Long Distance Relationships?

I used to think that it was impossible to fall for someone over the internet and that even once you met someone face to face it would take a long time to fall for them, but then I met my fiance over the internet. We've been "together" for almost 4 years and didn't meet face to face most of that time. I was smitten from the beginning, but also knew that I had to be cautious (as did he). We IMed, emailed, texted, talked on the phone, wrote letters, sent pictures and so on.

I think that if the person is being 100% themselves over the internet, and aren't just making you think/feel that they are a certain way then it is very possible. If they are being true to themselves then they are the same in person as they are via the internet, phone, etc. The only thing(s) that may be different in person is your attraction physically (even if you have seen each other through web cams and pictures) and whether or not they have quirks about them that you can deal with.

My advice is to meet, and see how it goes. Be sure they are what you believe them to be and then decide if the love that you have is worth pursuing further. There are many types of love. Your love may be real and grow stronger- or it may be a friendship love or love of characteristics that they have.

Good luck!

The great thing about being in different places is that you are free to experience the freedom of being alone while still enjoying each other. One problem you might face is meeting in person. It will be difficult and it could also be equally rewarding. Yes, meeting in-person will be a rest of actual love, however, I wouldn't be concerned. As all people who meet in-person from the start have a very difficult set of tasks to overcome. Most people who meet in-person develop very shallow feelings and lose something when it comes to communication. Discover ways to learn about each other and still keep your great communicative skills while holding one another. Your difficult will lie in trying to develop those shallow feelings, possibly, as every great relationship should have those coupled with deeper, more meaningful feelings as well.

Don't sweat it :)

this is such a cute situation! :]

first things first, it is VERY possible to be in love with someone you have never met. absence makes the heart grow fonder ;] i think what you have created has been enough to determine whether you love the person or not, love isn't about what a person looks like, its the bond you share with a person, love is you recognizing your counterpart in another person. it sounds corny but it's true. if you have a gut feeling you love him without seeing him, meeting him will only make your love stronger and give you proof.

hope i helped!

My aunt talks to a guy in new zealand and she absolutely adores him. He says he loves her. They have so much in common also and by the sounds of it he would be perfect for her. I dont think that when people were made our matches were always put close to us. There are so many people in the world. I think the heart knows love. If it is love..say it. Alot of people meet their husbands and wives via internet. I would say go for it! But as always the first few times you meet, do so in a group date! Just to be safe...I believe that everyone deserves to be happy and if he makes you happy be with him..

I believe that you can't technically be in love with someone you've never met. You can be in love with the idea of the person, but not actually the person himself. But good luck with your meeting!

Mm yeah i think so, well i dont think u guys are alredy in love cuz u guys havent meet face to face, but i think if you guys like each other online, u guys will like each other face to face even more....
