I just curious. I don't understand how I could feel this way about a person I've never met. I just can't stop thinking about him. It's like he's a part of my life or something. Am I alone on this or what?

Yeah, kinda. But I don't want to risk the chance of winding up with a serial killer. I think I'll stick to the old fashion way. It's easier to spot the loonies.

It's certainly possible, but like several other's have said, be careful. I met my girlfriend online, but we had gotten to know each other well through IM's and talking on the phone before we met in person. So by the time we met in person for the first time, we already were pretty sure we were going to try dating, despite the little over an hour between us. The first month we've been together has been the best month of my life thus far. :-)

No, you're not alone. It's not wrong to have feelings for someone over the internet. But you have to understand that if this person is even telling you the truth, you can't really know who he/she is. You don't know about all the little things. You can't know about his habits, that way he speaks. You only know about the stuff they want you to know about. Sure he talks to you alot, but you will never know this person as well as you could in person. If you really must, and it's possible, you can try and arrange a meeting in a public place. Just try and make a good decision.

your not alone, I have had feelings for someone online however, they could have been just strong friends feelings, I dont think you will actually know for sure whether you like the person more than friends until you meet them, Sure you think you do but sometimes people are different online. Not saying they are not genuiine or anything, just they might be shy when they actualy meet you or they may just be different thatn you thought! I had feelings for this guy and came close to meeting him but I never did and now he hardly talks to me, and I wonder to this day if it is my faught we dont talk much anymore, I really really liked him but now he has changed a lot and gotten into some bad things and I dont like him in that way anymore! So it hard to tell just over the net, but continue to get to know the person and if you do ever meet him make sure you are not alone, I know that he seems like a person you can trust but your better to be safe than sorry! Good Luck!

You are definitely not alone, but you always have to be prepared for the worse. Take all the precautions of: Are they real, are they who they say they are. Ive actually met one of my boyfriends from a friend who met him online. We had a good relationship where he would come down for the weekends and what not. There are a lot of trust issues if you are ever thinking about persueing that person.

I met someone online. I feel for him like I've never felt for anyone before, and I know when I meet him ina couple of days, everything I feel for him will be confirmed. We know each other really well, bad points included. I think if you have feelings for someone you met online, and he has feelings for you, you should meet and take it from there. Might be the best thing you ever did.

Yes I had. It is not abnormal. From my experience dont be too attached with someone who you do not know that well. It is not only because you might end up hurting yourself but also something you feel right now may be totally different in the future. Besides it is true that you only get to know the person that well once you live under the same roof.

Yes definitely. I met my husband online. We formed a strong emotional attachment within a month and 7 months later, he flew from the UK to Australia to meet me, and then we knew we were made for each other. I think it is easier and less awkward to really be yourself and pour out your heart on a computer. We really got to know each other on a soul level via our emails and phone calls. When we eventually met, we knew each other already.
Well now we are married, have a 3yo son, have one on the way, and he is a great step-father to my 11yo daughter.
Just finally, although mine is a success story, just be careful. It is very easy for someone to pretend they are something they are not online. My advice is meet him and check him out and make sure what he says is real.

Nope its actually quite common. People sometimes think they know someone by the way they answer questions, the way they phrase things and so forth. You may even relate this person to someone that you already know or hope that person to be.
That can be very dangerous because you don't know who you are really talking to. Please be careful you could be putting yourself in danger and or setting yourself up for trouble.

people online can edit what they say before they say it...they seem perfect, like they never make mistakes. you only know what they want you to know...honestly if you did something really mean to someone, would you tell him? he wouldn't tell you, either. that's why it happens. he's as full of flaws as everybody else, but you can't tell because he doesn't tell you, and why would he? don't worry about it too much, just try and focus closer to home.
