HALP! Is this MFP Love or Infatuation?

So there's this guy...

I think about him night and day when we aren't talking, face timing, texting or private messaging. Its still early but I feel like he knows and understands me better than anyone because we have discussed everything. I am not sure if its love or infatuation. I never thought it would be possible to feel this way about someone I've never met who lives in a different state.

I see a lot of threads about crushes and Mfp relationships so I know it's common to form bonds and connections on here.

How can you tell the difference between if something is love or infatuation when it's strictly online on a fitness website? Do these Mfp relationships and crushes that people get usually last or do they eventually fizzle out?

    Infatuation. Until you spend time together in real life it isn't love.

    I met a guy on here when I was new. Thought it was love and he said so too. Time came for him to visit and I found out he was married.

    I'd say its person by person...Not gonna paint everything with such a broad brush. Why not meet in person and see for yourself if its real or not?

    In person or on internet, some people are honest and some people are not.

    I'd say at this point in time it is infatuation. You can't really be sure until you spend time with said person in real life. You could be completely different.

    I developed a small crush on someone but quickly caught myself mentally saying, "this is lame." You'll probably come to that conclusion too. But hey, if it's meant to be, it will be. (:

    None of that matters, OP. The question is, how many calories do you burn being infatuated? That's what really counts.

    I agree with this ^^ Slapping a one size fits all on something doesn't mean it does ;)

    I sleep in the bushes in front of my MFP crush's house. I call that love and dedication.

    also keep in mind some on here do not post their own pics, so you may be crushing on someone who is not who they say they are.

    What do you do to make sure pictures are real and it's really the person you think it is behind the image?

    If they do, that's moronic. Is that why so many people don't show their faces? lol
