Is it normal to fall in love with someone who is far away?

Well I kind of agree with all of the comments so far. Personally I met someone on a pen pals website some mints back who lives 200 miles away. Ok not as far as u but hardly down the road. We chatted on msn then started calling and finally met up. He was exactly how he came across over the net, and he said I was too. There were no surprises, first time we met it was weird cuz we knew so much about each other but had never been in the same room! We hit it off and now are dating, and doin fine. Yes ppl can be different behind a screen, and ppl can also be the same. Time will tell and what will be will be, good luck!

The heart wants what it wants. Just remember, I don't care how much time you've spent chatting, web cam, phone calls, skype, whatever, people ARE different in real life.

The biggest problem here is that you may be very attracted to someone through pictures, their voice on the phone may turn you on, you can probably talk for hours and hours but the sad thruth is that although you may have all of the chemistry in the world on the phone you may meet in person and not be attracted to each others energy, aura or whatever you want to call it. It may also be that you guys hit it off right away but I feel safe to say that 95% of encounters do not go as plans and the other downfall to all of this is that you may be putting your life on hold waiting for someone whom you have not met yet so in reality you are falling in love with an ideal. I feel that if it is meant to be it will be but you should go on with your life and tell her to do the same but still keep in touch once in a while and if it is meant to be it will be, but don't stop living because the love of your life may be lurking right around your corner!

cinnalife's comment makes sense.People are completely different in real life. You should try another girl..look at the world population..women are not that scarce.

Dude, soon enough, if not already, this girl will have a boyfriend... sucks but it's gonna happen, and she won't care that much for you and unless you actually meet...well..

I disagree with the fact that people are different irl. The only difference is their actions. Their voice is the same, their feelings and personality are the same. They just have a body behind it. It's not that big of a deal.

I think it's normal. You may not last 3 years but if you happen to then it'll be worth it. If not, then enjoy it while you can and have no regrets.

Lol sorry I meant we met some months back, not mints!!!

If u want it to work it will but it's true ppl are diff In person but who knows but u what u are willing to do or make work good luck to u

In real life ppl are way different! Im sorry but you could be disapointed maybe:/

What sucks about it is that you think you found the right person yet they live so far. When you found that person, you kinda don't want someone else.. I say it's normal. It will be tough for both of you but if you can last that long, I don't think anything will be able to separate you guys. Good luck.

I will say no. It is not normal, I have been chatting a lot, and I also did find myself attracted to the girl I was talking to. I think you should stop dwelling inside and go out. Perhaps you will find someone you like.

Totally truth, I agree with you two

if you trully feel that you care for her so much, then distance shouldn't come beetween you guys!(:
