Can you really love someone that you've only talked to for two and a half years????

I met this guy through myspace about 2 and a half years ago. At the time he had a girlfriend so what we had i would say it was a deep friendship. He came to me about his problems for advice and vice versa. We talked like EVERYDAY about EVERYTHING. About a year after really talking he told me that he loved me and i felt the same way. he was still with his gf but they were really going through it. Now two and half years later we finally meet. The day of his birthday (a friday in dec,2007) we spent the entire day together and he spent the night (no sex). The whole day was wonderful and it felt like we've been hanging out forever. Now in jan.2008 we are talking about getting married (in the future but soon) we are planning on getting an apt together within this year (hopefully before the summer hits) I really love him and I know that he loves me too, but my mom is so certain that we don't know what love is because we are young (I'm 21 he is 22) and we've only been hanging out for 3 weeks

I suggest take it slow, see where it goes.

Can you really love someone that you've only talked to for two and a half years????

Move in and see how things go. Take it slowly, though. Living with someone really helps you see what things are going to be like.

Can you really love someone that you've only talked to for two and a half years????

Yes, you can. Of course, it can't be complete until you are together in person for awhile, because there are many things that come up at that time (besides sex) which are not apparent in phone calls and in the short span of time you have been together..On the other hand, I have known many 50+ year marriages that started out when the couples were in their teens and early 20s.

Can you really love someone that you've only talked to for two and a half years????

yeah actually you can....you can fall in love with someone in a few weeks (which is really hard to know though, just because you do doesnt mean you'd know it............)

but yeah defiantly

sounds sweet actually

Can you really love someone that you've only talked to for two and a half years????

Can you? Yes.

And whether you make it as a couple has a lot to do with how 'real' the conversations have been.

Have you talked about the hard stuff? What about your requirements for a mate; the deal-breaker stuff? Have you talked about values and goals? Have you talked frankly about money, kids, careers, where to live?

Can you really love someone that you've only talked to for two and a half years????

Yes, I think it's possible. I caught strong feelings for a guy I was chatting with a couple of years ago but unfortunately, when we met, I didn't feel the spark. I just wasn't physically attracted to him but the feelings weren't mutual. I felt bad but I had to be honest with him. I hope you have a happy ending. :)

Can you really love someone that you've only talked to for two and a half years????

Love comes in many funny forms. Besides, since you've been talking for a couple years, surely you know a lot about each other. I wish you the best of luck and happiness.

Can you really love someone that you've only talked to for two and a half years????

if you really feel the love and like you know him go for it but take it slower than usual to avoid it schemed over hun

Can you really love someone that you've only talked to for two and a half years????

you guys are moving to fast/ slow it down, you skipped the hole relationship and just went right to the moving in together and blah blah blah, you guys could be in love, love doesnt have a time were it kicks in or a place where it kicks in, love is love and it is always their at different times and different places of your life you just gotta slow down give it a few months/ dont make your first marriage something you regret you know/

Can you really love someone that you've only talked to for two and a half years????

I think you should wait another two and a half years. Just to be sure.

Can you really love someone that you've only talked to for two and a half years????

Most of your time getting to know each other was online. What you need to do is spend time together. I think you need more than 3 weeks to decide that you are still compatible when you are physically with this person.

Can you really love someone that you've only talked to for two and a half years????

honestly, it probably is more infatuation, but if you do care for him and you think you're both ready, then there's nothing wrong with getting married while being infatuated. i did and it's great. all marriages take work and that's the same for people who've been dating for 10 years or 10 days. if you feel it's right and he feels it's right, then do what your heart says and good luck. most important thing to remember about marriage tho: it's going to be hard. you two WILL say things you don't mean and hear things you won't like, but in the end you have to work hard over and over to stay together. good luck and enjoy

Can you really love someone that you've only talked to for two and a half years????

That's great! You've actually know him for 2 1/2 years. Hang out a little longer to see how it goes before you move in together. Good luck.

Can you really love someone that you've only talked to for two and a half years????

I think you are moving to fast with this guy, so is this other girl out of the picture. i would take it slowly as continue to be friends, I would put the marriage talking off until we get to know each other better.

Can you really love someone that you've only talked to for two and a half years????

dont ONLY 3 weeks???

usualy 3 weeks isnt enough to trust fully a g/f / b/f

it could be a trap of some kind

...let more time...the apt yea go for it...but dont get married...get to kno him first

Can you really love someone that you've only talked to for two and a half years????

u have a myspace realtionship..thats normal now a days..no one can tell u what real love is..u are the judge of that..do what u feel is best but take some more time to get to know him outside of the internet..even in face to face realtionship when u move in with someone they flip the script on you so be carefull and take it slow..make sure he doesnt have a gf either..alot of guys do that ..chat it up with some girl on myspace and have a gf on the side...hope it works out...

Can you really love someone that you've only talked to for two and a half years????

it is very possible to love someone that you have only talked to over the phone/internet/letters....but you need to spend way more time with him then just tha one time, b/c you will never truly know a person until you spend time with them daily....just don't jump into it, b/c then things are bound to go wrong. But keep it simple and on a friends level, and don't be easy....you can still tell him that u love him, but don't go and shack up with him until you truly know him face to face for at least 6 months.

Good Luck To You!

And BTW I'm Not Just Giving You Advice That I Haven't Dealt With.

I Was With A Guy Over The Internet For 5 Years. And We Broke Up Because He Was Completely Different Face To Face.

Can you really love someone that you've only talked to for two and a half years????

I don't think so. I think that you really have to be around someone IN PERSON before you can really know them. Face it, on the internet, we all present the best versions of ourselves, not our true selves. Twenty-one is very young but I wouldn't say it is too young in all cases. However, your mom certainly knows you a lot better than anyone here does and she is certainly only looking out for your best interests. Truly, what is the hurry? Get to know one another before you make a lifetime committment and ABSOLUTELY DO NOT move in together before you are married. It is a recipe for disaster once you are married.

Can you really love someone that you've only talked to for two and a half years????

No one can tell you how you feel but yourselves. Sounds like you guys have developed a pretty deep relationship. I think more often people mistake a physical connection (ie great sex) with love. It's a different way that you have gone about getting together, but I think it's great that you really got to know each other first.

Can you really love someone that you've only talked to for two and a half years????

I would normally say no, but last year I met someone, and a week later we were already dating. Ever since, we have been spending every night with each other, he finally brought his dirty laundry to my place, so I think it is official now, we are living together. We are expecting our first child, so who am I to say it can't be love?? Go for it, you will never find out until you give it a shot. It might not work, but you don't want to spend the rest of your life wondering what it might've been like, right?

Can you really love someone that you've only talked to for two and a half years????

in reality you've only seen each other physically for 3 weeks, but really have known each other for a while. I believe that it is love that you are feeling, you felt this way even before you actually met him so its not just lust. I think you should listen to your heart and tell your mother that it is your future not hers and if you are making a mistake then you will learn, mistakes are a blessing in disguise.. and she will eventually get over it.

Can you really love someone that you've only talked to for two and a half years????

First of all, your mom is wrong on this one sister. It's usually the older people in this world who forget what love was; it's not the younger people who don't know what love is.

I think after talking to this guy for so long, you probably have a good idea of what his personality is like. It sounds like you are not rushing into this, but you are whole-heartedly pursuing the next step(s). I see nothing wrong with that. Now that you've met, you're probably more thrilled because of all of your conversations. It's not like you just ran into this guy three weeks ago. So to answer your question, yes, I do think it's possible for you to be in love at this point.

Go for it, full steam ahead!

Can you really love someone that you've only talked to for two and a half years????

Yes, I think it's possible b/c that's how it kinda happened with the love of my life but we didn't meet on myspace. Listen to your heart only u know what u feel and what u want to do. Our parents are here for advice but the final decision is ours. GOOD LUCK!!
