Yes op .its very possible. I can only allow it to grow if there are high chances of us ever meeting physically to confirm our love 4 each other. Anything short of that is a waste of time,emotions an internet time.
Note: Do not be foolish like some fb dude who had an encounter with a 419 ghost.

LesbianBoy:

Pendo sweety since u haven met moi can u fall in love with moi!   least i forget i drive a range rover sport jeep

@ OP like you rightly said some people pose on the internet. . . therefore I would just safely say that perhaps a person could become enthralled by a character on the internet. Actually a few months back I made a thread questioning the[b] logic behind emotional attachment over the internet. I personally believe it's a dangerous and emotionally exhausting game to play if people dare equate such fellowship with love.[/b]

However I do think it's possible to fall in love with someone you have never met before (and not only via the internet, other means too)

claremont:

Actually, it is indeed very dangerous, especially here on Nairaland were most people have faceless, multiple profiles for reasons best known to them. Only a deluded person will not see the danger therein!

well peopl e tend to fall in love with characters rather than the person so the chances are very high

This is a very dicey thing but if you ask me I wounld think it's possible as the idea of love really has noting to do with physical contact but sort of an idealism which means you fall in love with a person based on a certain idea or character traits the person potrays.

claremont:

Therein lies the problem! What's the logic/rationale in supposedly "fallen-in-love" with a faceless character halfway around the world? What motivates people to do it? Is it by the way the character writes, argues e.t.c.

BABE!:

LOL-- Mynd has fallen in love with a faceless person. Chei-- I pity you(lol). I just hope she's not a vampire or a transgender.[color=#006600] I've heard too many weird and scary stories on here. [/color]

LesbianBoy:

Do u realise that most of the stories on here are just people's imagination!

BABE!:

Lesb[i]ian[/i]boy.

lol-- You never jam!

Yh, I know most of the stories are made up. I'm just goofing around.

However, its very possible that a good number of folks on here are not who you think they are (190, 2011).

If you want love, then get your lazy a$$ out of your chair and seek for it on the street, not online ( especially NL). Stop wasting your love (lol) on random, unknown people. It makes sense to me not to.

emofine:

I think that might be the most attractive aspect of the whole internet flirting - the other person is kinda like a mystery and so one can weave in their words to create some kind of portrait.
Also some may ironically actually feel safer in the knowledge that if a particular character is in another region then there's a safety net attached to the whole kiss chase i.e. they won't have to be confronted with each other (most likely their real identities) if they resided in the same abode. An exotic fantasy perhaps. . .

claremont:

Portrait? Which Portrait? What if the character that is being portrayed ONLINE is totally opposite what the person's real character is, what now happens to the "love"? Do you fall-OUT-of-love when this happens? Personally, I don't agree that being online creates a safety net for 2 characters to mingle; on the contrary, the mere fact that both parties are starting something ONline without even seeing each other physically, has pulled whatever safety net an OFFline meeting would have provided.

Cuddlemii:

Even if its about Nland, never say never. People have met & married on here so what are you going to say about that? Obviously, the love is not an immediate thing but a collection of various factors & experience with the other Nlander. Destiny is not in the hands of men, so you can't play God if he says your wife is here.
