blondeaozichick: Q: In the day and age of the internet and internet dating, adult chatrooms etc..
do you think it is possible to fall in love with someone you chat to, email, talk to on the phone etc etc before you have even met?

Yes if love is what you are seeking.
I think its possible, but you have to meet to make sure that the spark is still there when you are face to face. My ex met his new partner that way, but I'm still waiting.

Hey Bart... who is it this week?
It's possible some people communicate better via the internet allowing their personality to shine (or suck) as the case may be.

Thought I'd have my 5c worth.
Yes it is possible, because the ways of communicating nowadays is far better than ever before. The 2 parties concerned would get to know one another, I feel. The relationship may take longer to blossom into love however. Just my thoughts.

Speaking from personal experience, no, you can't fall in love with someone you have never met. I wouldn't see it as a genuine love, but more a lust for what they are portraying themselves to be (as one other person has said in this thread).
It is not until you have met them in person that you can truly begin to see who they are, and whether or not they are the same person they portray on the internet. Only then, do I believe that you can say you are "in love" with that person.

yep sure can it's a soul connection you don't have to meet someone in the flesh to fall in love often the flesh will mess things up lol
I do it all the time. For me its like a speeding car flying past me at 200km/h. "What was that??". "Oh that! Thats was Peace1978 fallin in love, again". 
Definitely "YES"!
as the OP of thsi thread I do believe it is possible because I have experienced it and a good friend of mine whom I met in CS and I were talking about this the other day and he worded it like this...
normally when we meet someone in the flesh.. we are at first attracted to them physically.. then over time we get to know them as a person (who they are, what they like/dislike, their values and personality traits etc) so in other words we get to know them from the outside in and fall in love with them that way
when we meet someone on the net and we have that connection it is because we get to know them from the inside out .. which is the important stuff when it comes to relationships and whether they work or not .. and we can fall in love with them for who they are as a person.. not for what they look like
so yes.. it is definitely possible to fall in love with someone you have yet to meet face-to-face

Sounds like a smart guy to me, Blonde, although I would imagine it must have come as an enormous shock to him if he was an unbeliever beforehand.
Blokes, huh ?
Also sounds like he values the good friendship, and so he should - they are hard to come by.
Yes, I also believe in falling in love over the net with the 'person' ..... has happened a few times ... It's exciting, butterflies, etc... but then comes ... 'the meet' and the 'pit in your stomach' ... as they don't have that 'x' factor in person.
Call me shallow, but there has to be that 'something' .. chemistry/physical appeal ... there isn't much point being in love with the 'person within', when you have a hard time looking at the person 'without' (on the outside) ... they don't have to be 'handsome/beautiful', because we all see people differently, but it is important how that person looks in YOUR eyes ...
I have met some very special people, have connected deeply, and value their friendship enormously, but unfortunately, no 'bang' .... as much as I would like it to be.
"Give it time' you may say .... OK, done that ...but how much time is fair to the other person, you are screwing them around and probably hurting them by not returning their feelings... is that more acceptable than saying 'love you as a friend' .. and let them get on with finding someone worthy of their love and time?
I wouldn't appreciate being 'stringed along' until something better turned up or whatever.
....
so much for making a 'quiet' debut on this site More Threads
