falling for someone you never met
Uhm one question starts to bug my braincells out of my hard skull... Is it possible for someone to fall for somebody you never actually met? I mean you don't even know if he or she really exists... would it be possible? or is it just for films and teleseryes? I know you'd find me weird and wait this is just a hypothetical question... nothing more nothing less...
movies like the lake house though projects that it is not impossible but it is an exaggeration to communicate through a mailbox... in the real world we may relate this to texting or chatting which is not so less than possible. i've bumped into some thread at pinoyexchange.com or PEX with the title which goes something like... " would you introduce a person you met online to your parents?" hmmm though never scanned the thread but the title says it all... well it could be next to the question in mind... will it be possible to fall?
I know couples struggle to maintain relationships, couples who have all the time to attend to their partners, be with their partners every now and then... long distance relationships do also work at times but long distance relationship with someone you've never actually met.... would that work? when all the other, struggles with their relationships how much more a new one with the said arrangement....
It would be a risk on hell... it is like suicide after knowing that you'll die tomorrow... hehehe
besides it would be some kinda' weird to do the courting over the cyberspace... where would sincerity be tested? in the times you've actually talk? with webcams and headphones? with tangible pictures or may be monitors... hahaha or with the emoticons used... well it could all be faked... sorry to those who engage in this practice but maybe i'm not just sold out to the idea yet...
I don't know... i just can't imagine right now having that kind of relationship... serious relationship that is... maybe in time i'll know the answer to this question that lingers in my mind... for the mean time I'll try to be just me... if i fall then good if not then it doesn't matter.... you'll never know 'til you'll be on the others' shoes... hehehe

Ditto. I guess, these virtual ways of meeting people are just for meeting people. If they want to move their acquaintance to the next level, then virtuality should be moved accordingly :)
a hundred e-mails can not compensate for a touch ;)
well it's really hard to commit to someone who you haven't met yet.. it's still different when you have that physical bond. but i do believe in soulmates & destiny.. if you can give yourselves a shot & make it a "real" relationship then why not? after all life is all about taking risks. : )
I agree with fracturedfingertips. If they are serious enough, they will get out of the virtual environment and make it a real relationship.
That's what happened to me. I met someone accidentally in an online community. I wasn't looking nor was he but things fell into place and we fell in love without knowing each other's faces etc.. We never did webcam or voice chat. We just decided to meet one day and that's where we started.
We spent our first anniversary last June ;)
The thing is, love really is mysterious (no matter how cliche that sounds). It does things to people.
