It is possible but falling in love with someone online is like talking to a robot! You don't know who's talking or chatting, and you can't blame them if you find out something that hurts you. Falling in love seems easy these days but no, it requires trust, the connection between the two, mentally and emotionally, the support from each other, any one can love when the atmosphere is all about love and attraction but true one will stay in your hard times. Not against online love but prefer to interact more with people around you.
Love is beautiful.
Love!

It is definitely possible - especially if you have been talking to them for quite a while and have had deep and interesting conversations where their personality is showing. Never feel bad about falling in love with someone - you can't control your emotions. Think about what is making you fall in love with them and communicate this back to them if you feel like. Make sure that they feel the same way before taking this further though. Additionally, be aware of the dangers of speaking to strangers online and make sure that it is safe to talk to them and you don't see any red flags before committing to them. Have fun and be safe!

It's normal to feel that because some people take it personally. I've also had such feelings. Back then, I thought I did not know much but, today I have a better insight.
To answer the question, yes it's possible to fall in love online. A lot of people meet and marry off dating or matrimonial sites.
But, these are places designated for it and each has its own vibe. There's a right place for something and a right time too.
Don't expect the quality of a matrimonial site and a dating site to be same. Of course, both of them have spam.
The key is to find someone from the right environment and avoid "falling in love" with someone you only meet online. Maybe you find them online, but make it a point to meet them in person and interact long enough because sometimes you maybe even talking to someone/thing which is not as portrayed.
Also better stay off from doing this on some professional/networking/support websites.
They are just doing their duty & are not "in love" with you.

You have to be really, really, really, careful, when you're online. Please do not give out any personal information, to someone who you do not really know, that well. With that said "You can be friends with people online, that is fine." "You use the internet to support someone , which is ok to do." But to really love someone, that I feel needs to be done, in person, and not online. Be careful, while on line. Remember, "Stranger Danger". When I say "Stranger Danger", I mean, not everyone online, is nice. There are some, who want to hurt others, not always, but they are out there. So one has to be careful. I hope this helps that I answered your question, and I gave you some food for thought. Please stay internet safe and please stay safe offline as well.

Yes, falling in love with someone online IS possible. It may seem unlikely and extremely strange, but it is a possibility. But love can be many things, like just a phase or something more.
Be sure to know how you feel about the person, too.
For Example, are they around your age? Do they have similar interests? Do they live near you?
These would be important factors if you were to date or be in a relationship with them. How about them? Are they into you? Do you think they reciprocate your love?
Just remember, if things don't work out, it's ok.
Take care!
