I think it's possible to like somebody just because of the way he/she acts here.

I think you have fallen in hope of love. It happens all the time. You like how someone speaks, writes, or thinks. You find empathy for someones situation. You have similar likes and dislikes. The someone seems to support you no matter what. They praise and flatter you. You get excited that this person may be "the one" and can't stop thinking of them and the hopes of "happily ever after". But love needs a lot more than just those things, to survive.
By the way, those things can be very easily faked. No matter what, never meet the person without telling your family and having family or friends with you. And always meet in a public place.

It is very possible. Loving someone in a physical form is a love that will forever change. Meeting, greeting and vibing someone mentally, emotionally, spiritually all before the physical can take place is a love truly built on substance. Its a beautiful thing to connection with someone without the superfical stones that can trip you up. I have meet and fell in love all before the physical and I don't regret the experience. But at some point in time the WHOLE package will have to come together. If you have met someone...I wish you luck
Press on !!!

I'm probably going to get lots of thumbs down for this, but i'm alright with that.
Love is far more than anything that can be conveyed over a computer. You can find yourself infatuated, intrigued, interested, perhaps even the beginning stages of a "puppy love" type affection. But true, deep real love takes time, communication and a bond that cannot be reached when you aren't together. 80% of communication is nonverbal....not the words you say, but the inflections in your voice, slight movements of your head and hands and eyes. You use your entire body to communicate and it is not possible to get this across on a computer. I don't believe that love can exist without proper communication.

I'm going to take the opposite position from many of the answers you've gotten. They say you can be infatuated, but not love until you've met and know if there's a physical or chemistry match.
I'm old enough to know that physical attributes don't stay the same forever. If you're in love with someone for that reason or for a chemistry match, you're probably in trouble down the line.
What could be better than to get to know what someone is really like, without being hampered by attraction or lack thereof. If you love her for who she is, not what she looks like, you've got something real.
Go for it. What do you have to lose? Looking silly? As my sweet mom used to say, "What'll it matter 100 years from now?" What you have to lose is possibly your soul mate, as you put it in another question.
Edit: Looks down. >>>>Oh, my Gosh! My sister is here. She said she was going to the library. Hmmm<<<<

I think that the human psyche is a wildly complex and amazing thing. Everyone is different, from their exterior all the way down to their soul. Because of this, what may be possible for one person is impossible for another. So you are the only one who can answer this question.
To answer your other questions, I suspect it may be possible for myself, but only under certain (very limited) circumstances. And I don't know enough about you to say whether you're crazy or not.
EDIT: < looks up > (((((((CMW))))))) Hi, twin!
SECOND EDIT: I AM at the Library, sis. I am (temporarily) without home internet access. : (

Yes. It is rather like leaping from a perfectly good airplane just because you have a parachute on your back. Both are dangerous endeavors, but I should say that love is a better incentive than a thrill.
On the other hand, what has made you good long distance pals may well not work in person. I have been getting a lesson in this for the last year. Good luck with whichever way you go.

I have eight friends that met here, at YA, and have been together for more than a year. One couple is married, the other live together, the other are moving together in December, and the other is only not living together because of his work.
The first four are American, the other two are one American, one Canadian; the last two are one from the US, the other from England. These last two were the first to meet, and have been together for more than a year and a half. They travel to see each other whenever they can, and are very happy :)
Edit: I just remembered one more couple that met here. They live in different countries (him, in the US, her, in Europe), but have already met, and are moving together soon.

As the first answerer said, it is most likely infatuation, until you have met the person and spent a lot of time with him/her. Granted you can get very close to someone over the internet, but you need the physical contact to fully appreciate the person and get to know them completely. You can love someone over the internet, but I don't think you can truly be in love with the person as you should be, until you have met them.
Just go for it man!!

I think you can be infatuated with someone you've never met, and you can fantasize in your mind about who they are, but you have to be able to love someone for their faults as well as the things you find so fascinating and fabulous about them.
That takes time and happens gradually over the course of a relationship.. so, I personally don't think so.

No, you are infatuated with the idea of this person. You don't know this person, you only have a concept of a person with the same name. Much of what you think you know of this person are projections of what you imagine onto the image in your mind. Love is the recognition of yourself in another. To do that you have to meet the other and get to know the other very well.
Don't feel bad...many people do the same thing even when they have met the person.
