Is love already in the air?

Question

Can talking thru short, with short I mean, like 7 sentences, mails once everyday for almost a year now mean something more than "web friendship". They've not seen a glimpse of each other and they live half the world away. The guy doesn't even know the girl's name. No romantic sign can be found on the mails but the friendship is deeper than the real "face to face" friendship and they both admit that they make each other feel good in down times. Can you tell me reasons why anyone would have the patience to send mails to each other? Is the reason as simple as "wanting friends"?

Answer 1

Well, I personally do not believe in these type of love, I mean, how can two people love each other without meeting? and when u email, u have all the time to think and act, and then, u can pretend to be what u are actually not in real life. And I think there's nothing wrong with sending emails everyday, its just normal, its not love, its just deep friendship, or at the most, a crush. Thats all. Now if u friends start teasing them, they will feel they are in love and so on. So just let them carry on with their own lives.  

Answer 2

whats the point of loving someone if you dont even know who they are

Answer 3

Honestly, some people just need an outlet from everyday life and family. Besides therapy, forming an online friendship with someone far away that you don't know is a way to vent feelings or form a bond with someone without having the responsibility of a serious commitment. Not having to see that person face to face and being able to say how you feel without having to defend it or explain it can be freeing for some people. It is almost like having a journal that answers back but doesn't judge. You can say anything you need to say, and you don't have to worry about seeing the person the next day or worry about them telling anyone else you're friends with. While its possible the connection could be interpretted as able to grow into a romantic relationship, a few sentences over email everyday hardly warrants a life time love affair. There is way too much necessary contact eliminated for a legitimate, lasting relationship to form from that. There is no way of knowing what kind of interaction the two people will have if they were to ever meet. Of course they feel like ther friendship is deeper, but they have never had to be in the same room with each other. There is no reason for them to have ever had a fight, so while it is a friendship that is good for them, I would go so far as to say it is deeper than a "face to face" friendship.

It sounds like someone in your life is the one sharing these emails with another person, and you don't understand it or believe that it is nonromantic...it is probably just something that has become a comfort to the person emailing, and they do it mostly for themselves (to vent)rather than for the other person's benefit, and unless you make a big deal out of it, I don't think there is much to worry about...
