No it's not totally weird (though you might be insane for other reasons). Thing is, you've fallen in love with the idea of the person, not the actual person. And truly, it sounds more like an infatuation than even an idea of love. Basically, you have a crush.
I remember back in college there was this chick that I fell for hard. Except I never actually got to know her. Sure, we met a few times and shared the shortest conversations known to man, but I was under the impression that I truly had feelings for her. But I didn't. I just thought that there was some special connection between she and I that only we knew (I was convinced she felt something too...oh youth).
I didn't know anything about her really. I knew the superficial, peripheral stuff, but I really didn't know her as a person or anything about her that would lead me to believe that we were even remotely compatible or intended to be. Over time I forgot about her until I saw her at homecoming one year. She's married now to somebody who did love her and who did get to know her.
Point is, until you've actually met and gotten to really know somebody, it's fairly impossible to love them.
Lucky for us, we can love ourselves multiple times a day in the shower if necessary.
Yep. And that's why I don't believe in love at first sight. That's NOT love!!
I think the term "love at first site" means having a STRONG feeling that the person you met will be your future wife/husband. It doesn't literally mean you love them but that you're so sure you'll end up with them and oddly enough, the couples who are married often say it was "love at first site". It's basically the feeling of knowing they're "the one".
The second paragraph of this response is pretty much word for word an experience I JUST had. And when I found out he had a girlfriend it broke my heart. Silly me...
What about falling in love with someone you know and who is your friend ONLINE but never met?
Possible. In this case, you'd be in love mostly with his personality, cuz it's mostly talking without seeing each other. However, he can be a completely different person.... in person, and it's easier to grow apart in online relationships. If you feel strongly enough and it's possible, maybe try meeting him and see what happens.
I hope the asker wasn't talking about Bieber.
I started falling for Raphael in my Art History class...
