I agreer with sweet...you can make up all sorts of crap on the phone, in a controlled environment but when life and reality kicks in everything changes...its real easy for someone to SAY he's someone but when it comes to acting the same way...fat chance. Thats why I would rather meet someone F2F before even talking to em on the phone, I've been disappointed way too many times. Lets face it...there's the person we WANT to be, Then there's the person we ACTUALLY are, and the phone makes it way to easy to confuse the 2.

Love doesn't happen that fast, that would be infatuation or lust. Also, it's easy to like someone over the internet or phone, but it's a lot different when in person. I thought I really liked this guy I had met online before, but when we met and I saw how he acted, what his habits were, how he treated him mom, strangers, etc. Ugh, no way would we ever be a lasting couple. There are things that you can only find out about a person while in person.

Well, to answer your question, yes------------  people can fall in love with the inside of someone and looks can be cast aside.  However, that is not what I think is going on here.  First, I really feel that love is more than talking on the phone, text or email and takes longer than 2 weeks.  They are infatuated with one another, not in love.  They look forward to meeting, but not in love.  And it is really easy to get along with someone when you've never met them.  Real life has a hard time interfering then, doesn't it.  

It sounds like two people who really want something in their life creating it.  No one gets out of the tough work of building a relationship--------------  and they will have to backtrack once they actually do meet.  

I had the hugest crush on someone-----------  young love.  Then . . . he kissed me for the first time. . .   YUCK.  It was over.  We had no actual physical chemistry.  Physical chemistry is something you need to be in person to find out about.  

So, yes---------  a couple can make looks irrelavent to their romance however never having met means the romance really has yet to begin in my opinion.  Luck to them though.  May the reality be as good as the fantasy!!
