Is it possible to develop feelings for someone you met online?

Home More advice Love & Relationships

I met a guy in one of those social networking websites. I wasn't looking for any sort of relationship when we met. During our first conversation he gave me this very good vibe about him, he made me feel ecstatic. There was just something about him that made me want to continue talking to him. After we talked for a bit that night, he proceeded to tell me that he would like to continue talking to me because he liked the way our conversation had gone, I agreed. I too anticipated talking to him again. He promised he would be on the next day and sure enough he was there waiting for me. Now it has only been a little over a month since we've been talking to each other, we talk for hours through mic, cam, text or phone. I love talking to him, he's told me that he likes me a lot...I like him very much too but I have this little voice in the back of my mind that always keeps reminding me if this is real (this is online). I have generated feelings toward him same goes for him for me. My question is, is any of this possible? I know that we won't know for sure if what's going on between us is real until we meet in person. I fear that it may be moving a bit too fast. I have always been told to take my time when it comes to situations like these.

I'm the type of person that likes to keep myself in check, to be in control of my feelings. With all of this it's like I have no control over them.

We have a lot in common. Talking to him has brought a lot of joy and happiness into my life.

Did I mention that he's from another country? I just have a lot of thoughts about this that I can't even put them in order, to be honest I've never been in a relationship before.
