Is it possible to fall in love with someone you have never met? (163)

Yes but when you meet face to face then that will be the test of how in love u real might be

first time i read that... i thought you said, 'up ended'....and i was having quite a bit of fun with the visual....

That's not what I meant at all, you cynical old goat Dizzy!

I think I meant more along the lines of enjoy what you've got, enjoy things for what they are, living in the moment.

I realise this is perhaps unusual for me not to dissect everything, but if two people, whatever their relationship, whatever medium, have their lives enriched by the contact, does it really matter what may, or may not happen in a future that for most part we cannot know?

Does it really matter if someone else's perception of an enriched life is not exactly the same as your perception of an enriched life, if you both feel enriched?

Perhaps it's just a matter of knowing what is not dissect-able. When two people see the colour blue, they both might call it blue, but there's no guarantee they're seeing exactly the same colour. Does it stop them from both enjoying looking at that colour and doing it together?

Hell, I've dissected anyway, haven't I?

potential and projection...two things better left out of love...

i'm a novice too...and because i am not sure, i prefer to focus on 'being love', rather than 'in love'.
a sharing of the mind and soul that leads to deep love is far more attractive to me with or sans the physical intimacy, albeit with the hope for both.

for me...

'be love' reminds me that a relationship is a place to give.
'in love' conjures up a lot of expectations..

No way

I really dunno....

I was very much in love with Faye Dunaway once and I never met her!






Then later it was:
Meryl Streep
Romy Schneider
Hema Malini
Julie Christie
Cybill Shepherd

Never met any of them either...
