Ok I need your opinions.  Do you think it is possible to fall in love with someone after reading their posts for a few years even though you have never met them?  Do you think it is possible to really get to know someones heart by interacting in the forums with them.  Just curious to read your thoughts.  Thanks DS

Well I don't know if I believe one could fall in love, however I do think one could be attracted to someone definately.  And I do think that the forums are a good starting point to test whether you want to make the efforts to get to know the other person better.  I have often thought wow, he's quite charming, or wish he lived closer or she is such an amazing woman, only to have a certain topic come up and their true colors begin to show.  Try posting something that's near to your heart or one of your main requirements for a relationship and see if and how they respond.  Godspeed to you!

Too many words, Ramone.  When are you going to learn to be concise?

HMMMMMM??  :-/

Personally, I have nothing against forming a friendship long distance, but we tend to fill in the blanks sometimes that only meeting in person and spending time together will confirm or correct regarding our imagination and impression of another person.   We can gain a lot through another's words sometimes, can grow to appreciate their consistency when it exists, can share and deepen a bond, and can glean more from phone conversations, but in my experience "in person" is using wisdom.  Otherwise, there will be limitations in dimension such as only seeing/reading their words and hearing their words/voice.

However, I do believe attraction can start from reading another's posts or email, and that sometimes a serious relationship can blossom from this genesis depending on the people involved. I also think some believe they are "in love" because it is a form of communication between a man and woman at times and many of us seek that connection.  But love is a choice.  At some point one can make a choice to love this person in a one flesh covenant. To make a wise choice, time spent in person is recommended.

In the meantime, I do think that some people do share more of their heart and personality than others in forum and that we can grow in our love, or at least appreciation of how a person is presenting themselves to us, how they are communicating with us, and when people are being authentic, it is good.   This does give hope that the person would be the same in person.  
And sometimes even better than we imagined.   Or not.   lol

Yes it's possible to fall in love.
But do not allow yourself to fall for anyone until you have met them in person, and spend the time you both need to know each other enough to let yourself go.
This is my humble advice.

Yes, it's possible to fall in love with them according to the words they say and what those words represent...and possible you would get to know someone's heart by their posts if they are a open and guileless person.

But.. if you've never met them outside of this forum, it's not very realistic or likely imho that you love them for who they really are, although I won't say it's impossible. (With God, anything is possible and maybe this is the one in a million..) Perhaps just ask her--- respectfully. If she is what you think she is, she'll respect you in turn and honor you with a response one way or the other. Then you'll know if you have the freedom to pursue the relationship to a point of real love. If not, then you'll demonstrate how real the love was by letting go and letting God, and not trying to make something happen no matter how badly you may want it. You will be blessed for that.

Also something to ponder..
Without meeting, you don't know if you can take this person out in public, will they embarrass you, how are their manners? Are they similar to yours? Do they have any little quirks that will drive you crazy. lol  Just a couple things to keep in mind. :-) Otherwise I think it's possible to get a decent read on them.
