Can a man fall in love with you through texting?

[Cheriecoco]

Yes

No

[Lionman95]

I don´t know about other guys but I could since it comes more natural to me and I have less issues than offline. If I´m offline talking with a woman I come a cross rather insecure because I don´t want to mess it up. So only texting would probably not work for me either but if the beginning of what others call the talking part started by texting I think it would be enough for me to develop an interest in her and also make me fall for her depending on how well the conversation is going on.

[WildCard42]

Yeah it happened to me before. It's easy to get attached to certain women online if you become really close.

[Tina19]

Of course not however texting release dopamine ( not my words but experts say so about texting addiction and phone addiction)
so a person might feel good due to that after receiving a text from that particular person they claim to be in love

i would never believe someone who says they fell in love with me over texting because they only like to think this is love because of the regard of dopamine after every text

[Aerissa_Jade]

Sure, as that is a form of talking. One can fall in love with another, when talking to them. Be it via the phone or by texting.

This is given enough time, I would not expect it to happen quickly. It would or could take many months. Six months or longer or even a year.

It helps too if you've seen their picture or met a couple of times in person and then most of your talking is via text, it could happen.

[coachTanthony]

No but there can be a bunch of limerence happening. That's why you need to stop texting and meet them sooner then later.

[OlderAndWiser]

Anyone who thinks the answer is "yes" has set a low standard for "love."

[HippieVeganJewslim]

A lad actually admitted to have a crush on me. I know Him through Facebook and We messaged a lot.

[RainBat]

I really don't think that's right at all, text only takes away a lot of shallow points of attraction like looks and sexual aspects, and leaves just mental connection points, and how well you communicate.

[OlderAndWiser]

@RainBat How much of our communications is non-verbal? How much non-verbal communication gets communicated through a text message?

[RainBat]

Maybe quite a bit, but what people say is also very important, especially for some people like me, and my partners, who aren't very expressive at all, I know it's not for everyone, but it definetely works for us.

[DiegoO]

I would call it infatuation, but many call it love🤷. The answer I gave is infatuation, although OP says it's love.

[letuswaltzforthedead]

Maybe but eventually you guys will have to meet in person and facetime and all that stuff. Without knowing each other's fully, it will be hard to actually love someone. You can develop a mini crush and stuff through text but that isn't actual love.

[MrKinktastic]

Nope, he’s falling in love with his projection of you. If there’s no in person cooperation towards mutual goals or physical intimacy there’s no actual love/getting to know each other. You’re just falling in love with idealized versions of each other.

[es20490446e]

Great answer.

[JHNS98]

I'd say no, because so much tonal context that is simply not conveyed through text messaging, unless you use emojis in the identical way.

And if you can't establish mutual understanding, then you can't establish any relationship, romantic or otherwise.

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Possible , but will it sustain is the question.
Bc if it's only texting most of the things is imaginary.
As you will imagine the guy based on your perception of him , it would be more of you what you thought he is like 5han what he actually would be

[Googlemyahoo]

At least on this site you literally have to download and post ANY random female pic you find claim its you & most of the simps on this site will fall in love with you

[letuswaltzforthedead]

thats most of this site though lol

[HippieVeganJewslim]

A lad actually admitted to have a crush on me. I know Him through Facebook and We messaged a lot. A lass also admitted to be in love with me, also through Facebook chat, but that was the other gender. I daresay many homosexual/bisexual men would fall in love with me, if we texted a lot.

[Apinya97]

I think anyone can develop feelings and grow attached through online communication, but I think for genuine love you really need to be with the person for some time to develop true feelings of love.

[lightbulb27]

yes, esp if there's visuals.

It's a bad thing. Do you understand how and why? I've been reading how the mind works... it makes sense... it's not really good though.

I'd think women can as well...

[Vikkrram]

If you would ask me personally nope i wouldn't fall in love wid any random people on internet i should have at least seen them and then slowly i would fall in love wid them.

Texting and Online i can't

[XXblack88]

I think it's yes and no. You can fall in love with the personality of the person but unless you have a pic of them you really don't know what your getting.

[FinalFantasyBro]

I switched this question around and say can a girl fall in love with me through text because not gay. Probably nah, she might be just having some kinky sexting or wanting a friendly conversation.

[Batz2u]

Most guys are not confident and can fall in love quickly especially when its not face to face thats why we have all these stalkers. Unfortunately women abuse the power they have over guys especially when they are just flirting without intent.

[Adam1978]

No they fall in love with an illusion then, not you.

[Anonymous]

Texting is a great way to start a romance, especially because of how convenient it is and doesn't make the people involved feel the ‌awkwardness that comes with meeting in person.

[Rockstarrrrr]

You mean fall in love with your personality which is a good start... He'll fall in love with you when " you " meet him in person...

[es20490446e]

Even if that was possible, why would you want to do that? If you could see each other in real life?

[AngryCarl]

I don't think so. You can develop feelings for them but loving someone you never met doesn't make any sense. What if they're older than you, or not your preferred gender?

[Guardian45]

Yes, but there is a BIG difference between online and IRL! Sooner or later it can ONLY be confirmed by REAL LIFE!
