"I fell in love with someone online"

Is there something pathological about this?

I just find that if you haven’t met someone in real life or talked to them substantially, how can you fall in love with a bunch of text messages over the internet??

Something seriously pathological about this.

Perhaps not love but I'm sure ppl can connect to quite a deep level online or by phone if they're talking regularly..

I know of quite a few white couples who met online and are now in serious relationships.. That's obviously different because they actually met but that initial strong 'pull' towards each other happened online..

The gist of it

Re: "I fell in love with someone online"

Yeahh I dont think they are in love as such but feel a deep connection with the other since theyve had the chance to get to know each other online.

Its quite naive to fall in love when not meeting and interacting with the other face to face.

Pyar kiya nahin jata... ho jata hai!

I saw it in front of my eyes. My lab colleague fell in love with a girl in Australia (the girl as well) and they met face-to-face first time when they landed in Nepal to get married.

For me it hasn't work and probably won't in this life.

Re: "I fell in love with someone online"

i'm guessing you wont go to watch the movie "her" ...i think all these stories just point to how weird our human minds can be...and the chemicals secreted in our brains that we interpret and translate as "love" dont need a physical being in front of us. but yes i do think 16 yr old grls falling in love over an online chat is quite appalling...you see in real life they're probably not even allowed to talk to a boy their own age...and obviously with all those hormones gone awry during your teens, even an online version of a male is quite charming and alluring.

Undermining sexting ??? WTH

Re: "I fell in love with someone online"

I think, ppl now a days are desperate of love n affection, thats y they start trusting strangers n long distance relation

Re: "I fell in love with someone online"

Nothing practical about falling in love online. People can tell you whatever they want you to believe.

Re: "I fell in love with someone online"

yes, it can and it does happen. i had a 5 year relationship online but never met her in person. believe it or not!

Re: "I fell in love with someone online"

relationships can happen online but actually falling in love with the person you are only connected online or phone, i don't think this can happen.

Re: "I fell in love with someone online"

lots of such love stories as on GS... turned into marriages and still going strong mashallah.

i was introd to my husband online.. we didnt meet till a day before our engagement but never felt the need to see each other in person before that.

sometimes.. all that it is... is destiny. :)

Are you Manti Te'o?!

Meeting online is just another avenue, you can connect with people, find someone interesting, and then either it progresses or it does not. How much a role online plays would vary by individual. I think additional interaction phone, in person meeting would be important but for some it may be less important.
