Can you fall in love with someone only through texting?

Question

johnmspaghetti · Accepted Answer

I can and did. I met a gal in Minnesota and I was in California, over a social art gallery website called deviantart. I commented on an image she did, we sent a few notes back and forth, and eventually got to Skype and later Facebook Messenger. We fell in love after a few months, but it took 4 long years before we could finally move in together. We lived single but together for 18 months before marrying. Then she left me after 9 months.

You can fall in love when you connect on an emotional and mental level, but relationships can fall apart if you're both not on the same physical level too. We tried 2 years difficult to make it work, but she finally left because I didn't want sex as often as she did.

You can fall in love, the trick to /staying/ in love is knowing yourself honestly and conveying it honestly to your partner. I wish we had figured that out before it was too late.

I've met some really nice people here and some I really did want something to do with to. It's true you can't attract through text and most aren't willing to meet you so. The website seems like a time waster. It's a shame too.

Oh dear. Of course you cannot. If you do you are falling in love with a total stranger, a dream, the fantasy of being in love or being loved or the person being what you want them to be and very often when it is online, text or phone only they lie to you and you not even know anything much about them, only what they tell you rather than the truth.
i. e. Hi Beth, I really need your help. I have been online chatting to this guy in the army, he is out fighting and we are in love, but he asked me to send him money as he needs help.
Which really means Hi Beth. I am looking for love and very naive and vulnerable. This person said he is in the army and needs money. Really he is just a teenager arsehole who tries to scam women online out of money by pretending to be a hero who is good looking and successful.

I had read this story where two people start liking each other through texts and then the finally meet and it's so good. They end up getting together and one day married.
Yeah. It was a story. I don't know if it's really possible. Oh it is a Wattpad story by the way.

Yes, because it's easier for people to show their best sides when they text. It's difficult though, because texting and verbal conversations are very different. I've experienced so many incidents where people were awesome texting with but they can't be the same way f2f

A guy fell in love with me over texting, we never met before either, which really creeped me out. He was really clingy and it was so annoying. He had one of those personalities where he had to always have someone to talk to… ugh I get annoyed thinking about him! I ended up ghosting him because he was ugly more than his annoying personality. 🙄

You can like their personality, but frankly some people are different via text than in person.

LegateLanius · Answer

No. I find it ridiculous to "fall in love" without ever meeting them.

TareG · Answer

Of course, manners in imaginary that you drawn can enforce you to fall in love than the real presentations...

EvilAngel114 · Answer

Yeah I suppose anything is possible. If they talk enough they could grow a deep love for each other. *shrug*

I guess anyone can but it's very shallow. It might not even be really love.

A 3h text conversation can be said in 10minutes. Texting slows things down and gives time to think about it.
