I think I've fallen in love with someone I've never met

This girl (who I'll meet soon because we're going to the same university) added me on MSN from TSR several months ago, and since then I've completely fallen for her. She is everything and more that I could want in a girl. We chat for hours and hours and hours at a time without getting bored, we text constantly, we tell each other everything...but we've never met in person. Is it possible to actually fall in love with someone this way?

Yeah- but you might be dissapointed when you meet her, people can be whoever they want on the internet, I'm not saying she's lying about who she is or anything but she wouldn't tell you about her bad qualities that you may find unattractive.

Easy there Romeo. Be sensible and be careful. Don't forget that talking to somebody over the internet really isn't the same as being around them in person. She may still turn out to be nothing like you think.

Put the brakes on and think with your head. Sure, look forward to meeting up with her and seeing where it goes, but bear in mind things might be different in person and she might not feel the same.

Either way, best of luck.

Good luck with it. It is certainly possible. I met a girl at a party got her MSN etc and we really got to know each other and organise things over MSN. Rest is history now we are going out...

ITs certainly possible to fall in love over the internet and many people have gotten married after meeting for the first time on the internet. So good luck :biggrin:
If you're so close isn't it time you met? Just to see if you have that chemistry in person as well, rather than just online. Talking from experience, meeting someone who you get on great with online can sometimes be a huge disappointment.

No, you don't. To equate anything that transpires over MSN with actual conversation is, frankly, naïve.

Ask her for her 'phone number; or else, cease deluding yourself.

well said^, msn can be a useful disguise.
S'not possible IMO to fall in love without meeting somebody face to face.

Profesh and Anon#2: They text each other a lot and hence I would guess they have each others phone numbers?

I mean I agree with what everyone says, you cant fall in love over MSN but you can definetly begin to like someone on MSN. You need to meet the person and spend a lot of time with them before you properly love them
yeah. dont go on a blind date and feel all uncomfortable.
We've all done that.....

Have we?!? :confused:

Generally speaking.
@ OP, have you toyed with the idea that "she" might be a "he"? Just to put things in perspective of how anonymous a forum-contact-evolved-into-instant-messenger can be.

Speaking how generally? Because, generally speaking, I don't actually know anybody who's fallen in love with somebody over the internet.
Aye well.

People are saying her personality could be different in real life, but I just KNOW that's not the case. I feel like we know each other inside out, and she even knows me better than some of my close friends I see every day.
I know she feels the same way as I do as well. We've never actually said the words, but we don't need to. It's this feeling that I just can't describe - I feel like I know I'm going to marry her.

Do you have any idea how ridiculous and naive that sounds?

No. I've seen photographs of her and seen her on webcam. Plus I've spoken to people who know her - like I said, I'm joining her university next week.
