Can you fall in love with someone you have never met?

Can you fall in love with someone you never met? Just from chatting with them? Or does this seem crazy?

It’s 100% possible. I met my husband nearly 10 years ago online and we fell in love despite being in separate countries. Everyone thought we were crazy…9 years later. One little boy and a baby boy on the way! :slightly_smiling_face:

You fall in love with the idea of them.

I think u can fall in love with the idea of who that person is, but you’re never gonna know for sure unless you meet in person

They have show about this. Love is blind

I think it’s impossible to know for sure until you’ve spent time with that person. You can think you love (or really like) someone, then meet them in person and realize you have zero physical chemistry with them…and that chemistry is pretty important for the average relationship.
I went through this a few times with online dating, to the point where I stopped expressing my feelings until after we’d met in person.

Yes. I met my husband by phone and talked for a year by phone and through letters and pictures before meeting for the first time. We have been together for 20+years married for 16. 6 kids and 1 grand baby! :heart:

I guess it all depends. I met my other half online from POF, now we did live in the same city. But we have been together now for 8years and have 6 beautiful children.

I did. 5 years still going strong.

Yes, you can :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: Been with my man for 1.5 years. It’s rough but so worth it. Hopefully moving in together next year :grin:

You can love the idea of someone. But you do not truly love them because the person they are on the internet is not going to be the same as in person

don’t trust that … it’s most likely l9ve bombing if it’s just words that fill you up with feeling loved

Serial killers are real good at convincing you they love you before they meet you. He or she will tell you everything you want to hear.

By the way, have you seen the movie “The Act”. Big eye opener for falling in love online

In world war 2 many couples fell in love through correspondence before they met physically

No. You have to know someone and meet him/her to love the person. Until then, you’re just attached and lusting over the idea of whom someone seems like. You can, however, actually love them after meeting and spending ample time together.
You have to remember your online presence may not be like how you truly are, even if unintentionally. For example, people think I’m a bitch a lot in text or a cold-hearted person. It’s just the way they decide to interpret my text or tone on calls. In person, they learn I’m nothing like they thought. I’m nice in text, but their personal interpretation of what’s meant or tone is what makes them reach the opposite conclusions. It’s also common to think someone is better than he/she is. So, no, you can’t fall in love without meeting and spending time.

Falling in love with fiction. Not a person.

NO. Don’t “fall” for ANYONE online or in dating apps!!! Most likely it’s a love scammer, ready to ask you (the sweet, lonely heart) for MONEY!!

Only my kids was it ever love a first sight. With hubby he is my soulmate (together happily 19yrs) but I didn’t know first meeting or talking if we’d make it to today. Actually we dated 2 or 3 months first and then my dumb a$$ decided to give my ex another shot. Broke up and didn’t see each other for 3yrs. Soooo it’s all chance and actions imo. So glad I woke up and said enough of this BS and left my ex. I’ve been happy since.
