Can someone really love a person without knowing or seeing the person face to face? How do they know? It could've been an infatuated love; felt it today, gone by next week. Can this be true? Please advise me on this issues for i have debated this for months and gotton nowhere!

I think you're right that you can only like the "idea" of a person until you actually meet them. So many things about a person seem good on paper, as they say, but until you actually meet them, you don't really know who they are. Love includes taking the bad about the person as well as the good, and you won't really get the whole picture over the internet or the phone. Plus, unless you are physically attracted to a person, I don't think you can love them either.
I recently met a girl through email, and I actually thought for a little while that I might like her, but after about a week, I realized that I just liked the idea of her. Anyway, hope this helps.

That's not love. That's infatuation. Infatuation is when you talk or email someone and like how they sound and what they write and then the next week you have moved on to another infatuation. It is not real. Love is not here one day and gone the next. Its much easier to fall in love with someone, it can happen all of a sudden but to get out of love takes almost a life time (or at least it seems like a lifetime).

I think it's possible. Like with some online relationship you can get to know somebody better then you could have if you were seeing eachother. Some people can be more open about things when they don't see someone. However I think people can also lie about who they are so it just depends on the person.
I've known a couple people who started dating online before they met and some of them have even gotten married.

i think you could love the person to a certain degree. love is manifested in degrees of intensity. thats why we can love our family and love our pets and love our lovers but in different ways. so i think if you dont ever see the person face to face then you are loving the personality or spirit of that person. and that is possible. but what kind of relationship is that? the relationship can never get to the level of intensity as it would if you were in physical proximity because something is exchanged with real human contact. without that contact you are always imagining or anticipating what it will be like. but you will never know until you really get there with them.
so, to sum up. yes, you can love someone on a certain level without ever seeing the person face to face.

Have you never seen "You've Got Mail"! My wife makes me watch with her a couple of times a year. It's a sweet movie. Sure, I think that people can learn to care about each other through mail and conversation with never seeing each other. As a matter of fact, it can be noted that it makes things more true because the question of looks is taken away and only substance is left.

true love at first sight. nothing you SHOULD go by. but it can always happen. meeting someone over the internet takes time for someone to fall in love with them. although it's not impossible. i feel in love with my fiance over the internet. now we're getting married next year. talk to the person your talking to and see if he/she feels the same way.
hope this answered your question.

I think love comes in all shapes and sizes.
You love your parents, but not in the same way as you love your husband. You love your friends but in a different way as your family and your significant other.
I believe that you can love someone's personality and who they are as a person without seeing them.
