I think you could fall in love with anyone if you saw the parts of them no one else gets to see. Like if you followed them around invisibly for a day and saw them crying in their bed at night or singing in the shower or humming quietly to themselves as they make a sandwich or even just walking along the street. And even if they were really weird and had no friends at school, I think, after seeing them at their most vulnerable, you wouldn’t be able to help falling in love with them.
This is why it’s so much more easy to fall in love with fictional characters than people in real life. Because we get to see them from the inside out.
I think this is also why its easier to make friends online. You don’t see the face they put up at school or at home or whatever. They are freer and talk more honestly on their blog more likely than not, and you get a real sense of the person vs. that which everyone see’s.
