Is it possible to fall in love during Corona?

I'm just wondering has anyone else fallen in love during this pandemic?

I joined tinder like a week before this pandemic kicked off (I've been single for more than 2 years and was in a good headspace joining) and got chatting to someone nice straight away.

Plans for dates had to work around my free time with the kids so got put off and then my country (not uk) went into total lockdown so was unable to meet him. We have been chatting daily now with 4/5 weeks.

We talk every single day, texts, voice memos, videos, FaceTime, phone calls you name it. Phone calls can go on for hours (when the kids are asleep)

We play ask me anything daily so I know more about him than anyone else I've ever dated previously, we have similar interests and hobbies yet enough seperate interests to keep it interesting still and he's so calm, cool and collected he makes me feel so relaxed. And he's funny. Sooooo funny. He makes me smile sooooo much, ticks all the right boxes.

I really feel like I'm falling for him but not sure if it's real because we haven't met? I'm like a giddy love struck teenager and I'm a grown ass woman so please tell me to tone it down or just
Go with it?

Enjoy it..lots of negative comments. What happened to Be Kind last month ey?

Confused huh? I can only see one negative comment. The rest are saying enjoy it for what it is but also be clear about what it is.

Which I think sensible advice.

I'm getting fed up of seeing "be kind" rolled out every time posters arent in 100% agreement with the op.

Hardly anyone has been unkind. Just telling op to be cautious.

I'm in a similar position OP. But someone I've known for years.

Two weeks ago we suddenly went from friends to more and slept together right before the world went mad.

Now we speak all day every day and the idea of not being able to see or touch each other for weeks/months is driving us insane!

As wonderful as it is I know our feelings are exaggerated/escalated at the moment so being grounded is good advice!

@forrasee I'm going to try be more grounded and maybe not as hopeful.

And to the poster who asked does he smell of fish? Is this a common dating question? I'm new to the game.
