Is it possible for a guy to fall in love over the phone? (w pics)?

Question

I met this wonderful man online - well he seems that way- sincere, caring, honest, he seems to be every thing I have been looking for we are both in our late 20's both have been in serious relationships that ended over a year ago & both are at the beginning stages of dating again, we talked online for about an hour then on the phone for the past 3 days straight hours on end - things seemed to be going great till last night - he told me he is sure he is falling in love with me. Last night it was so sweet and romantic & it would be a wonderful thing in my eyes if it all were true and he seriously meant it because I to think if all is well he is someone i would love to be with - but to be in love, well i told him i couldnt say the same to him just yet - in the back of my mind im thinking wow this is crazy talk - but on the other hand WOW! this is great - BUT what if it isnt true - maybe he just thinks he is feeling this way can true love actually happen this fast? he just seems so perfect

Answer 1

It is possible, but be smart and not naive. Take things slowly. I'd be nervous if some guy I haven't seen and just start talking to told me he loved me. I hope it is geniune though.

Answer 2

Girl, I sure know what you're talking about... I have met a 24 year old guy on-line also and we have been talking on the phone for the last two or three weeks. It wasn't long before he told me that he cares for me ( I have sent him pictures of me in the mail ); before he'd even seen me, he's telling me he cares. Guess what, now I am falling for him also just by his calls, the way that he sounds, and what he says. I have seen pics of his because he has e-mailed them to me, and I do like him. There is a serious problem, though, he is way too much younger than me (I am 36), and I am in a very awful relationship right now. He knows all this; yet he is still willing to come and meet me. I say you can give this person more of a chance because you are both the same age and both seem to think the same. I guess it does happen because of what I have already explained, but do be careful and don't get hurt again. Of course, you can also give it alot more time and take it easy. Good luck.

Answer 3

I would say YES---EXCEPT---the part that you have only talked for 3 days and he says he is falling in love with you---That's just scary --I mean you don't know him REALLY --just what he has said and he can say anything he might think you want to hear--I am not saying he is a con man because that would be harsh judgment---but these days with the computer taking strangers into your home (just like I am now) and what ever gave you the impression that your phone number should be given to him so soon?? Its all moving really fast---What I will say on a positive note here is this--Lasting relationships are built on strong FRIENDSHIPS so if that's what you are building then its wonderful--find out where he works--and check it out--its your right to protect yourself and if he has nothing to hide he wont care he will welcome the thought that you are smart enough to learn whats true--You say you have seen pictures---And you think he cant post a picture of someone else?? I know this sounds like I am trying to sway you from all of this --I am not its that allot of bad apples that have abused the on line services have spoiled the whole barrel --Just BE VERY CAREFUL --I would hate to read about you in the paper or see you on the news as one of those gals that went to meat her on line lover and just fell off the face of the earth---
God Bless you in finding that all that is told to you is sincere

Answer 4

Yes its very possible. Just remember that falling in love isn't real love but can lead to real love. Falling in love is a romantic notion, a feeling rather than a commitment.
It's good you can talk for hours, shows compatibility. Just make sure you find out if he has an agenda regarding money etc before you move on with him. If he is gainfully employed and well rounded and not married, meet him and take your time getting to know him.

Answer 5

I think this is possible. Look at the pic as a whole though. For most people attraction is a big part in love. Pics don't do justice for everyone. He is probably falling in love with the relationship that you currently have since you have not formally met as of yet. Loving someone and being in love with someone are two totally different things I think.

Answer 6

Yes, it can happen. Two weeks ago, I would have said no way. But I just recently met a woman on-line and we talked on the phone and then we finally met . We just went on our second date and are hitting it off just as much in person as over the phone. She's one of the best women I have ever met so I say yes, it can happen. But be careful.

Answer 7

Their is no such thing as love at first sight. There is instant attraction. Love is a serious emotion which takes time to develope and this is generally done through communication whether throught he phone or letters ,etc.once you are attracted to someone talking to them over a period of time will tell if love has truly developed. Many times friends of the opposite sexes have fallen in love with each other through the getting to know one another without that instant attraction. People say what about mothers who love their babies as soon as they see them. Well remember they have generally spent the previous 9 months getting to know their baby and preparing for them!!

Answer 8

Falling in love on-line is child-play even with pictures. Pictures can be deceiving. Nothing beats the old fashion way of meeting and developing the relationship in-person. There have been one too many incidents reported in the press on on-line dating that turns into nightmare especially for a lady/woman.

Answer 9

At the moment I think he is in love with an "idea" the way people maybe think they are in love with a celebrity. You obviously like each other and have a lot in common and to talk about and that is something to build on that might lead to great things, but for me to truely fall in love you have to really know somebody for all their faults and love them still.
Love and lust should never be confused, they are two very different things.

Answer 10

I believe that is totally possible. If you guys feel like you are sharing all the information that you would share with someone you were physically able to see everyday, it is possible. Just be open and honest and share things that you would normally and you would be surprised at what can come of a over the phone relationship.

Answer 11

Depends. I'd like to believe in true love happening that quickly, but there are too many predators. Try meeting up with him and some friends and seeing if it'd work in real life. It does sound like you're both pretty much set, but you should remember that people are never as true to themselves over the phone or online as they are in person. Best wishes.
