I don't see how that excludes someone falling in love. If you want to fall in love, you'll perceive the messages you receive as loving.

  Let me clarify then: falling in love requires two people sharing the emotion. Deciding you love somebody else when they don't reciprocate can happen anytime, anywhere, for any reason.

    Deciding you love somebody else when they don't reciprocate can happen anytime, anywhere, for any reason. So... it can happen over text message, then?

      Touche. In that format it becomes 2 people projecting reciprocation. You wouldn't be able to find out if there was any substance to it until they tried to stay together.

    Falling in love with someone does not require both people to share the emotion. For example, person A can fall in love with person B, even if person B hates person A. In fact, person A might fall even deeper in love with person B if person A is a masochist.

      "in love" implies you both love each other. He loves her. She loves him. They are "in love". Otherwise it's one or the other.

        Nope. You can "fall in love" and it not be reciprocated.

          In that case, we're talking about 2 totally different things. People can fall in love with an idea if it doesn't have to love you back.

            From the New Oxford American Dictionary: http://f.cl.ly/items/0D2y420L2t2t1W3c000I/love.png http://f.cl.ly/items/0D2y420L2t2t1W3c000I/love.png • a deep romantic or sexual attachment to someone: it was love at first sight | they were both in love with her | we were slowly falling in love.
