| 1. Yes - Have fallen in love before meeting |
| 2. No - Don't fall in love until after meeting |
| 3. Neither - totally resistant to falling in love online |
I was wondering how many people have built up a strong emotional attachment to someone online prior to meeting.... to the point of falling in love?
What was it about these exchanges that made you fall in love with the person without knowing for sure if the person behind the picture was even real? Was it just the daily attention?
If you have fallen in love before meeting the person, were your feelings just as strong after you met the person? Did a good relationship result? Or... did the meeting turn into more of a fling? Potential scammer?
If you fell in love after meeting, did the communication you have prior to meeting play a big role in falling in love with that person... or did the things you did after meeting pay a larger role in falling in love?
Or... are you just online to talk to people and hopefully make a few friends...bored...nothing better to do...so none of your online activities actually build emotional/romantic attachment.

To me, the mind and heart comes first.
I can work with whatever her physical may be, if we connect mentally.

there are too many folks out there that are in love with the idea of falling in love, this fantasy is what keeps them thinking they are falling in love with someone on line.

I don't think it's possible to really fall in love with someone before meeting them. Because you only know certain sides of them as a person, infatuation is possible but not true love I don't think.

This is how I feel too.
However, I don't spend a lot of time chatting online prior to meeting.
Most of my conversations are about what's going on in the world or things I would like to do if we were to meet. It's very non-romantic dry for me.

You have to meet someone to get the essence of them. You can't do that online or on the phone. Too much fantasy involved with that. Meet them asap. You can of course fall in love after the fact.

It happened to me. We met online by accident, not a dating site
e-mailed 3 or 4 hundred times, and met 2 months later. You can
discover a lot from another person words. Its been over 2 years
now, and we are still together. The thing is, she was 37, and I
was 67, it's amazing what can happen when you don't pre-judge or
build boarders around things as to what you will, or will not accept

Not for me. I may feel a certain attraction toward them. But to really fall in love with the person all the way that takes time and getting to know them face to face on a regular and often basis to pick up on if they are really the person you want to spend your life with.

very rarely do I fall in love before and after meeting. it has happened twice though. it was awesome, because he felt the same. but in the end it didn't last because of the distance, and no physical contact.

Thank you for your positive online story. I am happy that you found love. 
I do believe that consistent communication and attention helps to establish feelings of love. I just wasn't sure how much communication usually takes place when people connect over the written word.

You create an illusion of how that person is online. When you meet them, that illusion or fantasy might just disappear.
I can't imagine being the grounded person I am to ever fall in love with an illusion.
But props to the people who can.
I prefer touch. Facial expressions. Tone. All sitting or being beside me in real life.

I also think that knowing someone for a long time and having steady communication over many years is a great way to build trust in each other. Great relationships usually have an element of friendship.
Spending vacation time together and doing fun exciting things together really strengthen those feelings of romantic attachment.
I wish you many fun adventures in your future!

My 2 cents.....
I believe that you absolutely....can. .fall in love, before meeting someone
in person...
I know its not wise....
But if I think that the person's profile is real, and accurate... then I have no
reason to think...they are not genuine.
And, (for me)...I can fall for someone if we have made a real connection...
You might say things to each other...that would bring...emotion and love to the surface... and if you are willing to accept and also give that love to them....then it can, and will happen....
But beware.....honesty.....truthfulness....selflessness....and......trust.
These are things.....that if givin away carelessly.....can come back to bite you....
And leave you wondering if there are any genuine honest people left.....
I try not to become pessimistic..
But I must admitt.....keeping love in my heart......is much tougher
Than keeping hate in it...
So yes....you can find love.......but choose who you give it to carefully...
........best.....wishes..

You can't love someone that you really don't know..
On the other end of the computer could be a bald, over 400 pounds and 4 foot man who is telling you he is 6 feet tall, average build and a ton of lies.. (For men, I've heard women do the same thing, just reverse the genders for you all) or just one of those scammers..
You can love the ideal of the person or love but there is no possible way to really love the person until you know them..

Love doesn't always make a lot of sense or follow some prescribed sequential timeline. It may not always be wise to fall for someone before laying eyes on them, but wise doesn't always enter into it.
So, yes, you can fall in love before meeting, and people have fallen in love by the written word since words were written down. Well, at least since correspondence became popular.
And just because it may not last beyond meeting the person, it does not mean it wasn't love. It just wasn't lasting.
I prefer to be open to the possibilities, and not to limit anything coming my way. It doesn't mean that I won't take care, maybe even be wary, but I don't dismiss anything out of hand, and I let what will unfold unfold.

A good friend of mine had the same thing happen to her a couple years ago when she was on a different website... more than once this happened. The scammers seem to be pretty good at sending out thoughtful romantic messages without sounding too pushy. They often used attractive pictures and talked about exciting lives in the military or as building engineers out in Africa. They had adorable children and were all widowed. The stories were about what kind of life they would have together once they moved back to the states.
I think she learned a lot about romantic communication styles from these people. She now has a local boyfriend... and he just adores her.

I don't believe it's possible, but let's say you do. What you fall in love with is the image they present to you. Once you meet them, you meet the real person.

I think you can lay all the ground work and when you meet that person.... You can much more quickly.
I hope to meet someone and feel a spark like that.
You can find out and chat quite a bit online. But dang sure get lots of current pics!
And from the stories I have heard from other women....
At some point a few stiff cawk pics are a good idea if you don't want an unpleasant surprise of things not working. A few women friends have shared meeting guys that were not umm functioning, had very old pics, etc.
Sad it is that way.

I think people confuse butterfly feelings for being 'in love' whether it's online or in person. I think being 'in love' takes time and patience in getting to know how someone really is and asking yourself truthfully if they are really who you want to be with the rest of your life and complete the journey of getting to know each other.
I'm not saying it isn't possible 'to love' someone you've never met and make room for them in your heart and a decision to risk 'falling in love'. After all It is a risk no matter if you meet online or at your local gas pump.

Personally, I haven't put in long hours of just exchanging messages with someone over a period of time... getting to know everything about them. I might exchange only a dozen or so messages before arranging a meeting... and then I focus more on planning dates and finding fun things to do.
I'm wondering if I am missing out on building a stronger connection by spending more time exchanging messages during the pre-meet time.
I have fallen in love with someone after meeting, but I need to see that person at least 3 times a week to do so.

I have done both. Local guys, I meet asap. Haven't clicked with any of them. Twice now I have established a strong bond with gentlemen that were 4 & 9 hrs away by car. The first one more or less lasted a yr actively. Had we been closer I feel it would have ended sooner. The second and farther gentleman is an infinitely better candidate and we have an amazing bond but we haven't met.
I think, communication skills and styles play a huge factor in this scenario. If it were easily remedied, I would have met him much faster.
my point is, I don't think it matters 'how long' you communicate before meeting. If you are both communicators a very strong bond can be developed but the ftf must happen for love to grow and if that potential is found to be there...moving has be to be in the cards...to fully explore the possibility.
some of it just comes down to luck..I really believe that. I also believe that like energies do come together...somehow the universe does that ...even over the internets

Yeah, I was going to say that it depends on how you define "falling in love." I've had crushes on people I've never met. Almost convinced myself that it was going somewhere too. Never had it do anything but break like a wave on the rocks in the end, though.
I figure that the success stories above are good examples, not just of how anything might happen, but also of how people tell the story afterwards. People who discover an affinity with a stranger via online chat, or some other interaction, and then eventually discover that they also have mutual physical attraction and compatible life goals and paths, will tend to say that that proves that love at first whatever is real. The same people who also had affinities for several other people before that, tend to say that the other times, they were fooling themselves.
It's sort of like the way a lot of Prophecy claims work. Believers look at what HAS happened, and then paw through their tomes of prior chatter, and re-interpret something vague that was said before the event, and claim that's proof that prophecy is real.
If I do manage to find someone online, get another crush, and have it work out, I'll call it "love" as well.

People who fall in love online are falling for the Idea of the person, not the actual person .... That is why so many people get scammed .... You need to know if there is chemistry and you cant do that until you are face to face in real life ...

You make a couple of good points with your posts. For anyone to fall in love quickly, their heart and mind have to be in a good place and open to falling in love.
If someone is working through trust issues, they might have to date quite a long time before their hearts become open to fully loving again. So, in that case perhaps online pre-talk wouldn't help much. It would be a long courtship... if it is even possible to court a person who is not open to love.
And... I think sometimes people don't realize how much they care about someone or how strong the connection is until the relationship is just about over. That is in the case of one-sided romances where one person is in love and active in the relationship and the other person appears to still be making up their mind about... to love or to not love.

I think people only form an emotional attachment to what they imagine and want the other person to be. Let's face it: Nobody really has any idea whether that other person is in any way, shape or form representative of the identity they've created online.

I believe it depends on the person, and if what they are writing is genuine. If you put everything out there on the table, with total honesty and are able to open up your mind to anything or any and all feelings, then of course one can fall deeply in love. However, as is the same with those that are face to face, I feel that both people need to be able to show their complete and total selves and trust in the other completely in order to fall in real and true love.

infatuation and desire , that's why I think taking to long to meet can be harmfull it has to be right. The mind can build up such a dreamy person that the reallife version falls way way short after to long.

How can you fall in love and never see the person face to face? I don't believe it lol
I agree with u. The person doesn't have to be attractive, as long as he is attractive looking to me, that is all that matters.
The media think Lyle lovette was ugly. They keep poking fun at him & calling him ugly. I didn't think he was ugly at all. I thought he was just a normal looking guy. Your average looking guy.
I thought the reporters calling him ugly was so much more uglier than he is.

I agree that how can u fall in love with someone u never even met face to face. That kind of stuff is only for arranged marriage like in India & middle eastern countries. The men don't get to see what his bride looks like until after the day he married her. They keep their women pure until the day of marriage.

I would never allow myself to get that close to someone online. I do not do LDR's, ever. They aren't worth my time being wasted. I tried an LDR one time and the guy gave me the run around for 6 months straight, promising to come meet me in person five times during that six months. Then after I moved on he wanted to act all sad for never meeting me when truth is that he never wanted to meet me, he just liked having someone to Skype with and talk to on the phone that he didn't have to be involved with.  Waste of time.
The only man I go out with is a man I can meet within 1-3 weeks of first making contact through email or however we hook up. I will not fall in love without meeting because I would never get that close to someone until after meeting and going out on LOTS of dates first. I'm not stupid.

there are too many folks out there that are in love with the idea of falling in love, this fantasy is what keeps them thinking they are falling in love with someone on line.
Agree it's a Fantasy, it's All in Their Mind!

I don't think you can fall in love before you meet someone. You might have positive feelings about a person before you meet and be anxious to meet that person,

I don't believe it is love before you meet. You may like them a lot or lust after them but until you know the person, I don't believe it is love. Sorry, jmo.

I think this can be one of the problems of a lot of communication prior to meeting... if it is combined with delayed meetings... while it can build up heightened anticipation of meeting, it can be very frustrating as well.
