First of all, I don't want to offend anyone by appearing to make light of something as serious as marriage. That's not my intention, so I apologize in advance if I offend anyone.

I have been chatting with someone online for over a year. I have had an intense attraction to him from the beginning. Even before I saw pictures of him, I think it was his personality and the way we interacted. Later I saw pictures of him and was attracted to his pictures too. Pretty much what I expected.

He has been the one to pursue me this whole past year and we can't seem to get enough of each other. We never run out of things to talk about and seem to see eye to eye on almost all issues, social, political issues, etc.

I brought up the topic of marriage awhile ago just to see how he would respond. I wasn't really serious and figured he would freak out and run. But the idea never seems to freak him out. He starts asking me questions about it, where we would live, our plans, etc. Almost like he's entertaining the idea. Asking if I want kids, how we would raise our kids, etc. He even agreed to it, multiple times now, every time I bring it up. Its always me to bring it up, but whenever I do he seems to like it and get excited about it.

Could he be serious? I'm not sure I'm serious, myself, but admittedly the idea is kind of exciting. Probably because I'm infatuated with this man and my infatuation isn't going away at all, even after a year of chatting.

Is it really possible to fall in love online like that?

I have had other relationships, real life relationships, for years, etc. But I've never met someone I just seemed to mesh with so well on so many levels.

Am I delusional? Maybe this is just a fantasy for both of us which will never make it to real life?
