yes it is possible. most of the time it can be better this way. because you love the thoughts or other personal traits of that person. but you should meet and make sure that you feel the same way when you are together. sometimes people can act differently in internet. and be careful at the first meeting. dont go alone !

In 1998, while living in Los Angeles, I met a girl online who lived in Australia. We had an oline relationship for four years before we met in person. Actually, now that I think about it, meeting her was one of the easiest first dates I've ever had, because we already knew so much about each other and had a fair understanding about all the things we already had in common.
Anyway, we flew back and forth to see each other over the next two years until we finally decided no one else would do ... we just had to get married or go crazy. Make no mistake... it was a tough two years during the times I was in the US and she was in Australia. But the periodic visits made up for everything until, in 2004, we go married.
I live in Australia now, and don't regret anything we had to endure to fnally make it happen. So... follow your dream. It might not be easy and you'll very definitely need to be patient and understanding with each other, but you can make it work.

I believe so. Falling in love is the easy bit, then when you meet them, staying in love is the hard bit. Have seen it happen a number of times now. All hearts & kisses, text messages, 3 hour phone calls and the like, then the first meeting comes along and after that it starts to drift away.
So no, don't marry somebody you haven't/hardly met.

It is possible, and after a while, it is okay to meet safely with the person you met. I said "Safely" because you don't know for sure if who you are meeting or not has charges against them. My mother has found a boyfriend from an online service, and my sister has found some people that she met before as well. Just need to make sure you are being safe. Yes, its possible.

Yes, I think it's possible to fall in love with a persons soul if the two have been writing notes over a lengthy period of time. A picture helps:)
But meeting is essential to see if the sparks fly. Also, you have to observe how that person behaves in various life situations. If the 2 are compatible, then marriage would be great.
If there are no sparks, or the person misrepresented himself/herself, or there are behavior problems....forget it!

No way - how can you fall in love with someone you've never met besides reading his typing? I think you need some help or some activities to concentrate on - or go out and find a real person - not someone you type with.

You have to meet them first...I can tell you...I met my husband online in November, we met in person in February and got married in March. We have now been married for 10 years...its a little hairy once in a while like all marriages, but mostly good. We have a decent house, three kids, two dogs....we do ok...so it is possible, but ya gotta meet them one on one first.

First you must remember, anyone can be who they want on the Internet.
Second a face to face meeting would answer that question, but again , I would be very careful.
If you decide to meet , make sure you have friends with you.
And yes , some meetings have worked out.

-good day
I think anything is possible, Some may disagree with me but keep in mind that this is my opinion. I say that if your soul mate happens to be on-line that is great. I See no difference in meeting them on line than in person. Yeah on line can be a bit impersonal, but that's when you take the next step and actually meeting(that's if you are comfortable with it) Some may say that you really don't know the person if you meet them on line. I say if that is true its also true that you can be with someone for a life time and not truly know who they really are. Its all about taking that chance*smile*
