Can you be in love with someone from a distance?

Just by talking on the phone. No physical contact yet. Wanting to be with that person all the time. Making plans to be with that person.

"In love" is about chemicals in the brain - love is quite different.

@Human1000 can you expand on that?

@NaturalBeautyQueen Sure -- In romantic love, when two people have sex (phone or in person), oxytocin is released, which helps bond the relationship. That's the "in love" euphoria.

@Human1000 gotcha! Thanks!

You bet -- it's just good to know when making life decisions that there is a quasi addiction element to oxytocin. @NaturalBeautyQueen

@Human1000 that’s true.
