I believe you can... take Benedick and Beatrice for example from Shakespeare's "much to do about nothing" play. I know that it is only fiction but it is a good example... The pair were constantly fighting but their friends knew that they should be together but they didnt. Their friends told each one of the two that the other one loved the other and they believed it and suddenly they were both madly in love with each other, but still denied it. But I think they always knew inside somewhere that they liked each other but they either never searched that deeply inside themselves or were in complete denial to listen to their consience.

yes because when you think about it, real love is not all about the looks or seeing that person....so it is possible that someone can be in love with someone without seeing them. but to make sure its really love just test the person a little bit. you know from time to time. remember the most important thing to know in a relationship is to know that you can rely on the other..and if they are all too ready to give up the relationship or are ready to call it quits when something goes wrong instead of sticking with you then that might not be real love. so consider that. trust me its happed to me just recently.
Answer
Yes, they can.
Yes of course you can love someone without being intimate. There are other ways to tell if you have a connection and love someone without being intimate or physical. You can just tell sometimes like by looking into their eyes and the strength of the connection and the feeling you two get or just you even get when you are together.
