Anyhoo, back to the original Q, it is possible, but imo, only if u go about things the right way.

I would never 'announce' my love for another online, and certainly not when ive never met them, and i say this because i have met 2 others online before Dan, i cared about them and thought my feelings were romantic, but upon meeting, i discovered those feelings were more of a friendship love than romantic as i didnt feel the chemistry.

Feelings can be elevated online as thats all u have to work with, and imo, ppl can rush into thinkin they r 'in love', but the reality is, its prob more of a 'being in love with the idea of love' situation.

My advice to anyone who is just entering a new level of romance online would be this....Take ur time, work on the friendship/social element, and dont have expectations or make promises. If the friendship deepens, then meet, and if u dont have chemistry, then u still have a good friendship.

is it hardly possible to happen?and why?


I do not believe you can fall into true love by the internet alone. But I do believe that you can meet someone on the internet that you can later meet and then fall in love with.

I believe it can, and does, happen. It certainly did for me. Without any doubt at all, I loved my partner before I met him.

I think it depends on how wide your definition of love is. If you've got 'love' and 'relationship' all neatly defined in a tiny little box and can't see any other angles besides all the pre-conceived ideals you hold, then I doubt falling in love in non-conventional ways will work for you.


Or even in conventional ways. Well said!

Very good and sound advice!

It can happen.

Your level of caring and hope and anticipation builds up so much for that person. It certainly isn't something you plan on happening.

I was shocked that it happened to me, but it did.

Honestly I won't hold my breath. Seems to be all a facade sadly. Meeting someone online is more an envision of what you think they are like rather than the real person they are.

I met someone online before and that lead to friendship and then a relationship only to find out he was a liar and fatmouth and everything was based onlies.

This happens in person too so could just be my ****ty dating life! LOL
