can one honestly be attracted to someone they have never meet...?

Question

just by chating and such ??

i mean personality wise and such like you enjoy your conversation with that person isnt that some kind of an attraction to that person ?

Answer 1

Dam Nena do you have to let everybody know, lol.

Answer 2

It can. It happened to me a month ago and I've never been happier. Some people see online dating as a desperate measure but i totally disagree to that. When you don't find anyone interesting within 50 miles, what's wrong with finding your soulmate even from 9,000 miles away. When people bond emotionally and mentally, attraction is sure to happen.

Disappointment only happens in the future when people portray a totally different picture of themselves, physical and character-wise online. This is the part where your intuition and good judgment come in. I don't want to sound so cynical but if everything sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Nothing wrong in being attracted to someone online, but always proceed with caution if you're not sure about his real identity.

Answer 3

You can. By just chatting, people can portray any kind of a person the one on the other end wants to see. Many times truths come out, and couples can really connect. I met my husband that way, but it was totally by accident. He instant messaged me after viewing my profile, he said he was from Central NY too, and loved music, etc. as well. We chatted to the point of wanting to call each other on the phone. After a few weeks, we decided to meet at the local shopping mall. I thought a public place would be the best spot to meet someone for the first time. From there we went to the golf driving range, and after that, went to Green Lakes and walked all around the lake. AND, after that....he took me out to dinner at The Scotch and Serloin (fine restaurant here in Syracuse, NY). So, it can happen.

Answer 4

This is a strange question that's has raised a mysterious longing in me that I had forgotten about! When I was 16, I saw a photograph of my Grandfathers Wedding, and in that photograph was my grandfathers sister who was a bridesmaid. She looked so stunningly beautiful, that I felt a yearning for her like no other! And wished she'd been born in my time! So I think I'd literally fell in love with an image in a photograph! So in answer to your question, yes! you can fall for someone you've never met. Have a good day.

Answer 5

I honestly think so.
I honestly feel so.
It is so easy to be open on Internet, you can simply go and never come back. But, being open on the first place and meeting openness (I know that there are liars, too, but there are liar in real life as well) people have chance to get know each other well, much better than when we try to impress with our look.

Attraction born in eye has short life. Bauty of face fade away quickly.

Answer 6

Sure - why not? They might be attracted to the image that they are being told about (which is not necessarily the full picture, or the entire story) but that attraction isn't very physical unless actual images of the persons are seen. But personality-wise, sure, you can be attracted to certain personality types.

Answer 7

This is about you and Edgar isn't it lol? Well I think it's possible. I mean in a way you are getting to know them by talking to them although it might not always be their true self's. So yes you can be attracted to them, however falling in love with them is a different story. I think you need to have that physical contact before loving someone.

Answer 8

Yes, you are attracted to who the person is on the inside and you get to see the real them, not just what they look like.

Answer 9

I don't see why not. In order for this to occur there should be an exchange of sorts ...either on-line or through the postal system. Experiences may be similar or perhaps you share the same views or opinions which reinforces your bonding or atttraction.

Answer 10

more likely because you can build a false image of them in your mind of what they MIGHT be like rather than what they ARE - obviously if your Physically Attracted to them then you are more likely to build a positive image in your head without meeting them - almost a perfect image.......which may not be a the true image of what they really are so its always best to get to know someone really well before you ever judge or comit to emotionally and physically.......a few chats can never give a a true description of someone.

Answer 11

I think that happens a lot on the internet. I think it's because people imagine this person as being 100% perfect, then they're almost immediately disappointed when they finally meet.
