my ex husband swears that he is head over heels with a woman from England that he's been chatting with for a couple of years.

Online you are dealing with real people with real emotions so as long as both people are honest and committed, then just like any other relationship it can work!

axeman66	Posted Jul 16th, 2009 at 7:44PM yeah, i think so, but you have to remember you haven't met the person yet and you're in love with their ideal of themself and your ideal of them. and vice versa. Rated: +2Vote for this!
Coyotegray	Posted Jul 16th, 2009 at 8:21PM Yes. Words are powerful. Our great grandparents frequently fell in love by postal mail. Not surprising we could fall by EP or any other written medium. Rated: +2Vote for this!

laceset	Posted Jul 16th, 2009 at 6:28PM yes, it's a form of human connection. However, will it last probably not! Rated: +1Vote for this!
piscesgal	Posted Jul 16th, 2009 at 6:31PM I'm sure of it. While it hasn't happened to me, I know that you are able to share a lot more of yourself in the written form than in person(for a lot of people at least) and I totally believe it can happen. That said though, it doesn't mean that people can't fall out of love no matter how they meet. But I think real love grows through knowing someone well from the inside, and the internet fosters those types of relationships, so yes, I believe it's very possible. Rated: +1Vote for this!
