How do you know if your online friend really cares about you?

[Anonymous]

Like, how am I supposed to know if my online friend only talks to me when he's bored?

[sassy1433]

If he’s your friend why would you think that? Straight up just ask him, don’t assume or take what we say.
Have u met this friend and when u chat with him does he ask questions and gives u quality replies? Or 1 worded answers hours after u ask him something?

Haven't met him yet but we're planning to meet each other one day. He says that he'll reveal his identity soon so that we can be "real friends" on the internet, etc.

But no he generally always gives quality replies. Sometimes it takes him a few hours to reply, sometimes 1 day and sometimes 2. And yeah he asks questions sometimes. And he sometimes initiates the conversations (e. g: asking about my day, how I'm doing, etc), but in general it's mostly me

You can't. I've trusted a few times and half the time I got burned

I saw someone somewhere staged their own death and sent out links to their obituary to all of their online friends to see who would show up. So that’s one way you could find out.

Can't ever trust online. That's why it's important to see in person. The closest you can get is video chatting, but it's still not the same.

You can tell by he/she chats with you a lot , ask more questions and showing sign of caring and worrying.


Tbh its hard to tell..

Well my online friend Izzy almost always answers my DM's if she's not busy or asleep because she lives in another country

[Jltakk]

I don't know, and I'm apathetic towards it tbh. I've been lied to and ignored so much, that any interaction is an alright way to kill time.

If he textes you first and gives you fast replies

[FakeNIK]

Talk with me, you'll know

[Anonymous]

No one cares about anyone anymore.

[Twalli]

Can't know for sure.

[UpdateGloomyNights_]

Meeting face to face

[Asker]

Yeah obviously, but what about the other signs (online)?

[UpdateGloomyNights_]

very hard to trust online
