I was wondering How Many Have

Developed strong feelings for someone that you have only talked to online? I mean someone you have never and may never come in contact with. Can you fall in love with someone just from talking online? How strong can those feelings and emotions be?

Yeah I developed feelings for someone and by chatting online and via telephone. People can become emotionally attached to one another.

 

However, you don't know if it is real, until you meet in 'real' life....and the other person might not turn out to be, what you thought they were.

 

In another forum I was reading a story, where the girl had chatted to this guy for six months and she'd fallen for him. He'd said he'd fallen for her and she said they'd got along really well...

 

Time came to meet. He showed up half an hour late, did not show her any signs of affection, treat their date like a business meeting, walked twenty yards ahead of her.....called her once after the meet, then nothing.

 

So unlike how he'd appeared online.

 

I'd advise, not to invest anymore time in anyone, than is necessary.....it could be precious time you are wasting. Best to meet asap and if you find a connection online.

I had a friend meet her now husband online. They had only spoken on the phone and online.... him in Texas, her in Florida. He bought a house for them before he even met her in person. She came to Texas and they are still happily married with 2 children.

I've grown attatched to people I have talked to alot online. However when we met in person it was different. I haven't met alot of people in person though who I speak to online.

 

With my current bf we spoke online for about 2years. Then we FINALLY met.

Even when we used to speak online, he had something very alluring about him. Something which really made me trust him. Luckily in this case my instincts weren't wrong, but ALOT of times I had been wrong/mislead when talking and getting to know guys online.

Another thing which helped me be able to trust him and feel safe meeting him was that some friends of mine knew him too, and we spoke on the phone a few times.

 

We weren't in love though. Far from it. Just really good friends who had some sort of chemistry and understood each other well.

 

T'was only after we first kissed and began hanging out more and more that I realised he was better then what I expected him to be in person. But at the same time we got to know each others good and bad side.

When I was with an ex of mine for 4 years. Before married life. We met online. We talked on the phone for over a year before I actually got to met him. From the momment i told him i had feelings for him and he did the same after that we clicked and I fell in love with him and i haven't seen him just by talking over a year I found the one i wanted to be with and spend my life with him. At that time he was everything to me. And worst of all he never knew that. But after so long I look back and i say i'm glad I didnt end up marrying him because of the way he showed himself. He didnt carry himself that good. I was stupid not knowing he was cheating after 3 years and was sleeping around. I was blind not to see it other than that I would had dumped him way earlier and when I did dump him several times or call it quits we would end up finding our way back to one another so our feelings were strong defentily. I dumped him over the internet. told him that i couldn't do this anymore and didnt bring it to my attention of him sleeping around and cheating for the past 3 years. He got his sister involved to work his way back again and I was basically tierd of being used. And believe it or not he never apologized. Not even once. I was with him for 4 years and 2 years he was controlling and emotionally abusing me. And if he were to come back one day I wouldn't know what or how to handel it.

 

After that I had a hard time falling in love. I had a hard time trusting another man in my life. ( this is my experince I had)
