Do you think someone can fall in love with someone they've never touched?

Question

dynamicyandere · Accepted Answer

Is it possible to have a strong emotional connection to someone who you haven’t touched? Yes.

Can you make a friend online, and truly come to care about that person? Yes.

Is it possible to have open honest communication, confiding in each other, and giving each other emotional support and reassurance? Yes.

It’s absolutely possible to fall in love with someone without yet being physical with them.

Also, people meeting in person doesn't automatically mean what they have is real love.

Real love takes depth and connection.

And although easier in person, you can still establish depth and connection while long distance as long as you know how to open up to each other and truly spend quality time together.

I think they think they can do it. I don't think what they will ever have will match those of us who touched what we loved.

If I try to put it in relatable ways even for the people out there who have never had the fortune (or misfortune) or falling in love with someone they saw all the time, maybe even lived with, a person can fall in love with a way with pictures of a dog or cat they see online.

But that will never replace the deeper love you have when you have your own cat or dog.

Romantic love? No! You can like someone, desire someone, wanting to be friends with someone without touch but romantic love, being in love, no. People talk about the 5 love languages, my personal opinion is that all 5 is required to have a balanced, normal, healthy love relationship.

IF you are just talking online, you're not in love, you have a chat buddy and you like the 'high' of the pings of the messages. You are more in love with the idea of love.

Absolutely. Even in person i had fallen for people that we could just hang out and not be touchy touchy. The first year of knowing someone is truly about building a strong emotional connection for me. Because i wouldn't go through with being physical with someone who doesn't have me emotionally

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I think that people who have never met can desperately HOPE to be in love, and they may be in lust, and they may claim that they are in love, but. . . if you start trying to define love, this obviously isn't love.

NO. That is what we call Limerence. Limerence is a state of infatuation or obsession with another person that involves an all-consuming passion and intrusive thoughts.

My boyfriend and I fell in love 350km away (around 217 miles) and we truly loved each other. Took a long time before we could finally meet. But we got there. Been together for 7 years. I moved to him 3 years ago.

Finding him, even though through a screen, was like I had found a soulmate. After only a few days we both felt like we had known each other for an eternity. It's such a special feeling. I always tell people that real love to me, is when you feel like you've been waiting for each other for years. I'm still young, but I was lucky to find someone so important to me so early in life. Hopefully our love will last forever :)

I don't think so, a person's online persona can be completely different than what they are in real life. In addition, you need to be able to hold that person and them reciprocate the contact to truly know you have not only a connection of the mind, but of the body too.

Phoenix98 · Answer

I'm not gonna say it's impossible I mean my father did fall in love with my mother the moment he set on eyes on her according to him and they've been happily married for I think over 30 years so far.

So knowing that I can't exactly deny it.

NathanDavis · Answer

falling in love is infatuation...

being in love requires to "get up, and compose yourself" it is about building up... something more real, and organic, with depth... which I do think requires, basic human contact, yes...

Pudsmucker · Answer

Yes everything's possible. I had met this beautiful looking woman while I was on assignment. I was transferred out of the area I started writing her and talking to her through letters. I was away from her for 2 years. When I came back I asked her to marry me. We knew each other well enough without dating and being able to talk over the phone. We have been together for almost 45 years now.

DaySpring · Answer

Yes. The answer is an obvious yes. Your senses isn't what make you love a person. Your subconscious is what does it and it will accept anything regardless of the senses. Doesn't matter whether you can see them or not.

molonski2 · Answer

Absolutely , especially if they were to look like the example given :) . Love is not only about touch , so many people who met online may know each other really well before they meet in the physical.

Can a Christian love Jesus? Yes So Yes. I think we fall into fantasy in these human situations based upon the projections of our minds.

Jemini_Crocket · Answer

Nope, or at least I know that it's not possible for me. My love language is a physical touch. I need to be close to the man, for him to touch me and for me to smell him.

OddBeMe · Answer

It’s possible cuz it’s happened. At least they say it happens. We have to take their word that they’re “in love”.

Just watched a docu on the Night Stalker and all his female admirers after his was convicted. He ended up marrying one.

Apulu_Imback · Answer

If you meet and talk and spend time together then, yes. Depends on the person.

Anonymous · Answer

no. that's infatuation and giving way too much idealization. and then once you do meet, you may be severely disappointed because you put them way too high up on a pedestal.

Razp_Sorbet · Answer

Yes. Deep connection to someone doesn't have to be physical.
