Is it possible to fall in love with a person you haven't met yet?

Answer 1

I dont think it's impossible, when you fall in love with someone you are attracted to them physically first & then when you get to know them & all that clicks too, thats when love blossoms.

I suppose you can talk to someone online, know what they look like etc... but usually being with them is the main thing when love blossoms, the things you do together, their touch, scent etc... everything.

I wouldn't say it was impossible, but i think more so it's a matter of spending time with them for love to really blossom.

You could meet up & not be the same as you are say when you talk online or on the phone etc...

Answer 2

If you have some serious romantic notions about a person you haven't met before, I'd call that.. infatuation. Falling in love, however, takes interpersonal communication.

I'm not sure if you mean a person you've never met in real life but have talked to on the phone, through the internet, etc. If you HAVE had some communication with the person, then, yes, it's possible to fall in love. But if you only have a bunch of information about the guy, have never spoken, written, chatted with him, but start to become attracted to him, I'd call that infatuation.. because it can't be finalized until you really meet him in person. :)

Answer 3

People do that all the time on the internet, and they get married, so sometimes I too wonder if the written word is stronger than the spoken word. When we write we have time to think about exactly what we want to say, and there is no inflection (the reader listens to their own inflection) and there is no yelling (as we all know large print is yelling). So sure, the written word can reach the heart faster, although some people who are materialistic and swayed by looks take from a picture what they want to see.

Dating services ask you to check a lot of blocks about your likes and dislikes and that narrows the search (sometimes it's too narrow for meeting people, for those who are particular, and that's ok). and so people always like people they have things in common with.

So all this makes coming together in a gentler, softer, more loving atmosphere, plus the written word has the power of persuasion, and the internet has the power that people can use it to convince others. And "love" is many things, but it's also like puppy love, you are convinced by the cute bunnies and poems and music people send and it convinces you to love someone without even having met them. There is one caveat and that is, they "may" not be the person you think they are. For instance, stalkers and like old guys after minors.

Answer 4

it's possible, but don't you think it would be a lot BETTER if you fall in love with a guy you have met, so at least you know the person and his personality really exist and its not just all made up and it's not a waste of your emotions and time? So for the meantime, you can say you are deeply infatuated and when you meet and he gets to meet your expectations and he is exactly how he projected himself before meeting you then you can re- evaluate your feelings. It's just a lot better you meet, at least you know its REAL.

Answer 5

I think it's very possible. As much as people make fun of it I believe it actually ends up in a better relationship. I fell in love with my now husband when we were just friends talking over the internet. Then after a few months of talking all the time on the computer we started talking on the phone. We got to know each other in a different way before things became "confusing and physical". After that we lived together for about a year and got to know much more about each other and have been married 2 years now.

Answer 6

Yes its possible, but only if u havent had a face-to-face encounter but some other kind of communication like email, sms or telephonic conversation.

There is nothin wrong in that but movin any further u must 1st meet him in public, possibly accompanied by somebody as well, if possible get to know each other better coz face -to-face meetings allow u to pick other cues from the persons personality wich obviously are missin in other forms of communication.

Answer 7

yes and no. you need to be careful because usually what you are doing is falling in love with a romatic ideal of the person, not the person themselves!

If you think might be in love with someone you haven't met yet, then you need to meet them (in a safe place and manner!!!) and get to know them well before deciding. I say know them well befor edeciding because you have to know enough about them to see through the romantic veil you may have created.

Answer 8

Nope. People tend to fall n love with the "idea" of the person though. They pretty much make up what they'd like to be true about that person and then TADA!!!! They're perfect.

They're just fooling themselves though.

Answer 9

Absolutely ... not! You would have to be in love with your fantasies, or in love with the idea of being in love with that person.

If you haven't met them, then all you have are your fantasies. You might as well fall in love with Brad Pitt.

Answer 10

No, you might think it's love, but its an illusion. I think physical attraction unfortunately plays a huge role in loving someone. How can you love someone you've never met.
