i belive it is. i fell in love with my boyfriend over the phone without meeting him in person. And when i did i didn't care about how he look or if he was hot or not because i love him. And i think that is a way to know if u really like someone or not. and i do think its normal and i hope u too should be happy if u both love each other weather is through the phone.

It is possible yes, being able to connect with a person emotionally is so important and I believe that this can happen without having actually met that person. I do however think that seeing a picture of them helps so that you can at least put a face to the person on the other end of the phone. (You have met him once before so perhaps this is a little different for you.

Who ever made up the rules of falling in love anyway, why does it have to be done in the conventional way??

After all, in the Victorian days early courtship often took place through letter writing. Through talking and spending hours on the phone you have got to know each other as people in the emotional and spiritual sense. When you meet up, which will be a scary but exciting moment you will both already have formed a solid foundation for a strong relationship.

Good luck to you!

Follow your gut instinct and go with it

leanne.od agony auntsometimes it's better to fall in love over the phone because you know that it's not just about the physical attraction. i defo believe you van fall in love with someone by their personality and charm alone.

bewitch66 agony auntI met this guy on line and we spoke on the phone for a few months before we met and I have to say that the love of the mind is stronger than any other love..I love him so very much and its been almost 6 months and I feel the same intensity..although he is going at a slower pace but I know he is falling for me...Give it time and you will see how beautiful it will be.

So yes it is possible.

I know somebody who fell in love with sombody else over the telephone so yes I have to admit that it is possible.

Without seeing the person you get to know more of the personality and so get to know more about the inside of a person as opposed to their looks and what is on the outside.

My friend has now been happily married for fourteen years and has a couple of kids. They are inseparable and very happy even though they never met for the first five months of phone calls and spent three of those months in love before they even met.

Compared to this you have met this guy and so know more about what he is about. In my eyes that puts you on a stronger starting plate.

You answer the question yourself though -

You ask is it possible to fall in love over the telephone yet you write like somebody that is in love already.

It looks like your answer to your question is a yes then.

I guess anything is possible. And what is normal for me may not be for you and vice versa. So I wouldn't worry about what is "normal" or not.

Anyways, I personally cannot fall in love with a person over the phone. I am a very visual person and I need to see the person and interact with the person face to face in order to make the assumption that I am in love. I need to see his expressions at my advances, and see his face and his reactions in general. I need physical interaction. The first time he holds my hand. Looking into his eyes. Watch him talk, laugh, be serious. All that stuff. I need to see it and live it.

But I guess everybody is different.

kenny agony auntI would say its possible to fall in love over the phone, also you have both met each other too. You are both talking for 4 or five hours on the phone so over this time you are building up a certain rapport with each other, finding out lots of different things, and feeling totally comfortable. Have you told him how you feel?. Do you both talk on the phone alot because you both live along way from each other?.

All the best x
