can you have feelings for someone you chat to on internet,but have not actually met in person?.I speak to a guy and he seems like a genuine kind/caring person and i find myself looking out for him and get that butterflys in the stomach feeling when i do speak to him.I know there are a lot of wierdos out there butI totally trust this guy.He says things like im very fond of you,and i care about you etc,do you think there is anything in it?

Oh gal definately. there r genuine ones out there. i have to say u have to extra careful. the more u communicate with this person u get to know them and the more u get to know them the more you develop feelings for them, so yes u can fall for someone u have never met. U fall for sumone's personality notlooks and that is what u r getting to know rite now. i am so happy for u but pliz be careful

Yes, you can fall. I would be very cautious though. It's easier to talk that way sometimes. I would always wonder if that person was the same in person. I have to question your age and experience. Are the butterflies from the situation or the person ? There really could be something there. What are you seeking ? Was this what you were looking for or did it just kinda happen ? If you were looking for it then maybe you WANTED TO FIND IT and are not looking thru clear glasses ? Do you know what I mean ?

Yes, we can develop a fondness and attraction for people we meet online, prior to meeting them in real life...
However be careful about those that always seem to say the right things...there are very skilled individuals out there who know just what to say to manipulate your emotions and perhaps even your behavior...
Remember, someone you've never laid eyes on, no matter how much you've chatted online or spoken on the phone, is still a stranger...it's possible nothing they've told you is true...reserve judgement for when you've spent some time in their presence...
Some people are genuine, some are not...one of the problems with the internet is that it is so very easy to be anyone you want to be...

All I can tell you is I have a friend who is IN love with a guy she has been internet dating with for 2 years...they have NEVER met and quite frankly I do not believe in such relationships. I think without being able to look into a person's eyes...you can NEVER get a good read on them. I do not believe in long distanct relationships when the people ACTUALLY know each other so you can imagine how I feel about internet relationships....I'm sure some have turned out to be just as they were perceived but for me its BULL!

Of course you can fall for someone you've never met. You have fallen for the person (or the person they might be pretending to be). Physical attraction isn't always the best way of selecting a mate! However, I would be a little wary of someone who may not be what they seem in a chatroom. Good luck to you but please be careful if you decide to meet - tell people where you are going - meet somewhere public - and I suggest you have some friends closeby in case you need assistance.

It's easy to fall for someone over the internet. We are usually on our best behavior and it's hard to tell who someone is in a little screen on the box. Sure you can have feelings for this person. They are totally into you or so it seems but one never knows. Be careful.

you can fall for their personality which will make the relationship much stronger than first impressions with your eyes as they can be deceiving the only way to know if there is anything between you is by meeting this guy, (in a public place), if you both have the same or stronger feelings for each other after seeing one another then it is well worth the shot. good luck

Don't become infatuated at all! He could be saying those same words to several other girls, he could be married, could have kids....basically he could be a million miles away from what you actually "think" he is....so what's there to fall for exactly? It's impossible to fall for someone unless you know the real them...and if you're falling for someone who's not "real", then you're wasting your time and setting yourself up for a fall.
In my opinion, relationships that start off on the net are just sad and weird...end of.

Problem with tinternet is that you can let your own emotions and expectations get in the way too much. Because you dont actually see someone, you build up a delusional fantasy world in your head and this gets bigger and bigger. Eventually, you think you're falling for someone, until you actually meet them. Not saying that its always the case, but usually is. Hope it works out for you though.

Sometimes meeting people on the net gives you the possibility to get to know that person without beeing really involved , which is very good , because you can be morerealistic in your opinions about that person ... Yes , you can !
