how you ever been inlove with someone that you havent seen or met?

Yes, I've had a long-term, committed relationship with someone I met online. The first time we got together in person, I had still never even seen his picture. We had talked on the phone practically non-stop, had exchanged emails, instant messages, etc., when we finally planned a vacation together. It worked out fine and we did stay together. Having said that, I do think it's easy, as you've explained, to fall for someone that makes you happy every day... someone that makes you feel special, tells you things you want (or need) to hear... someone that puts laughter into your life during the worst possible times. I think it's important to treat online relationships as real relationships because, inevitably, the feelings they evoke are VERY real. People fall in love, get hurt, break up, fall in love again, all the time -- just as they do offline. Starting a relationship online is a very viable thing nowadays. It allows us to meet people that we might never have met otherwise, due to distance. The dynamics of the relationship are just very different (and more demanding, most of the time) than those with someone we can see and touch every day.
