A new study from Bumble has found that 67% of Brits now believe its possible to fall in love with someone they have never met in real life. As a result, it is possible to develop feelings with somebody that you have not yet met in real life – but there is a big difference between real love and infatuation.

Is it weird to date someone youve never met?

A person cannot fall in love with someone he or she has never met in person. You can really, really, really get to know someone, and the potential for real love can certainly be present. In other words, online chatting is a very real way to connect and decide if there are possibilities for the two of you.
