Is it weird if you fall in love with someone you never met?

It is not weird to develop feelings for someone you never met. This has been happening to people long before the Internet. Back in the days before the World Wide Web, people would have pen pals and write letters back and forth.

The main problem with falling in love, or developing feelings for someone you haven’t met, is that they may not be who they seem. I’m not sure how old you are, but you sound young, so here is a warning: be very careful. The Internet can be a dangerous place.

There are many predators online seeking out young people. A 50 year old man can pretend to be someone your age and communicate with you, letting you think he is your age. Like the other writer, I wonder if you have spoken with this person on the phone.

If not, I suggest you ask for a phone number and give him a call. If he refuses to give you his number, I would be worried. If he is a predator he will not want to talk to you on the phone, because you may find out he sounds older than he pretends.In this case, do not give him your number, especially if it is a published telephone number.

If you give him a number, give him a cell number which is more difficult to trace. Do not make arrangements to meet this person, even if he says he is coming to your area, until you check him out further. Ask him questions that can help determine if he is for real, about school or activities.

Is he on Facebook or MySpace or Twitter? Most younger people are, and you could learn more about him this way. If he is not on any of these sites, I would be a little worried.

Ask for a photograph. I’m not saying this to frighten you or stop you from communicating with him, it is just best to be careful. I work as a private investigator and I know how people can misrepresent themselves.

If he turns out to be legitimate, then keep corresponding with him and I wish you the best.

It can happen due to online chatting. By chatting with someone online and you have seen his photo, you can fall in love with him.

No. People do it all the time, especially in this world of e-dating, face-booking, and electronic gizmoitis. The question that I think you are really worried about here is whether or not it is wise to fall in love with someone you have never met.

And the answer is it depends. It depends on your personal situation for example, are you well grounded with friends, family a job, money a support net work of people you know and trust? (if so good) If on the other hand you are lonely and vulnerable without trustworthy friends and an emotional support work, which includes a steady and well grounded personal life I would say DANGER!

In these circumstances you may be vulnerable to exploitation by unscrupulous people you meet on the net. You may also be placing all of your emotional eggs in one basket, which again is obviously very dangerous, as it could lead to much personal upset should this relationship go wrong. Having said that I fell in love with a woman I had never met.

E-dated, phoned. Finally met, married, moved half way around the world, (not an easy thing to do) Lived happily ever after (still doing so obviously! ) So if you are confident of who you are, what you want and where you are going, I say go for it!

But the real test of that love you talk about is when you meet for real. That is when the harsh realities take hold. Relationships are difficult and need lots of work to keep them alive, so once the virtual shine has gone from this relationship will you really be able to call it love?

One last word of caution if you are new to Love and that heady rush it brings, a long distance virtual relationship is not for you. Stick closer to home and build your emotional strength and wisdom before you commit. Be safe with anyone you meet on the Internet.

Always tell friends and family where you are and meet in a safe public place of your choosing.

If this person is really genuine, then ask him to go on Skype! If he has internet, you both can set up a skype free calling account. Then you can refer back to the things you have talked about, to make sure this is the same person.

I think it's a bit scary falling for someone online, but as one of the answerer said, things like this were done by letters, before the internet. I would not agree to meet him, before you are 100% this is the person you think he is. If he is willing to talk to you on Skype, with video picture, and he can really prove who he is, then the next step would be maybe a meeting at a public place, with a family member or good friend present.

You can never bee too careful! Don't give too many personal facts. Don't give your address.

And please don't let your heart rule your head on this matter! Go slowly, but safely.

I think it depends. To me, I can't love a person until I know his voice, or his physcial capabilities or the way he acts. Just meeting someone online is not enough for me to fall in love with.

Now you didn't say if you were able to talk to him on the phone or anything. If you were able to hear his voice, and listen to they way he speaks, then yes its not weird at all to fall in love. But if you only typed a couple of words back and forth, with no video or voice interaction then yes that is weird.

You are falling in love with his words, nothing more. It reminds me of the Shakesperian play, with Cyrano de Bergerac and his big nose speaking to his love through someone else. Anyone could type fancy words on a screen, but they must be able to speak the language of love and be in the flesh, for me anyways.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
