What are you thinking? (Part 2)

I have a very weird question.

I obviously haven't done long distance since I was 15 or 16, back when I was dumb an naïve with these kinds of things. So here I am. Talking to an amazing girl that says all the right things at all the right time, she says all the right things at the wrong time, and all the wrong things at the right time. It just blows my mind. We both don't normally talk to people in this way. We send each other 20 paragraph messages xD She feels that we were meant to be, we have definitely grown a special bond with each other. Something I don't want to ever lose.

Now here is the weird thing. I know a fair bit about her, and she knows a bit about me. She doesn't know my real name (well she does, and she doesn't, It's really weird). I just told her my age, but she doesn't know if I am a guy or a girl (she must assume one) and she hasn't seen what I look like. I'm really confused myself. Yet though all of our conversations. I feel like I'm falling for her, and she's falling for me. It's like it just happened. Call me crazy but we make each other happy.

My question isn't "does long distance work?" or about the situation as a whole.

My question is simply. Is it possible for somone to fall in love with a person's personality without knowing their gender, or their appereance?

I'd say yes - blind people manage it all the time :suggestive:

Isn't that a bit like the Holy Grail of relationships though, to be utterly won over by a personality rather than more shallow attributes? Sure, physical attraction is important too but personality is what's left once you can't afford Botox anymore ;)

I think it is possible, unless they're shallow, but she doesn't sound like she cares about either of those things.

it's easily possible. we fall for looks or personality. but, just in case, be careful of being catfished. as the saying goes: "All that glitters is not gold"

CT: Claire Redfield is a lesbian? Someone pointed it out on another site, and it makes a whole lot of sense in my honest opinion.

She is a lesbian.

I do think it's possible to fall in love with someone without knowing what they look like, but I wouldn't be quick to assume that you'll feel the same way if you do see them and there isn't a physical attraction. I've seen a lot of those 'Catfish' shows where one side keeps insisting they'll love the other regardless of what they look like because they've talked to the other person for hours on end and have a real connection, only to very quickly 'get over it' once it turns out they've been talking to Frankenstein. And honestly, I've seen it too many times to believe that appearance doesn't matter at all.

As to whether or not long distance works - I think it depends on how long you intend for the relationship to be long distance for. Do you plan on meeting her in a few months, or a few years? I don't believe in putting your life on hold for someone you've never met, honestly and I'd cut her loose in about 2 years or so if a meeting never materializes. A young man who once worked for me had an online girlfriend, and honestly I thought it was the silliest thing because he couldn't go out and have fun and meet other girls. To my knowledge they never ended up meeting and he spent a good year of his life alone because he was so attached to this person he didn't know. And remember - everyone online shows you exactly what they want you to see. The internet is the perfect breeding ground for fantasies - it allows you to ascribe all the wonderful characteristics you'd like in a partner to someone you've never met. You only know what she tells you - she could be very different in person so be careful.

So, just be careful - and don't let the years go by without meeting face-to-face. :)

My family is trying to make me eat fish for dinner. Hahahah no. Seafood is revolting. *shivers*
OMG, I love fish. About three or four years ago I found it nasty as well, but my friend introduced me to sushi and weirdly enough and once I developed a pallet for raw seafood I just can't get enough. And Red Lobster is amazing.

Thank you everyone. It was greatly appreciated. I hope that the whole "Catfishing" thing doesn't happen either. For some reason I'm not entirely worried about it, but I do hope that there is some honesty behind it. The thing is, she has been thinking about moving to Canada, so the possibility is very real. But other than that. I guess I can only hold on for hope, see how things go from here. She is really cute though, that I can say. She also has a perfect personality thinks like me and seems to be a lot like me. I just hope she doesn't agree to just agree, I just get the weird feeling that that isn't the case. Or maybe I'm just crazy. In time I suppose I'll know. I do agree that there does need to be a limit in reality, but I'm also very open to the possibilities. She's pretty amazing imho :3

So thank you everybody.
