Is it possible to fall in love with someone you've never met before?? I talk to this man everyday. He's in the military and when he comes home we wants to meet. He tells me he really likes me and wants to have a relationship or friendship together. I have feelings for him too. Anyone experience anything like this before???

I asked for experiences not advice. If you've been in this type of situation then you know what I'm talking about.

i have, he wanted to tlk to me on the phone, but since we had never met and i met him online, i hesitated, scared of what would happen....he stopped tlking to me and i feel so empty, he made me feel amzing, he treated me like a goddess, lol. If you feel good about him, and he feels the same way, DO NOT pass up the chance! it might not work, but you had all those special moments. if it does work, you'll be so happy! so i say go for it, it might be wonderful!

I have been there. I met a young man while he was deployed overseas. We became extremely close and I came to care for him deeply. Needless to say we arranged to meet when he came home and we did. I won't lie...it wasn't "fireworks" or anything, but we had a good time (nothing sexual) and are still close friends to this day.
If you feel comfortable meeting him, then by all means, go for it, unless there is something legal (like age) standing in the way. I wish you and your soldier the best of luck, and even if it does not become a 'relationship' I hope you at least share the same type of friendship that I do with mine.

It is not possible to fall in love with a person before you have ever met them but is possible to fall in love with an image. i too have been in this position before, i met this guy over the internet, spoke to him every night, completely fell over heels for him... then i met him.. it all depends on whether you go for looks or personality.. he had nothing in the looks department but because i felt i had got to know his personality and loved that i stayed with him and it turned out not to be enough. There has to be some level of physical attraction and people dont always look the same in photographs than in person. He may not turn out to be the person you thought he was as i found out, and you will end up getting hurt. Be careful how you persue this, be ready for anything and dont make quick decisions. Be is friend by all means but dont give away too much info about yourself in case it turns bad and you want to cut tie's with him. Please be careful and im only saying this from experiance, im not saying dont do it but be on your guard. Good luck. x

Thats a very imature concept of love, and you should take a moment and recognize it. Love takes time to blossem, and you have to get to know someone for that to happen. Talking over the phone is not real life, so it's pretty easy to fall in love with someone because there are a lot of things you don't have to deal with. When you convince yourself you are in love prematurly, you allow youself an excuse to overlook red flags when that person presents them later. Call it a crush or infatuation, but don't call it love until you live in the same city.

YES!!!! Very possible. I talked on the phone with a guy from California fro several years, we exchanged pictures, talked about meeting, etc..., we never did meet and I have not talked to him in 17 years but I think about him all the time. He will always have a place in my heart.

I used to be in the military, and all I'm saying is, be careful. Some of these guys --& girls have bfs & gfs all over the world, because it's easy for them to have people in different ports. Don't confuse love with hope and infatuation. Sure, be his friend, but keep what I wrote in the back of your mind, it keeps you in control. He might end up to ge a genuine guy, but only time and his actions will tell you that.

Your falling in love with an image. You don't really know this person so it's not possible to be in love with him. Slow down and get to really know him first. This way your not building expectations that can lead to disappointment. Good luck.

DONT REGRET IT!
