Admin	Love at No Sight Posted : 4 Nov, 2010 01:14 PM Is it really possible to fall IN love with someone you've never met? I am extremely popular with the African members of CDFF. I let them know (not all are scammers) that I do not believe that starting a relationship with someone I have never met and could never meet until we decided to actually be together (who really is going to buy thousands of dollars worth of travel expenses just for a date???) is something I want to risk. Anybody feel differently?:bouncy: Post Reply
View Profile History	Love at No Sight Posted : 4 Nov, 2010 06:15 PM Oh, I think it is possible to be on your WAY to falling in love with someone you have never met. But you can't really fully love them until you spend time with them. JMHO Post Reply

bcpianogal View Profile History	Love at No Sight Posted : 4 Nov, 2010 07:03 PM I think that you can start to have feelings for someone you've never met, but I don't know that those "feelings" are really love. At least, not for me. Maybe it works for some folks...but nope, not me. I need to be able to meet, talk to, spend time with, and experience in a variety of settings the person that I'm interested in. Online just doesn't cut it for me at that level. It's a great way to meet a wide variety of guys, though! Post Reply
Tulip89 View Profile History	Love at No Sight Posted : 4 Nov, 2010 07:21 PM I've never been in love, so I can't say for sure, but I've met a decent number of people off the internet, and it's always a different ball game when you get together in person. That's why I like meeting fairly quickly. Building up an idea of who you think someone might be, even from talking on the phone a good bit, can lead to disappointment or shock when you actually meet.

DontHitThatMark View Profile History	Love at No Sight Posted : 4 Nov, 2010 09:53 PM I've fallen "in love" a couple times without ever meeting someone, but both times(including the current time) they were within meeting distance. I don't think I could if there was very little hope of meeting. :peace::peace: Post Reply

I say whole hearted a big YES!!! I think and believe you can fully fall in love with someone you've only known on the internet before meeting in person. :) Post Reply
View Profile History	Love at No Sight Posted : 4 Nov, 2010 10:11 PM I don't know completely if it's possible, but I do believe you can fall in love with someone's "soul." There was a true story I heard of long ago about a soldier overseas. This girl started writing to him and they became friends. Overtime he started to develop feelings for her, and kept asking her for her picture. She never sent it to him. When it was time for him to come home, she agreed to meet up with him. She would be wearing a certain colored flower. When the soldier got to his train station, up on the platform, he saw this gorgeous girl, and right next to here was this little old women, who was wearing the flower that was mentioned in the letter. The girl walked away, as if seeing someone she knew. The soldier, despite the fact that he wanted to follow the girl, went to the older woman instead. The older lady said that the girl he had seen gave her the flower, and said if the young man came to her, to give the flower to him and to go find the girl. From what I understand, the two ended up marrying each other and stayed married to each other all there life. So, while I don't know if you can fall in love with someone you've never met, I know that it is possible to develop feelings over time that may lead to love. Post Reply
View Profile History	Love at No Sight Posted : 4 Nov, 2010 11:32 PM Falling in love.. Well it could mean several things such as: 1. We do fall in love to that particular person. 2. We fall in love in the person that person is trying to represent (consciously or unconsciously). 3. We fall in love in the person we have in our mind about this particular person, as the way the person sees him/herself might not be the same person we have in mind. Number 2 and number 3 have bigger percentage on the internet world compared to the real world. Indirect communications definitely contributes to these matters. I had developed some feelings toward people I have never met before, not sure that it was like a real love or not, as for me love is a very content word. When I felt that I (or the man) was being too emotional, and it was directing to unhealthy relationship, I would draw myself back and prayed. Usually, it was God's answer that stopped me developing more feelings to the man. As I have suggested in other topic, spending so much for someone u never met before might be a very big advantage or disadvantage. Advantage if you are spending so much money for your future spouse, disadvantage on the vice versa case. So, if you are still unsure whether the person is the one God sent for you, but you want to visit him, then see it as something you do for yourself, not for him, not for others. At least, when things are not working the way u expect it to be, you still have your holiday =) If it is God's will, then He will definitely make a way. Post Reply
View Profile History	Love at No Sight Posted : 5 Nov, 2010 08:48 PM I thought I really liked a couple people online, but when we finally got around to meeting, he wasn't quite like I expected and I went away from our face-to-face meeting disappointed. I imagined him a certain way - his looks and personality (I had seen several photos, and had several chats) but in person, I wasn't getting the vibe I had before I met him. I imagined him to be a particular way, but it just wasn't what I imagined. So hopefully he's exactly what you think he is. I'm with the meet-soon-after-seriously-chatting crowd so I can get the sparks from HIM and not who I start thinking he is. Post Reply
rickc View Profile History	Love at No Sight Posted : 6 Nov, 2010 12:57 AM Viola mentioned a true story about a soldier and a woman who wrote letters (pen pals style) without seeing what the other person looked like. This strangely resembles a book and short film by Max Lucado named "The Book and The Rose" (including meeting in a train station). I saw this film (28 minutes) on TBN not long ago and found it for free on the web too. However, the most recent link I had doesn't work (possibly due to violation of copyright laws). Anyways, I found a trailer here > http://vimeo.com/13052752 < and TBN will probably rebroadcast it some time. I can't recommend this film any more! It so much resembles "online dating" in several ways. If they have a picture or don't. Take care, :waving: Post Reply
