do you think.. its possible to love someone that you do not know well?

i am love with this guy, and i would like to get to know him better but i cannot because he is taken. but my feelings for him are stronger than any other guy in my life, even some that i had some short relationships with

maybe i am shallow, but to me, there are some certain qualities that if a person has then, i can overlook any other flaw. and i think that this guy has those things (very kind, respectful, gentle eyes, physically attractive to me.)
hes not the most physically attractive person in the world, but i find him attractive, he has fit arms, soft brown hair.
he is a gentleman and a "nice boy" type.

i am in love with him.. and my feelings for him are very strong, but i dont know him well. and some people say that this isnt real love because i dont know him. i wouldnt "die for him" or something like that. but my feelings for him are so strong, and my thoughts about him are not only sexual, but other things too. and its not just an obsession or something. i want to be with him and i really think that it can work out and i just wish that i could have a chance to get to know him better.

i get "crushes" on celebrities, actors, and some other people in real life.
i have had a very few short-lived boyfriends, the relationship lasted only a few weeks, it was never anything serious and i never had much feelings for them.

but this guy, i think about him a lot. and i wish that i knew him better, and i knew that if i had a chance with him that it could work out.
personally im pretty easy going and i think that he is too. i think we could have a good relationship.
the feelings are so strong that i cant just forget about him and find someone else, that is the problem. i cannot find someone else that makes me feel the same way. im not looking for someone to replace him. but i cant even find someone else that i am so attracted to and that i have such strong feelings for. there is something about him that does this to me..

i know that unless i find something terrible about him like hes a criminal( (and im pretty sure hes not) or he cheated on me orsomething that bad, that i will still love him. even if i found that he was a criminal depending on what he did and how bad it was then maybe i dont care about that either. the thing is that he has certain qualities that i dont really care what his bad qualities are. i know that i dont know him well so maybe i will find some things about his personality that bothers me. but i can overlook it, i dont care because there isnt anything that will outweigh the good things that i see in him.

actually when someone tells me that my feelings are not love but just a crush or an obsession, i feel hurt, like there is somethig wrong with me. maybe this is the way that i love someone, by falling for them and then wishing that i could know them better. maybe i do think about them more than a "normal" person would, but does it mean that it isnt love just because i think about them too much? i do naturally have an obsessive personality so just because i think a lot about someone even when i dont know them that much yet, doesnt mean its *not* love or that it couldnt become love. maybe it is the first step of a "real love", and i really do feel like i love this man.

so do you think its possible to love someone you dont know that well?
