Is it possible to develop feelings for personalities you come across in forums and communities like Yahoo! Answers? Do you have a Yahoo! Answers crush?

I know it's strange, but I'm serious.

I'm not saying I have a crush on anybody in particular, I'm just putting the question out there.

Between the blog-cosmos and e-mail, you know what happens from time to time?
You encounter kindred spirits, people who write things so clever or insightful that they seem to be channeling your own thoughts, if only you could write so eloquently. And thus ensues the delicious phenomenon of the intertubes-based intellectual crush.
Yes - The intellectual crush may be someone you'd date in real life if you met them, or someone you wouldn't remotely be attracted to, or someone of a sex other than the one you're interested in (e.g., you're both straight people of the same sex, or you're a straight woman and he's a fabulous gay man).
If you like writing and you like reading, and you encounter the writing of someone brilliant and funny, oooh, that's juicy. I'll bet you can think of a couple people right now who fit your personal category of "brainy dreamboats who make you swoon in at least a hypothetical way." I don't know about you, but I'm apt to fall for people who have a ginormous vocabulary of words and are adept at using these words correctly; wit is also essential. I can forgive the occasional typo, but I could never bring myself to have an online crush on anyone who doesn't write well.
The beauty of the internet crush is that on the internet, nobody knows you're a dog—or a man or a woman, or cute or plain, or sitting around in baggy pajamas. Rather, you can be judged on the merits of your mind. This opens the door to intellectual flirtations freed from the confines of reality. Some of you may remember having a straight girl's crush on another girl. You crave her attention and, oh, how you want to be her.) I presume boys, as well as grown men and women, can get smitten with role models, too, aside from sexual orientation.
And there are no geographic limitations—you can have internet crushes from thousands of miles away. You may have a particular interest in an abstruse topic that fascinates exactly nobody in your circle of friends and family—but online, you can mingle with a slew of like-minded people…some of whom may be eminently crushworthy because of their brainpower.
Most crushes are like chocolate sauce—your dinner is certainly complete without it, but it lends a sweet and intoxicating touch and enriches the experience in a most delicious manner. Sure, it'd be unhealthy to live on a diet of just chocolate sauce. But isn't it fun to cultivate a few intellect-based crushes, enjoy feeling smitten from time to time, and hone your flirting skills via e-mail and blog comments? >r

Its possible but I dont know how'd you'd develop one on a person youve never {just assuming} even had an IM converstion with. No I do not have a crush on someone from Yahoo Answers, however I did meet my husband online and though I didnt have a crush on him while we talked online, I talked to him only because I was bored but agreed to meet him a year and a half after starting to talk to him when he was in town just so I'd finally see who had been pissing me off for so long.

it is possible to have a crush on a person online if they talk sweet then thay will attract you but its not a good idea to because it just words you dont know whos typing on the other line so i just say it possible but be careful when you be attracted to online crush thats coming from a true friend

yes and there is nothing wrong with that.. most people feel free to be themselves on here which is a good thing and getting to know people on a personal level can cause feelings to stir.. If you like someone, go to their profile and email them to see if they like you back, that's the best thing to do..

No this is normal,the more I get to know someone the more I tend to like them.I think if you are lucky to find someone you can relate to and the more you get to know them ,than it is hard to hold back emotions. We are only human and were made with feeling's.

Yea its possible, but its not probable. You like their personality more so than their looks. Its a doubtful relationship though.
