Love someone you've not met?. Is It possible to fall in love with a person without ever setting eyes on them?
Many of us insist that looks aren't important when it comes to true love, but does that mean we can find our soulmate in an internet chatroom or on the phone?
MY Sun users gathered on our woman forum to ask whether a voice can tell you all you need to know.
"Yes it can happen! I've been there," declares medusa93. "While others around me told me 'You will be disappointed if you ever met them', I took no notice.
"It enabled us to explore each other's minds, rather than just then looking at each other physically."
LadyBug78 agrees, though she's still searching for her happy ending: "I met my ex on an internet forum for amateur writers and it was his writing I fell in love with first.
"It was disastrous relationship, but even now I read his stuff and it makes my heart skip a beat."
More 'Mr Write' than 'Mr Right'?
Real Love
"You can be totally attracted to someone by what they write and the sound of their voice... but you cannot surely call it love unless you are with them?" asks boabywan.
"You can have a crush, or lust for them, but not love" insists trashpalace. "True love comes from knowing someone and spending time with them in person."
Jandu, however, thinks words are windows to the soul:
"There have been many authors I've fallen in 'love' with over the years. A few I've even met. Generally, most have displayed the traits in person that comes across in their writing - an ability to connect with their readers' inner person."
Maybe, it's just too easy to add too many expectations onto a person you've never met. severin thinks so: "The problem is that sooner or later you start to imagine all kinds of other features of that unknown person.
"You have the feeling that you have fallen in love with someone completely different."
But isn't friendship the most important part of a relationship?
"I don't know about falling in love but I have a few very good friendships with people abroad who I "met" over the net," says Kaur1O1. "I have only ever shared instant messages, e-mails or telephone calls with them, but am as close to them as to any of my 'real life' friends."
There are those, of course, whose voices have people swooning at their feet: "I am in love with Alan Rickmans voice... I just know he will be all that I imagine him to be!
"Same goes for Sean Connery!
"Jeremy Irons! He has the most gorgeous voice..."
Blimey, phoebe81. It sounds like you're in love with half of Hollywood. And not the half who spend millions on their faces.
Is true love really blind? Can you love someone you've never set eyes on?
