-_-...that's as stupid as "if a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it does it still make a sound?"

and no, if you haven't met the person then you can't miss then because in order to miss them you must have already meet them.

What if you never met the person in a physical way. But you've met the person on... lets say the internet? You can still miss the person. Bah i dont know lol

I think it's possible to miss someone you've never met.

You can long for someone right? So you can miss a person in your life, someone you need or want.

If that's what you mean.

Or you can miss someone from your dreams while that person has never been in your real life.

If i understand you correctly thats more longing for a feeling that a person can provide more than missing "them".

That was pretty stupid.

Physically being next to said person isn't all there is to the feelings you may have with em, if you talk to somoene and get to know them, I see no reason why you couldn't.

Say you play silkroad, you make some friends, get in a nice guild, havin lots of fun ingame with your friends/guild, the game shuts down suddenly and never comes back up, you have no way of contacting them, wouldn't you miss them? Doin the stuff with your friends/guild ingame?

Despite this being the internet, we are real people.

Yea it's freakin possible, cmon lol.

But you are meeting them. Just because you haven't seen them in person its still "meeting" them. A lot of this comes down to what you define "meeting" someone as. If you are simply referring to a physical contact than of course its possible. But i personally believe meeting someone can be emotional as well, not just physical.

Yeah I think it's possible to miss someone you've never met.
Say your parents got seperated and you've never seen your real Dad in your entire life, I'd miss him if it were me regardless of the fact that I'd never met him. I'd still miss not having him around to play catch with me and cheer me on when my team wins a game.

But i think thats missing a feeling or emotion someone can provide rather than missing the actual person. I guess thats just perspective though.

its possible, like if you had a parent/grandparent die before you were born and you hear lots of story about them i think you would miss/want to meet them

The same with me, my Granddad died when my dad was very young, 16 I think. So I never got to meet him, I miss him, because of when my dad talks about him. I miss the fact that I never got to meet him.

You can miss them, but you would miss them more if you knew them

I always fail to see what's to discuss about these things.

When a tree falls it makes just as much sound with a human near as it does without one near.
And I'm sure some people can miss / long for someone they haven't met.

If you were blind and deaf is it impossible to miss anybody?

I believe that when you miss someone you've never met, you probably just miss the idea/concept/feeling behind it. One can miss the ideal wife, for example. :)

because someone are deaf and blind, they can't miss someone you said. Their sense of touch is well developed and they have the ability to know people, they’re still human. think about that.

If a person had no senses could they miss anything then. O_o

Well if the topic is about someone you never met I am kinda basing it off that. If you never heard seen touched smelled or tasted (uh..) someone, what are you going to miss.
The only thing that comes to my mind is the feeling of not being alone, but yeah.

If they have no senses. They can't feel that they are alive. You can't feel anything. You can taste anything. You can't see anything. You can't hear anything. You can't smell anything.
You would even know you were alive?
