive about the whole situation anyabelle. As for 2 'best responses' no problems with that you choose which one is best at the time you are making the decision. Just give me a big tick. LOL
Good luck and I hope everything turns out well for you. :)

Internet dating can be a scary experience because you never know who you might be getting involved with, how honest they are being, or even what they really look like.
On the other hand, I think that starting a relationship built on good conversation, common interests, and like-personalities can be a great start for a quality relationship...IF...both people involved are perfectly honest!
My advice would be to consider them a friend first and possibly with time, it could be more. Any relationship built on a true friendship is more likely to become something genuine.
GOOD LUCK AND LOVE!

We've talked for almost 2 years. And such lengthy e-mails between the two of us...
*shrugs* Anyways, it's okay. Thanks much! :)
