pedro27: lots of people think you can love someone from talking on skype and on the phone, THE HORSE BEFORE THE CART.
It can and does happen. I fell in love with someone 5,000mi away in precisely that way; we both had cams at various places in our houses going 24/7, until we could finally meet. We moved in together for nearly 2 years, and fell apart mostly because of remote family pressures & issues.
My last ex and I fell in love online, and we were together for 14 years. Couples can divorce and still love each other, while realizing that they just can't be married to each other.

yes, you can love the person you met online, even though you have never met, now if you were talking about falling in love before meeting then its putting the cart before the horse, you can love some one with out being inlove, then its up to both parties involved to arrange to meet and go from there
Ah now... you wouldn't hang about to indulge yourself for a short time?[/quote
Well, if I was considering indulging myself for a while, if a person who just met me started declaring "love" I would be a wee bit uncomfortable...now if they declared "attraction" or "liking" that would be acceptable...

In fact, I have many friends who met their love via online or phone...then they get married !!! It depends on the intention and willingness of each party to realize it...!!!
One can have the "feelings" of being inlove without meeting, however the litmus test will only come once having spent RL time in each others company, not cyber time.
If you take a look at what turns people off on first dates, you'll notice how certain things can be hiden through cyber contact, for instance, if the person never washes, that cyber love will turn into repulsion about 50 feet before the first meet.
Love is not simply about the words a person speaks, a still photo or cam chat, it can incorperate the smallest details, even the type of shoes a person wears. It's the whole and not parts that needs to be seen, smelt and felt before one can say they are honestly "inlove".
yes, i believe it's possible to love someone you have never met. because i have. i fell in love with someone right here on cs, infact two people. one was a 'with my pants on' kind of love (grin) and we developed a very deep friendship and we definitely loved each other. the other, weeellll.... different kind of love, (grin)and yes...we later met, and yes..i am still in love with that person.
but i think if you don't believe it's possible...most likely then, it's not gonna happen. aahhhh.... but ya never know with matters of the heart now do ya...
You know almost everyone is so against online dating but we are all here, trying it, looking for love, hoping to find it... Sometimes that special person is not in your city least in your country ... So want do we do if you live a distance from each other and cannot immediately meet, You talk.... You talk probably far more than someone who you would normally date... In depth conversations that gives you the time to learn to love the person from the inside, not from the outer as you usually would.
To me its more of a body, mind, heart & soul connection .... Until our bodies meet
So it's possible, Stranger things have happened yes
