Emotional Attachment from Chatting

Part of me wants to meet him and part of me is happy coming home every day and finding a message from him. We are approaching 4 months since the first chat. I don't know if this is healthy for me or not. Can you get emotionally attached to someone just by chatting?

I have, and it lead to a 2 year relationship that was great. Though it never lasted, it do show that it is possible to get attached by just chatting and talking to someone for long enough.
Im always frightened to answer your blogs I feel like you'll burst into tears. You appear to be very emotional,and I dont want to upset you.sigh
Yes I can... Once I emailed with a man for 8 months, every day, many short emails per day. That is close to be together for real. It's just impossible not to get emotionally attached.
But you can't rely on this to turn into something more, especially if the real distance between you is big, like it was in my case.
Yes.

We all need connection to other people and this is just another way to connect.

Some people need physical presence to feel attachment to someone. The need to touch, hear, smell in order for something/someone to be real to them.

Others don't need to be physically together in order to feel a very deep connection. I think you have to be careful about the role your imagination plays. In person, many things will still be new... the touch, sound, etc... don't let your imagination get too far ahead of reality.

Connections like this are good and usually healthy in my opinion. Of course, there's still no substitute for 'in person'.

I hope it all goes well for you hug
I believe it is possible to become emotionally attached to a person through chatting I had it happen to me once were a woman told me she wanted more than just to chat as she had become emotionally attached to me however it fell apart as over a period of six months we delved deeper into each others personality finally she decided I was not what she was looking for and terminated the relationship.
For what it is worth I would suggest you work towards a meeting as soon as possible otherwise you both risk writing something the other does not want to read.
I think it has happened to most everyone on this site even if they wont admit it.It happened to me.Went on over a year.Kinda Sad cause I really started getting attaced;but they could only see the reality rather than a dream that keeps a person alive.And they were just wanting attention,and being online was a way for them to find all the friends they could to make them feel good as a person. ( YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS) So dont beat yourself up about it.sad flower
