I like to think of it as "I love the concept of you"... I'll know more once we meet face to face.


I agree.

:heart: Is it practical to tell someone you met online that you love them?:heart:


If you haven't met them in person .... I don't belive so ....

There are two very equal and separate parts to being IN love. Both the physical chemistry as well as the emotional connection are needed for romantic love.

A person might 'love' someone else by their online persona but not necessarily be IN love with them.

I have met a few guys online that I swore I could marry based on our phone conversations and emails. Once I met them in person, but that attraction waned to friendship because the physical chemistry just wasn't there. sad2




The question was, if you love someone....not IN love.... but love...

I love the Who of Gypsy.... Artgurl, S1owhand... and a gazillion others.... doesn't mean I want to hump their leg, or marry them.
Ohhhhhhh my nipples just perked up!!!love :wink: laugh




laugh You got your headlights on high beam?:tongue:

I fell for Randy over the phone..we talked every night for hours for about 2months before we met up in person, I did have a pic of him. but he was so open an honest on the phone it was hard not to fall for him. Then when we did meet it felt so nature to be around him. Sometime things do work out for the better an you get a kind of love you have only dreamed about.




bigsmile That is so wonderful Britney and I am so happy for you.:banana: Randy sounds like a great guy.flowerforyou

surprised Wow!surprised You had people wanting to marry you that never met you in person?surprised


NO!! I didn't say THEY wanted to marry me; I said that I THOUGHT I could marry -- based on personality/goals alone. My romantic mind steps ahead of logic sometimes. slaphead

Geez, between you and Jess, I can't make a comment today without it being taken out of context or by broadening my thoughts. whoa

I'm with Lilith -- I'm getting wicked crappy today! *stomp and pout* :angel:

If you love them. Yes.


:heart: Yes! :heart:

Had ye been in love, then your heart would shout your mind into silence for being "sensible" too much.
For the heart in love will tell you this: I loved you before we ever met...but I could not make my brain say the truth, because the brain is prouder than proud, fearing to be embarrassed by life; for the heart gives life, the brain cannot, and both are jealous of their powers.

I love Michael with all my heart.

But I waited till we had been dating for 2 months before I allowed myself to love him. I think we both said "I love you" at the same time though.

No. It would be illogical to think that you could have feelings intense enough to say "i love you" for someone you've solely met online. It would make no sense.

They are not words I use lightly, so to say it to someone I have never met no matter how much we may have chatted or emailed or talked on the phone just isn't feasible with me. Online does give you the opportunity to get to know someone on a whole different and deeper set of levels, but it doesn't allow all aspects of love to form.

Fall in love with the idea of love yes


But that's like falling in love with a movie you watched or a book you read, filling in lots of ways but not there in the same way.
