Do you believe its possible to capture/ win a person's heart over the internet?
Is it possible to fall in love with someone who you have never seen or met, in other words a complete stranger? Is words alone powerful enough to accomplish the task of winning a stranger's heart?

Sassy - true. But then the bubble could burst even if the relationship didn't start from the internet.

yes!!!!!
it happened to me, but now we are just very good mates9we both decided it would be easier on us!)!. it didn't really work out thanx to our busy lives and ages!
although being in completely different countries didn't really help either!
but i was glued to her while we were together, i was always thinking about her! and yes, we had never even seen each other! it was the words that did it for us! our true feelings on the inside! and of course she was a dead romantic!
so....YES, YES, YES!
It is definetly possible!
especially if you mainly care about whats on the inside! and your all about personality!
goodluck!

It's sure possible to form good and lasting relationships that have their origin online.
Words alone I'm not sure. You can get a strong sense of connection from words, but not chemistry. People do get swept along in fantasy. Sometimes they are lucky when the chemistry is good too, sometimes they set themselves up for a big disappointment.
Certainly getting to know someone in text is a fine way to start a relationship, but it is wise to remember that for all the words you have exchanged online, you haven't even so much as had a cup of coffee with the person.

Yes. It happens. Go Rio! So True! I met a young man on the net. We met in a time of deep stress and conflict for both of us. We fell head over heels with words and fantasy that took us both to a better place than the ugly places we were in. We carried each other through some very rough real world times and became inseparable. When the times passed and reality became more manageable, we took a look and reassessed. I had to set him free from his "commitment" to me, because he felt emotionally trapped, now that times had changed.
I miss the fantasy terribly. But the reality is: We are from 2 totally different worlds. And it was oh so good, but over now. Such is life.

It's possible. I wouldn't recommend it though.
A gentleman of my acquaintance got engaged over the Internet to a woman he thought he had this great connection with. Turns out, she's a pathological liar and may even be a psychopath who breaks hearts for fun.
Not that things like this never happen when people meet face to face either but the Internet might make people particularly vulnerable to this type of thing.

People fall in love and people fall in hate (e.g. on G&WS) on the internet all the time. It can be a very powerful thing to connect with someone emotionally, whether this is in person or through the written word. Knowing that someone out there thinks just like you do can be powerful stuff.
The real test however is when you meet the person who has so impressed you. What if they write incredible words, but when you meet them they just look or smell all wrong? Conversely, what if you met someone who you hated on the internet, but you meet them and they look and smell just absolutely 100% hubba hubba hubba 'OMFG get me to the church' incredible? I get this all the time (the former not the latter) ; )

Yes, it can happen, but I guess the ingredients and combination has to be just right for it to happen. I never get myself noticed or flirt or whatver, I just answer question and am out. I shyed away from that, but I ask questions though from time to time from email to some who I thought had interesting answers and just trying to understand what they meant or whatever. Well I will just it can happen unexpectly and gradually build over time when there is a unique chemistry or just clicking.
So yeah, a woman did capture my heart over the internet and I captured her heart, but I have chatted with many girls from school or what not and I have never had such deep conversations as well as goofy, humorous chats,our talks are not like usualy internet chats and became unique just because the unique way we just clicked as I said. I don't know how to explain it, but I just know. And this was a gradual build up to over many months as well with closer commincation over time. So yes, it can happen, probably most of the time not, but I guess if by chance you chat with a wonderful unique person and you just click with her like you never had with others in the deep level, then it can happen.

Its easier than falling for a real person. It is the thrill of talking to a stranger, its the mystery, its the intense mental connection without the physical,its the fantasising and giving a form to this abstract person which makes falling in love easy- but be wary- the bubble may burst in real world

Yes you can fall in LOVE. That does not mean it is going to work out in any way, shape, or form when you really meet. They may stink, literally. Have bad skin, or a bad hair day, some little thing that turns you right off. You might Love the personality and thats it.

Sure, on the Internet it's true as in life - there's a sucker born every day.
Here is the problem: you pore your heart out to your cyber-babe, be as honest as possible, and no matter what, all you're telling her is how you **see** yourself, not how you actually are. Furthermore, the recipient has their own interpretation of your words, further distancing the ideas from reality.
So when you meet a person, it's nothing like you expect.
Unless, of course, you know yourself perfectly and are God's gift to the other gender.

Honestly I don't believe so, winning someones heat takes a lot more than words on a chat room. I would never fall for it. Bu each to their own; just because it's not for me does not mean it is not for someone else. People are different that's what makes the world what it is.
