Have you ever been in a relationship with someone online who you knew you may never see in real life?

Yes, it's not healthy. Humans are made to have relationships irl. Perpetual internet relationships are not real relationships because you cannot truly know someone unless you get to know them in person. Too much of what makes good communication is missing in an online relationship and you fill in the blanks with fantasy that may have nothing to do with what kind of person the other person really is.

Not romantic but I've had remote colleagues in the past like that where we worked closely together online for a couple of years without ever meeting in person and without ever knowing we might meet. We finally did and that was an interesting experience to finally see each other face-to-face.

1. This isn’t a relationship.
2. No, of course not.

[jennifer_bloom]

I date with the intention of marriage.

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Yeah, for me it's relationship for her it's hardly friendship we used to talk daily now she's always busy.
We are mostly friends I just flirt with her she accepts sometimes other times thrashes me 😂🤣 all in all its fun we don't talk anything sexual but still make jokes about it 😈

[Tunasub]

Not a relationship as relationships go but I've become close friends with a few people that I've never met 8n person. I wouldn't say that it couldn't happen... it just hasn't happened... I haven't looked for that but I haven't not looked for it either.

[Pogi-Paddy-2]

Been there, done that and it will never happen again.

[Asker]

Why not

[Pogi-Paddy-2]

Because I am not interested in an online relationship. I am a physical touch kind of guy.

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Technically?

Sort of doing that right now in fact.

[ChrisMaster69]

@ez-bri-z interesting

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Yeah... definitely was a surprise for me too.

[ChrisMaster69]

@ez-bri-z 🍾🥂 congrats and good luck

[ChrisMaster69]

@ez-bri-z I am sort of having one, I am chatting to myself across a couple of platforms at moment lol.

(Trying to automate some stuff lol, which results in me messaging myself, at the moment I am flirting and trying to decide if i / we should go on a date or not.

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Remember how I said he ended it? He called me the next night admitted having feelings and said we could date if I wanted.

I have no idea how this is supposed to work but whatever, I am just going to enjoy the ride for now and see where it leads me. Maybe I will discover something new about myself.

[ChrisMaster69]

@ez-bri-z well you are a really lovely girl and I hope it works for you.

As for me, I’ve either ghosted myself or my script failed to pick up a change on message handler lol

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Aww thank you!

Lol well just make sure you keep sending me messages on here just so one messenger works lmao

[ChrisMaster69]

@ez-bri-z I shall do my dear, I am currently stalking myself, trialing commercial version of Dark Tracer, it’s pretty good, between that and other apps it rips a fair bit open.

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Scary but interesting 😊

[slatyb]

A relationship? Of a sort -- it was just Yahoo Messenger. I miss those chats.

[crazy8000]

No !

Se no point in artificial partner relationship.

[Wise4myage]

Yes I have. I think that's very common on the internet.

[Maspolomas]

Yes a woman from Thailand Covid-19 hit so I ended it knowing I’d not be able to come to her

[buddysboy16]

Absolutely not! I could never

[Asker]

Ever had a crush on someone online?

[buddysboy16]

Not really

[Dinosaursandanime65]

You can do that? It kinda just sounds like pretending

[Asker]

Life on the internet is weird... that's all I'll say lol

[Anonymous]

I was infatuated with somebody who i met online and not in real life but not in relationship

[Asker]

Did you tell them?

[Opinion Owner]

No, i asked if he would like to meet for the coffee and he said he he doesn't meet up with people from chat

[Asker]

Oh that sucks

[Opinion Owner]

No not really, it happens, I was maybe a little sad but in general I understand not everybody might like to meet with me or date me, not an issue

[Asker]

Well that's good that it didn't really bother you

[exitseven]

No, when I was dating social media did not exist.

[ChrisMaster69]

Yeah a few times.

[ChrisMaster69]

One of key things is accepting the realities from the outset and not trying to live a dream.

Being open and honest with each other.

That there are no real physical interactions with the other person.

It also works better for those that have more emotional needs rather than physical.

[Asker]

So it's okay to have a relationship?

[ChrisMaster69]

Yes as long as you both understand the real facts, not meeting no physical contact,

Then you have complication of meeting a person in real world, do you try for real world dating or is it cheating.

It really depends what you want out of it.

Also these things do end.

Because of the emotional contact, it can hurt when they end.

The other person may end them suddenly.

Trust is important as they may have 10 other online relationships.

[Asker]

I'll take that as a no😂

[ChrisMaster69]

Lol.
it’s a yes you can but as with any relationship you have to trust and be trusted lol.

With online ones they can get complicated, as you do not know what real world interruptions they face.
You might be chatting, then they suddenly go for a week, the reason?
They lost internet and then we’re away some place.
But to you it’s they left you..
Those unfortunately are the realities.

I sort of have one at moment, so would be hypocritical for me to say no lol.
They can be fun and you can say far more than you would in the real world.
Almost be the real you.

[Asker]

Hmm okay, makes sense. Thanks for sharing🙂

[ChrisMaster69]

No probs, if you want to know more just ask here or DM

[Still-alive]

yeah i did do that once

[Shihab91]

No, if there is no chance then leave it

[BarryLiverstone]

I’ve had a crush before

[Asker]

Did you tell them?

[BarryLiverstone]

I didn’t. I talked to them but didn’t tell them how I felt

[BarryLiverstone]

Have you ever had an online crush?

[Asker]

Yeah I did before and I do now, I feel pretty stupid about it tho😕

[BarryLiverstone]

Why do you feel stupid? I’m sure they are real emotions right?

[Asker]

Yeah but I heard other people say it's a waste of time so I'm stuck between it's okay and it's stupid

[BarryLiverstone]

If you wanna tell me the details I’m open to share, can follow me

[Asker]

Okay I will

[krose2513]

Three of them

[_no_one_]

Yeah

[Anonymous]
