It is possible yes, but you would need to meet upfirst and see if they wereas nice as they appear online, you would need to meetin a publicplace too for your on safety. Have you mentioned you have feelings for him or are you just happy at the moment to be online friends, Has hesuggested more? Be careful but if it feels right go with it. huggles. Ellie :D

If he already has a girlfriend I would steer clear as this is asking to be hurt if you are looking for more than friendship.

nope your not, love comes in many ways that includes chatting (online dating)..why i am pretty sure? because my love story started on yahoo messenger.. everyday chat and we hardly notice that we are actually deep in-love, but i have to tell you that the key for this relationship to succeed is to meet up in person and make sure you are sure on your feeling before stepping to the next level.. our relations is now 4 years old, it started with a single hi in the chatroom a year of online relationship, and we decided to shift to the next level..we are now living closer. as circumstances brought us together.. we used to be 700 kilometers apart..now just 10 kilometers..and when she finish her school we will be getting married..:)

Hi jnah! It is possible to fall in love even your miles away from each other. To be honest, my husband and I met online. We talked on the phone most of the time and sent emails to each other. After 3 years he came to my country and married me. Now we're living together and our love is still the same as before.

Well, i dont think i am in any position to answer the last question in this post because ive never experienced such situation. But in my pi personal opinion, it is very difficult to think and assume to yourself that you have a relationship with someone insde a box. At least see try to see each other, meet up and try introducing him/her to your family. But i suppose 7 months is long enough....for me, just be careful and happy. good luck!

You haven't met him in person yet? Well, for me there's nothing wrong about that as long as no harm could come your way for having that relationship with him. I don't think you are stupid or anything. It is understandable to fall for someone who makes us feel good and special.Though I will not dare this thing for myself but if it will happened to me, I will enjoy it. Just be careful, though. You don't know what is on his mind. Have a lovely day.:-)

I don't think you are stupid because you find a person nice online. But with regards to falling in love, I suggest that it is important to meet up with this person first so you can sort out your true feelings. It would be nice to meet in a quiet restaurant so you can talk and get to know each other more. You may also bring a friend or a cousin with you on your first meeting if you like. There is nothing wrong to have friends online. It's just like the "penpal days" of decades back. If it makes you happy to chat with this guy, then by all means, go ahead. Just be cautious when you decide to take your relationship to the next level. Take your time. Assess yourself and your feelings after the first meeting so you can decide not only with your heart, but with your mind as well. No one can possibly predict if you're going to end up with each other but there is nothing wrong with being open to the possibilities. Years back, I was a primary sponsor to the wedding of a German and a Filipina. They told me they met online, too. So if you ask me, I would say it really is possible. But what bothers me though, is that you think he has a girlfriend. If you are sure that he really does, I think it will be better to look elsewhere. I'm sure you don't want to get hurt.

It is all in your hands. I know for sure within yourself you sometimes think there's no assurance in the affinity you're involving yourself into. I won't stop you from having a relationship with him but have a look at the circumstances you might encounter in the long run. Judge the person wisely. He may seem to be super nice to you, but who knows...Weigh things up dear. Happy Sunday!

Well i guess your not stupid at all. If you feel that he's nice and worthy of your time and you love him at the same time then its a good relationship. Yes, it is possible to fall in love with a chat mate. It doesn't mean that he is too far away from you things won't work out. But I do believe long distance relationship is so hard to handle because I am in your situation right now and its been more than 2 years now. So really its hard. Sometimes I wanna give up and all that, but love always beats within me. I hope you will handle it good as how you want it to be.

Nowadays it is hard to fall in love with just a chat mate. We never know them personally and don't know much about their life. But I would still say that yes it is. We have feelings and sometimes all we need is someone who understand and listens/talks to us. So if we have them and they are there most of the time, then it's possible that we can develop such feeling towards them.

Why not get the chance to meet him in person, somehow this would build up a true meaning on your relationship since online relationships are quite tricky most especially that there are more false profiles online. So, by meeting the person in real life, it will somehow give that feeling of security and puts a conclusion about your relationship with that person.

do not easily give your trust to anyone especially to someone whom you just met online. There are already internet scams that victimized a lot of people. Last night, I was watching TV and they were showing victims of online dating scams. The victims told everything that happened to them and how their foreign partners got their money. So beware!

It is possible, but It won't work for me. Well, if you think you fall in love with your chat mate, then your question is answered that it is really possible. I have many chat mates before, some went good, others went bad. As you said, there are chatmates who asks for you to do something, sometimes, they want you to show something. I had been through that, I hate it actually. Although, not all chat mates are bad and rude, there are few good and nice ones. Am glad you found one. The disadvantage though my friend is that, is he really true to you? I mean, you cannot really tell unless you meet in person and been together. So, be careful with your feelings.

love with chat mate ....ummm ...i think it depends on the person...because every person in this world in different from another one....but i dont think he loves you or something like that i think he just want to see a girl naked and he got you on internet....so i would like to suggest you to forget him....because maximum boys says yes to every word of girls just to impress the girl.....he is supporting your opinions just because he wanna impress you....just forget him....but the life is yours and decision is also yours happy mylotting

As long as your happy then that's fine. You are a living proof that falling in love with your chatmate is possible. But it will be better if you meet him in person. Good thing he's a really nice guy. As for me I won't fall in love with someone who I haven't been with. Chatting online is not enough. I have to be with her to fall in love with her.

It is possible to fall in love with your chat mate, it is not stupidity or something. We were created this way, too soft and fragile. Always remember that trust makes a relationship last longer than it could be. Trust with each other makes a relationship became stronger. Just be sure on what you feel and decides what's the best thing to do and always allow God's guidance to our life.

its not possible in my opinion as long as there are any limitations in chat but if the chat grows into a relationship like exchanging contact numbers and meeting sometimes then its possible :D

Its nice to hear that. I know a friend who started talking to a friend on a wrong number. They satred talking for hours and one day they met. They started meeting and fell in love. The guy was DJ in the club. He used to tell her lets drink. she started drinking to prove that she loved her. She also started smoking and then they finally broke off after one and a half year. I dont mean to say that this will happen to you. But its alwasys better to be careful.
