What are your thoughts about falling in love with a person that you never met?<O:p</O:p
<O:p
Here, I’m thinking mostly about online, but also the persons you meet, when one of your friends give you a phone number and tell you: this guy/girl is just the right one for you.<O:p</O:p
<O:p
Have you ever fallen in love with someone you’ve never met? Would you be willing to meet with this special someone? If so; does anyone have a good/bad story?

No, I don't think that's possible. There can be attachment and affection, sure. You can love talking to that person, love their personality, love how they make you laugh. But I'm pretty darn sure that you need to meet someone to say that you're in love with them. Cause I think of love as something all encompassing. Without meeting someone in person, you only know a limited part of that person. When you only know one side of a person, how can you say that you love them?

I've met five people from online in the real world and they've all been pretty different in person, so I don't think you really can.

I've gotten attached to a few people in a dorky sort of way, but nothing I would describe as "love". More like "If we could meet in person, there's possibility to be explored."

My thoughts exactly… it would seem like you only fell in love with half a person. But then again... I won’t deny that it could ever happen.

I did once and I actually dated her for a while after we met(at school).

Then the stupid ______(fill in the blank) screwed me over.

Yes, twice. Second time was with someone I met quite a few times later, first time was someone I only met once, some time after she screwed me over.

Yes I have once, when I was only 14. <.<
I was very naive to think it could work.

I more or less agree. Although I believe that everyone has a different defintion or opinion on what it means to love another person, so I'm pretty okay with people saying they love someone they have never met.

I'm not entirely too sure what love is, to be honest. Friends have tried to define what it is, put a string of words together to describe the feeling. I've even asked a number of them how they knew they loved a person. It just does not make all that much sense to me, really. Eh. Oh well. It doesn't bother me all that much.

I have felt very strongly for two people in my life. Perhaps three, I'm still not sure about that. The first one I never met, she ended up hating my guts. The second one I met, she ended up hating my guts and wishing I would die in the Middle East. The third one, the one I'm not entirely too sure about yet, hasn't started hating me yet. I met her before talking to her.

I'm not sure if that is really an answer to the question. Love is not a feeling or emotion I will ever understand. Pessimistic, right?

I think you need to at least spend some time with someone to fall in love with them. Spending time together with someone and being with that someone is what makes that "love" special. If you take away that, what's left?

But, when I was a young teen, I "fell in love" with Kelly Clarkson. Since then, I've grown up.

People only get better when you meet them in person, I've found.

I've never, but many people decided they loved me, and told me randomly. It's kinda creepy, having someone you've talked to, like once, tell you they love you. xD

Have you ever fallen in love with someone you’ve never met?

Yes


Would you be willing to meet with this special someone?

Yes


If so; does anyone have a good/bad story?

I do love someone I never met and I know I would never meet.
Doesn't love mean, you feel so attached to a person and can't live a day without hearing from him/her.

I do love Bella, and will always do, even if I am never ment to see her face to face. You don't need to see someone to love him, love comes so suddenly and so against your will.

Bizarrely, people have been known to fall in love (by fall in love, that means the infatuation that people tend to call love) with COMPLETELY fictional characters.... so you don't even get in the showing for extremes.

And, obviously, if one can "fall in love" with someone fictional, then it shouldn't be too hard to fall for someone you've never met. Gotta say I got pretty emotional over one girl I met online.
