Are these people silly people or just madly in love?

Silly? Well ... ... put it this way, they seem to have [a lot] more money than sense!

Madly in love? I doubt it; ... realistically, how can someone claim to "love" another person if he/she hasn't met the "object of his/her affections"? Infatuated, perhaps ... but not "in love".

Infatuation - bordering on obsessiveness - can cause people to act in a , often irrational, manner ... like becoming unwittingly hooked on dating sites.
