Hi,

I met someone in a chat room. We have been chatting in the room for quite a while. Then we would chat in private. We have exchanged pictures and e-mails. Just recently, he has called me. I think we are starting to develop feelings for each other.

He lives in Georgia. I'm in New York State. We have both been divorced for a couple of years.

I doubt we will ever meet. Is it possible for people to have an online "thing" without ever physically meeting?

Thanks,

Bunny

Sure. But don't fool yourself into calling it a "relationship" - it's exactly what you said. An online "thing". The question is why? If you want an actual relationship, you'll be better off to cut this thing off and not develop "feelings" for some online stranger. Emotionally healthy individuals don't get attached to people who aren't available.
