Yes, it is. I know because I love someone I’ve never met.
Why does a couple have to meet in order to fall in love? Wouldn’t it subtract the factor of lust? Seems legit to me. The last time I checked, love is affection you feel about another. I don’t understand why you can’t love someone just because you’ve never seen them. You can say you love sharks but you’ve never swam with them. You can say you love a band, but you’ve never hung out with them. You can say you love Jesus and God, or Vishnu or Buddha, but you’ve never met them either. Does that mean the love for them isn’t real? Of course not. You can fall in love with someone because of their personality and what they show you. You can love anyone regardless of any obstacle or limitation.
People might ask, “What if they’re hiding something from you? What if they’re fake? It’s easy to hide things online, right?” Well, you can hide things in person, too. You’ll never know if your husband is an online predator, or if your boyfriend is already married. You’ll never know if the goodie-two-shoes best friend you’re secretly in love with is a prostitute and does hard drugs. It’s another part of loving someone and it’s called trust and communication. You can trust and communicate with anyone regardless of meeting or distance. You can love anyone regardless of meeting or distance.
I’ve never met my boyfriend but I love him because it’s like I’ve already seen him. I’ve seen how he is. I’ve seen him at his worst and his best. When he yells at me and makes me cry, or when I yell at him or make him cry. When we both make mistakes that shake the relationship, when we say the most hurtful things to each other. Through everything, we still know we’re in love and at the end of the day, it’s just me and him. No, we’ve never hugged or talked face to face. But I know him so much better than I know almost everyone who actually live here and who I get to actually hang out with. I know him enough to love him, regardless of the distance and regardless of meeting face to face.
Never meeting and long distance don’t play a factor in our relationship. We know each other better than anyone else and we’re happy together. Why should it matter?
