Has anyone ever felt that they've fallen for someone online or that it is was even remotely possible to feel any kind of romantic feelings towards someone that they haven't even met in person from online?

It is definately possible... people even get married - happens all the time... From my experience, however, friendship is always better.... It is easier, I feel, to hurt someone and be hurt tremendously - and then the person just disappears....

I think it happens to everyone sooner or later online. Yup happened to me as well,a long time ago.
Now i prefer to maintain good friendships online, until things can impress the situation to meeting and see if things go from there.

Yes, you can "fall" for somebody online, but recognize it for what it is -- a Virtual Relationship. Everything is make believe; a fairy tale.
Nothing is REAL until you meet and interact with each other "in person". So get to meetin'!

YES, I have sort of developed very strong, very romantic, very warm feelings online...and, indeed, I've been, and I am, smitten...and I've never met her in person. She's THAT incredible.
so if you feel that strongly for this person and she really is that incredible..........why do you keep winking and talking to other women?

I think that it IS indeed possible to have at the very least some romantic feelings for someone online and to feel smitten.

Oh and I believe you are doing that soon huh? Lots of people!!!!
Um, I don't mean to say it is a romantic thing. Just a meeting of people, face to face.

It happens TOOOO easily online. By not having that face-to-face time, its much easier to get an intimate attachment that goes straight to your heart....be it right or wrong. And since all you do here is talk, it moves ahead very fast. My advice...be careful...but like I just told a friend of mine...enjoy every second of it too cause it can be one heck of a ride!

For me, I can develope attatchments, I can even come to care about a person...but fall in love? Not until I get to look into his eyes in person and "see" the real him. Oh and as long as he "smells right"... no I'm not talking hygiene, or cologne..I'm talking about "feremones", for some reason...I'm HIGHLY affected by them. (once dated a guy in high school that looked like Art Garfunkel....hair and all...because "he smelled right"....see..I'm a slave to them..UGH)

Absolutely. I had feelings for a gentleman a while back. We chatted everyday...sometimes twice a day, for months. I began to wonder, as he always insisted that I open my cam, but he, himself, always had an excuse as to why his wasn't working. I gave him the ultimatum...open his, or we could not correspond anymore...he chose not to open his cam...so my suspicions were correct...something was shady about him/her. For all I knew...HE....could have been a SHE!!

Yep...I've felt deep infatuation, that's for sure. As for love, I think it's the idea of LOVE that most people fall in love with. It's easy to get wrapped up in those warm feelings and they can feel quite real. It is only in the flesh that a "real" love can develop.

I do not think that one can fall in love until they do meet in person, however the feelings developed none the less can be quite real, a deep affection and adoration can be developed, especially for those who wear their hearts on their sleeves. If two people were sincere and were indeed whom they said they were, then I can't imagine why deeper romantic feelings couldn't blossom, as long as it's all sincere and pure. It should be nurtured and taken great care of...with RESPECT.

we had everything in common.....i don't get it.......
But did you really? That's what is so easy about being online..you can be whomever you want to be and who is to know the difference? And, sadly, there are people out there that really think THAT way.

I have found attraction via online activities which has led to in person rendezvous. To in fact fall for someone as in falling in love? NOT this pup. Falling in lust...sure. Gotta love those in person "feremones".
"Dating" sites can as well as are used as catalysts per exchange numbers, checking out the viability as in ones appearance, set up in person meetings etc. Most certainly "dating" sites serve an important roll in "dating." Collecting and implementing all the information can lead to wonderful, fun and adventurous in person times per online "dating".

The PC's a great tool for meeting someone, but it's lousy for developing a serious relationship. Sure, it can happen, but if it works, you're beating the odds.
