How can I be in love with someone ive never met ?

I have met my boyfriend on line 7 weeks ago and he has become the world to me, he is deployed in Iraq, we speak for hours a day on skype and we exchange messages everyday but for the last 8 days i havnt heard a peep from him, im anxious and worried hoping hes not gone off me but is working, i cant sleep and dont know how to handle this, can anyone help????





Think i need to elaborate hes a private contractor and goes off on missions and so could be on one of them, do i still give up or wait ??



so even after all the mail and talking i could of been played and their is nothing in it, doies every really think that shallow, is it really not possible that he got deployed and cant contact me ??? he used to be a para, hes not got mental issues and is a family man with 2 girls from a previous relationship, or am i seriously grasping at straws

It's simple. You CAN'T be in love with someone you've never met. Infatuated, sure. Hero worship, why not. A crush. (Wheres my Angelina "Lara Croft" poster?) Definitely. But love requires way more knowledge than you currently have about this guy. He may be the goods. But you can't know that at this distance.
Next question is why the silent treatment? Well what would you think it was if he was just on line from the next state? Maybe he was just fooling around and he got bored. Or maybe he just got scared and needs some space. But he has all the cards and if he wants to talk again, he will get in touch. Us guys are like that I'm sorry to say. In the meantime, I suggest you don't fixate on him. This was an internet thing like any other. Just get on with your life and see what happens. But don't hold your breath.

You are in love with a notion....a dream....not the person....there is no way that you can be in love with someone you haven't even met.....You're in love with the things this person told you....(and have no idea if any of it is true)....

I met my husband online....and some guys are very clever...very good at saying the perfect words, to get a girl reeled in (but, we are responsible for our actions)....
but, they are not really serious about you....it's a game....a game to get what they want....Most likely, he's either a player, or someone with mental health issues.....

I'd count your blessings that you didn't hear from you....move on....find someone in your area, that you can actually see, when you talk to them....someone that you can be around, and learn who they really are....not some pipe dream.

Just don't send money. There are scammers online but there are also lonely people who have been victims themselves. Talking for hours like that and your connection online is a virtual way of dating. You get to know each other. He is probably very busy.

I know this may sound cold, but,, truthis, you arten't in love. I know I have thought the same thing plenty of times in my life, but I wasn't in love. i may have had a sense of love for thaty person and loved them, but there is a difference between loving somone asnd actually being in love. You will real;ize this, when the right person comes along.

It sounds like you are in love with what you think this person is telling you or the idea of being in love with him.
At any rate you can fall for someone easily when they aren't "real" and I hope you will be careful and meet him in person in a safe place.
For the record, I first met the man I am in a relationship with online and we quickly (relatively speaking) met in person to see if we were what we presumed the other to be. It worked for us -- but the obsession factor is a dangerous one. Be very, very careful. It turns out badly more often than not.

You aren't in love with "HIM" You are in love with the thought of what you think this relationship could be.

Please be aware of this kind of relationship. my friend's brother was in love with a girl(uk citizen but working there as social worker) in africa the used to meet online. after few months he asked her to meet up and her reply was to send some money to her to come to UK. He send some money and they went to airport to pick her up and surprise!!! no one came. he was really heart. after few weeks we saw a tv programme that it could me even man pretanding and chating as woman and that was just a scam to get money. please be aware of this.

It is likely that you have *********** to thoughts of this man and touched your breasts while doing this. Breast stimulation and ****** both stimulate release of oxytocin, aslo known as the cuddle drug. This drug is responsible for the mother child bond, and quite possibly the reason you are "in love". This drug is responsible more often than not when you see obviously good women who continue to stay with men who are bad for them. In men, ****** causes release of progestins, which cause us to lose the erection and then want to go to sleep.... its all about the chemistry baby. Google "oxytocin cuddle". If you don't want to love this guy any more, find one nearby and let him stimulate your breasts and try to get an ****** with him. Bang- new love.

I think you are not really sure you love him. You love the idea of the words he tells you.

Love is when you can go through the thick and thin with a person .. not walk away when it gets tough! all been hunky dory all the reason to stay, but now when there is confusion chaos and etc your questioning! and wondering if its time to pack. Don't do this, weather he's a hoax or the real deal, this is your opportunity to understand yourself and what your all about, how strong you are and how strong you can be and how badly you want it with him.
Yes but please, keep your life on the move enjoy your life! cook, read, spend alone time have a bubble bath get out with the girls check out hotties and ignore them...have fun be a person not a zombie.

And if you want to be a zombie don't blame him, this is all upto you. And hopefully he'll get back in touch with you very soon if he doesn't thats ago their are many men deployed in Iraq ;)

And props to people for being so helpful and giving great advice i love it ! Iam learning yayi!
