I think NO its not possible as you need a physical connection as well as an emotional connection in order to fall in love. so I just can't seem to understand how more and more people are dating online and falling in love too when they have never met the other person? what do you think?

Yea I think it is..in fact I know it is...the guy I was madly in love with lived in another country, was in prison and we only knew each other from letters and phone conversations in fact we didnt meet until 7 yrs later...

I think that an online relationship can definitely grow and turn into something permanent. Here are some ways to grow an online relationship. Growing Online Dating Relationships Just like regular real-world relationships, online relationships need tending, to grow over time. Here are some quick growing tips. 1. Take time and make time. Does your online date get in touch with you regularly? Do you do the same? Neglecting virtual meetings can be considered abuse or neglect, so treat each other’s time with respect. If it’s lacking, might mean time to move on. 2. Communication needs to “feel” right for both of you. If one of you is too pushy about meeting, for instance, that can give off bad vibes. So don’t rush. Take time to learn more about each other and develop trust. 3. Respect each others privacy. Don’t share personal email addresses or digital photos online, for example, if your online date sent you the information in confidence. 4. Share special online and offline fun times. Online – send greeting cards, links to favorite places to upload digital photos of your favorite pet, download music and video clips, post on favorite forums of interest. Offline- if you’re exchanging addresses or post office boxes, send print greeting cards and postcards, small items from your area (like a key chain with your state bird). Tend your online relationship. Water it with care and over time it can sprout and grow.

Yes it is possible. If you invest in the time it is. My sister and brother both met their spouses online. they talked for a long time then they met in person. It has to start out as friends first. and really get to know each other. I have met my fiance online. We had been talking for about 8 months then he came to california to meet me, He stayed here for about a month and then went back to georgia. HE will be moving here at the end of this january and we will be gettin married next year.+

try it and you may find out. you get to know the person online because you sit and talk for hours sometimes. I met my husband online...we were just friends at first. we would sit and talk for hours sometimes...he would send me e-mails and I him while we were working then we would meet in the chat room at night again. When I finally met him in real life it was like he had been on a long vacation and was finally home. He came to California in May 1999 and we married August 1999

while we were online we fell in love....he even asked me to marry him on the phone before we met...was cute the way he did it but thats a different story...It happens and is hard to explain. After awhile you get to know the person online you talk and talk just about everyday things. Now days when you go on a real date its like no one really talks anymore but thats all you have on the internet is the talking and if you and the other person are honest people then wow can learn a lot about the person. Like said when we finally met it was like my love had been on a long vacation and was finally home where he was suppose to be.

i don think its possible.. its possible only when you are very much eager to find a friend to understand your feelings and you find him/her to be of your type.... so you may fall in love without any meeting with him/her....
