I'd imagine it's easier to fall in love with someone over the internet. I mean, you get an idealised image of them, or that's what I find.

Yes. I think you can fall for someone over the internet, easily. but i don't think you should start a relationship, till you know you will see each other, or they are definetly the one.
You two seemed kinda happy together.Whether its gay straight bi whatever thats pretty rare.~degrassi

I think you can- if you actually have faith in it.
You see on all types of sites that people date other people to cyber, and have something to do while they're at home and on the internet. While others truly fall for someone, and make it become something much, much more. The internet conversations turn to texts messages, to phone calls, webcam conversations, etc. And usually it'll lead to them meeting. I have quite a few friends who are living proof that internet relationships can be just like any other if you have the right amount of trust, and faith. If it's something you don't actually want, and not something you're serious about then- no. Being in an online relationship though where you have no faith of ever being with this person in the real, isn't worth it. There's a lot of withdrawals of not being able to feel someone, and hold them, kiss them, etc.
But simply, yes you can fall in love with someone online.

For me, its easy to fall in love over the internet. The part that i cant handle is the relationship only over the internet. I have had one before where we never met, and i cannot do that. I need to be able to meet the person and hug and kiss them.

^yup and 5 and a half months later, here we are lol. If both people are serious and willing to make the effort then it can work. I fell really fast for Allison and she's everything to me. I'm so in love with her and I know she's it for me.
Plain and simple, don't live somebody else's dream.

yeah i totally believe you can fall for someone on the internet.
I think that a relationship would be tough, unless you know that you're going to meet, and you two will commit.
but it's possible to fall for someone, i know i have lol

Very much possible.
It's happened to me.
But I refuse to let it happen ever again.
Too much hassle and trouble.

It happened to me. We talked on the phone any everything, but we did meet on the internet, so yes, I believe it's possible.

Most defiantly. Be careful though, you need to find a way to become Internet friends with the person. After all you don't want to not be able to stop thinking of someone who literally doesn't know you exist.

Yeah, you can. Well, I'm pretty sure a person can fall in love over the internet. It happened to me, at least. But in my situation things didn't necessarily turn out fantastically in the end.
I think the only thing I have to add is that there is a very important aspect of relationships (for me, at least)- seeing each other, be it webcam or in RL. Because a lot of things can be misunderstood over purely textual forms of communication.

That's a tough one, but yes I do believe it can happen in certain cases. Internet relationships are extremely difficult though and shouldn't be entered into lightly.

I believe that it is definitely possible, under the right circumstances.

People can convey themselves in any way they want over the internet, so I guess you can, if you get to know "them" well enough, but you may never know if you love the actual them or their internet self.

It can happen. But I never let myself do it. We all know, a good example being Allison and Erica, that it can be a brilliant thing, but tbh internet love isnt for me if I cant be with the guy. Its not the same for me, cos I needa.. Ya know.. Be with him. Thats my understanding, anyway.

hmm. I definitely think it's possible. There's so many new people to meet on the internet. i really try not to though. it's hard.

i don't think it's truly falling in love. call me biased though, because i personally had a really really bad experience with it. i mean, when you "fall in love" over the internet, i don't think you really know the person. assuming they are who they say they are, there's still a problem of spending time with them. some people are much more personable over the internet than in person. you may only be seeing one side of them, being their strengths or their flaws.
heh, sorry for my skepticism...
oh, and not to say that you can't meet someone over the internet and meet in person and then fall in love. i think that's completely possible.

Yes, if both people handle the situation seriously.
