If none of it can be explained, then why is the airy-fairy question being asked and answered?
If something works for someone, or for two people together, why should another opinion about it not being viable, or sane make any difference?
Totally agree Jac! Everyone is differant. There are those on here that have fallen in love at a distance,met,and are now together. Who can deny that? Can i pull your pigtails?
I feel certain with Time, Mails, phone calls, over a long duration, can build strong emotional attachments.
It May be Deceptional to the mind, But I think Love is established after two have Met and spend some time together, As Lori explained, It Completes the Cycle of what has been Previously established...

jac379: Perhaps we could describe the processes of our brain and senses here?
If we look at the colour turquoise, our senses may pick up on different wavelengths of colour - some may see blue, some green/blue, some green.
Each of may interpret that colour with our knowledge and experience differently - some may feel turquoise as a cold colour, others refreshing, invigorating, or calming.
Which person is having their brain and senses tricked and which person is 'right'?
Or do we all just make sense of our own worlds in our own way?
Unless someone comes up with the definition what real love ,or love ,is ,how long ,how strong ,does it have a expiration date,manual , warranty...we will have the right and freedom to perceive love anyway we want . Which person is having their brain and senses tricked and which person is 'right'? Thats not easy to answer or always clear ... there are cases when we or someone is deliberately manipulating someone for a gain (material gain ,job promotion ,another notch,prestige )

2intrigued: Hiya Jac I believe love is as variable and unique as the individual is. A blind person cannot see but can certainly feel love as it is perceived by them. Love really is a complex thing to define and being an emotion of sorts, it truly is impossible to give a concrete definition or even a right or wrong.
Absolutely. Many define romantic love as a meeting of the minds, the sharing of one's most inner self with one another - is that not possible through verbal communication alone? Yes the physical side of it is very important as an expression of one's love, but it's not exclusively what causes or creates love between two people.

So, are you saying, 'who gives a stuff what other people do, as long as it works for them and they're not deliberately, or carelessly hurting others'?

Im saying, or at least I tried to say ,in my own twisted way that it is very possible to fall in love with someone you have never met

I share your sentiments LD. Verbal communication encompassing shared feelings/sentiments can build strong emotional bonds with another without actually meeting. Once a meeting occurs, all that was built can grow into something amazing or it can come crashing down.

jac379: Do you think there's an element of choice in it?
I knew this quote would come handy someday ...
Morpheus;
You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

LadyDiz: And to you my fellow traveller on the road to wisdom.
Thank you.
HotrodLarrys: I Do, We Either allow Love in, or we reject it by our own mindset!
Choice.

Yes, Conscientiously, or Sub-conscientiously we Choose who we decide to let close enough to enter into our space...Sometimes that can Lead to Love... We also choose who NOT to let in!

Okay, now I'm interested in 'risk'.
We might develop an emotional bond with others (whether that's friendship, or more than friendship) and as 2I said, that bond might develop in each others presence, or come crashing down.
Is it a case of whether it's 'possible', or is it about our 'risk' choices?

hiya jac
perhaps a combo? i'm not much of a risk taker...so i end up limiting myself...

I agree what 2I Said as well, I would say some of Both.... and yes it is a Choice to take the risk, or a gamble as well....We Never know the outcome....

jono7: hiya jac

but i like to think most anything is possible...
So, are you saying it's not possible if you don't take the risk?
This puts me in mind of research methodology where you can prove a link doesn't exist, but you can only demonstrate a probability, rather than prove something to be true.

hmmmm.....i'm not sure. i guess it depends on how one looks at it. does falling in love 'always' feel like a risk? (love those absolutes...)
i think for some folks, falling in love might feel like they are taking risks...but for others, not so much...
speaking for myself, loving someone...doesn't feel like i'm taking a risk. i'm choosing love. but sometimes, with that love, there are situations or some boundary pushing, expansion...that does feel like i am taking risks...

But what exactly is the risk? Now I'm not referring to those situations where financial loss etc. may be involved, but where all you are risking is getting hurt. Why are we so afraid of getting hurt when we can recover and do.
