Do men ever develop feelings for a girl over texting?

Or is this just all a big scam?

I take these scenarios as an LDR in the making. Yes, you can develop feelings for a person over texting because with that being the main source of communication, you have no choice but to connect with them on a mental level without anything physical at all. However, a lot of what you’re falling for is the fantasy of the future you are imagining with this person, and the potential you create in your mind during lengthy convos and nonstop texting.
The sucky part is when the topics run out and there’s no silver lining for what comes next. No dates or building things in person, even if you like the person a lot the connection becomes impractical.

Maybe they are wasting their time way with you because they are bored and want some attention.

Most likely

Developing feelings is subjective. Are you asking if a guy can fall in love over text? Unlikely. Can he learn about you and like you? Probably.


To me you gotta meet irl and spend quality time together to develop feelings. Sure I hear stories of ldrs and daily video chats and assume sometimes that can work. But being face to face with someone ; technology hasn’t yet replaced that.


So yea some guys do but to me any feelings are capped until you see each other irl. Would that be the same for how girls feel?

No. text is just that text. There is no voice, there is no physical touching involved there is nothing. Guys do not develop feelings over cluster of letters that came from soulless devices. The only time guys develop feelings is when they physically see and talk and touch a girl.

It happens, I pick up personality easily and that makes it easier to get attached to a person, it's why I have a balance of distance from certain people so I know it's possible just more complicated for some than others
