Is it normal that i love someone i have met once a year ago?

I think maybe you're in love with the idea of you guys being a couple or the relationship you could possibly have. But because I had a somewhat similar situation happen in my life, I almost sure of the fact that even though you love your boyfriend you should think about leaving him. Because you're having feelings for someone else. Which means youre not head over heels on love, and why would you want to settle for anything else.

thanks , i really get some new perspectives! after all indeed - i will never know what 'could have been'..

I've ACTUALLY been in this situation and it was a lot of fun. Of course, the fun stops when you realize you can't just take a jaunt to Germany, but truly you'll never know what may have been - and sometimes living in the middle of "what could be" is a very exciting time.

Go on about your life, but continue talking to him and who knows, perhaps he'll get a job in America and start a true romance with you.

P.S., learn German

I agree and disagree with some things about this. I agree that you can love a person after meeting them once. I know, crazy and I sound stupid but let me explain. I met a guy at church camp, I couldn't explain it but I was undeniably drawn to him the whole time. I never talked to him but one night after I had just sung a solo, he came up to me and touched me on the shoulder smiling and telling me I did a good job. I can't tell you what went on but I just looked at him and the crowds around me were blurred and I only saw him. That night changed my life. I went home and we added each other on "myspace" (what used to be cool a few years ago, haha) and started commenting each other a lot. Then we started IM'ing each other on AIM, and then calling each other. Turns out he was feeling the same undeniable attraction and worked up the courage all week to talk to me. He lived 3 hours away, and he decided that it couldn't work because he was too far away. I was heart broken, devistated. We both dated other people but I was in love with him every moment of everyday. He was too, but wanted to deny it and take the easy way. Wanted a girl that was there, which is understandable in some ways. A year later we met at camp again. He had broken up with his girlfriend, and I was on the verge of breaking up with my boyfriend. I still felt that undeniable attraction and got sick to my stomach walking next to him. When I got home I broke up with my boyfriend, and told this boy that I was in love with him and had been for a year. I couldn't pretend anymore. I didn't expect a reply, but he said, "I'm in love with you to" and from that day, we started dating. We were long distance a year. Now Im at college 30 min away from him and we've been together 2 years and plan on getting married within a couple years. Sometimes it's just a feeling, but sometimes it's something real, and what I believe is meant to be. Don't go crazy and think that my story could be yours. As far as taking chances, well it's the best decition I ever made, I told him I loved him just to let him know the truth and to keep myself from always wondering, but it turned out to be incredible. I will never regret that moment I took that huge risk. Just thought maybe this story might give you a bit of hope. But don't cheat on your boyfriend, and wait patiently until he is done with his gf before you say anything, because that is dishonest and unfair to your boyfriend, and his girlfriend.

Never ever follow pure emotion. Some of the best decisions I ever made I felt horrible about and some of the WORST decisions I ever made were made in complete peace and happiness.

You're happy with your boyfriend. Don't leave that for some inane emotion you have for "the one".

If you love him, go for him. Life is meant to be learned from so if you fail oh well atleast you knew that you guys wern't meant for eachother!

It sounds like you just like the idea of him. I agree with the previous comment, he chose his gf over you, so you don't need him.

Editing my post.

If you have a RL boyfriend now you need to break it off with your online love.

You've already stated the onlne lover chose his GF over you.

You deserve a man who puts you first - one who doesn't carry on with someone else (either in RL or online).

And your boyfriend deserves the same thing. If you're going to cheat on him with your german boy... then your boyfriend deserves a better woman.
