Can you really miss or love someone even if you haven't met him?

The devastatingly beautiful word, Hiraeth.

a word used to describe a time or place you cannot return to, or one that never was.
Similarly, “Hiraeth” can be the yearning for something that cannot be experienced, attained, or completed.
The piece of music you won’t hear, or the garden you’ll never visit. Perhaps a person you won't ever talk to, or someone who never existed at all.

As you put it in your question, is there a word for missing something you never had?

Yes. It’s “Hiraeth”.
