Is it possible to fall in love via social media and the phone but never meet the person face to face?

[Stella Mk 2]

I believe because it happened to me 10 years ago. My husband and I worked together 40 years ago for a short time - in 2002 he tracked me down for a book he was writing. We ended up writing to each other via email and instant messenger for almost a year . We never even phoned each other, and certainly didn't meet at all. And yet we fell in love !

Anyone who has no experience with this, might be sceptical about it , but it does happen a lot. And in these times of internet relationships, it will become more and more common I think. Its a very nice way to get to know each other - no physical aspect to it, and you are not distracted by appearances. You get to know the person's mind and thoughts instead of worrying about what they are wearing or what they look like.

My husband and I finally met after a year, at the airport . Lets just say, we've never been apart from that moment - we lived together for 5 years, and then got married and have been as happy as clams from that day onward.
