Falling in love with someone you've never met - well, it's possible, I guess. If you know what you're looking for and haven't settled for less yet, you might come across someone who seems to be a good fit and you will know you've met your soul mate. My problem is all my few tentative good fits were/are forbidden in one way or another... at least, so far.

This is true but one could be falling in love with an illusion, esp if the other person has been carrying on a charade all the while... as is normal for Qatar with the MBAs (Married But Available) there! :P
