Hello everyone. So this story could be a long one, but im going to try to sum it up. I was just in an online relationship with this girl. It started because we played the same game and we were in the same faction. We complained about the same guy in the faction. As time went on we got closer and closer. I didnt think it would get like that. We would message each other about 2 minutes apart max. Always about nothing, just having fun. Eventually that 2 minutes turned to 5, then 15 then an hour. Which is fine, im not saying i need instant replies. Eventually I made the move to make us official. She said the L word first. The magic was still there and it was s…

I have been chatting with a girl from South America for over a month. We’ve exchanged photos, a video chat, tells me many details about her personal life such as work, what she is doing with her kids, etc. She asks how I am doing, and many times is first to say "Good Morning". We are also Facebook friends and I see that she is very open about her faith in God. I can legitimately say she is who she says she is. She has a decent job in sales/customer service. She wants me to come visit her, which eventually I'm willing to do, but I told her I want to learn more Spanish first. The part throwing me off is for about the past week she’s saying that she loves me very much, she's…

I posted here a while ago when I fell very heavy for some girl a few states away from me. At some point I tried posting here again but then I abstained from it entirely. My life is sort of back where it was before I took this month long back from programming and studying. Applying for jobs, doing interviews, studying DS algos. Basically a lot of hours in front of computers and books. Recently, I’ve been hanging out with my friend more and going to the gym a lot. I think I was getting really depressed from having been isolated for so long especially after tearing my quad muscle and that’s how I fell into this situation where I got tunnel vision for this girl. …

Howdy folks, I'm a 25 year old guy and I've done e-dating in the past with friends I made online, usually other artists who are a part of bigger artist circles. My last relationship was 3 years ago with my ex-girlfriend who lived a few states away. She developed cancer, which rocked the boat. Don't freak out - she survived! However, I'm a FTM (female-to-male) transitioner and she identified as a lesbian. So, ultimately, it didn't work. About a year after that time, I discovered I was bi-polar (as I was struggling heavily with depression) and sought therapy and medication for 2 years. I worked on myself as both a person and a budding young man for 3 years. I've b…

I posted in here before about meeting this person online and how I developed really strong feelings in a short period of time. I basically ignored everyone’s advice even thou they were all spot on about the right thing to do in the situation and kept talking to her anyways. I talk to her every night. I think I finally figured out that she uses sexting to keep men interested in her because she is lonely and afraid. I never realized this before, but I have been learning a lot about myself by talking to this girl. I guess I never knew that women did that type of stuff. Also, I told her that I can’t do that with her or that I wasn’t interested in it anymore bec…

I met this girl online. That same night she wanted to sext with me via voice call. I could tell that it was not normal but decided whatever because I hadn’t done anything like that in a while. Turns our I really liked doing it with her. And I basically ended up talking to her every night for the past week. At some point I was worried that she was just addicted to doing this sort of thing and I didn’t want to keep pursuing an online relationship with her if we would never meet. Long story short I broke it off with her which didn’t go well. Apparently she like fell in love with me in such a short span of time. I haven’t felt like this with anyone in such a long ti…

I am 35 and divorced. Leaving in my small hometown since my marriage ending last year. We have been in quarantine since autumn 2020, hence trips from one place to another are prohibited. Generally I didn’t approve relationships through Internet, I considered them superficial. One day I received a friend request from a guy with whom we had a common friend.I accepted it. We started communication last December and gradually we ended up communicate the whole day. He was 45 and divorced, no kids as me. He had a long term relationship after his divorce with a 15 year younger girl and worked as private security. He admired me mostly for my physique (when younger during my studie…

About 5 months back, I met a guy through a dating app and we began a "virtual relationship". He lived one state over. We talked everyday, we always facetimed everyday, there were text messages throughout the day for the past 5 months. We talked about everything - he was always respectful (no sexting or anything like that), and I actually believed, this was leading to a relationship that would happen in real life, once COVID lifted restrictions. He always made contact first thing in the morning and throughout the day. He said he was divorced as am I but seemed to have obligations to his kids, which I understood. We shared a lot of our deepest experiences, painful experi…

I'm so desperate. I've been talking to a guy for 1 month online. I've seen him once 2 years ago at a party, but never talked to him in real life. After 1 month of talking online, we had an argument and I told him to stop texting me. I had a reason for it, he did me wrong. After that, we didn't talk for 2 weeks, we didn't text each other. After 2 weeks I sent him a random snap because I care about him and I miss him. Eventually, we started snapping each other back (evening of Wednesday 24th March). We were making jokes, having fun, he also said some nice things to me. We were doing pretty well. He went to sleep before me, so the last snaps I sent him he opened the next mor…

I’m not necessarily worried about a breakup, but I’d still like some advice. Me (M) and my partner (F) are both 18. We live around 300 miles away from each other, but I’ve seen her many times over the last 3 to 4 years. We both say that this is the relationship that will lead to marriage, and I truly believe that. Although, it’s very hard for me to trust anyone I know, because of the lying problems I’ve encountered (and even had myself) over the past. First problem- she says that I take way too long to respond to her texts, yet she is the one who ignores mine, and says things like “I didn’t see it until now” as a frequent reason/excuse. She usually calls me after 5-12 hou…

Hey everyone, Just a quick request for advice probably from the women reading. I rematched on Bumble lately with a woman that I'd like to get to know. After 4 or 5 messages where she gave me a little more information about herself she told me she was taking a break from the app for a few days but gave me her number if I wanted to find her on Whatsapp. I texted my number and the day after asked how she was and added a funny story for which she replied "haha. Thanks X". She never elaborated to open a further conversation. I'm new to these apps after a break following a long term relationship so, wonder if I should let her come to me as I don't wan…

Y’all...I just really need to vent because I can’t even believe there are people out in the world who do this to other people. In early January, a guy messaged me on Facebook after I left a comment on his band’s Facebook page. We get to chatting and find out we have a lot in common. I’m recently divorced, but haven’t actively been dating. I figured if someone showed up in my life I would go with the flow. He lives 1000 miles away but is originally from where I live, and has plans to move back once he receives the COVID vaccination. He said he had only planned to stay out there for 6 months, but then the pandemic happened so it left him in a holding pattern. He …

Help please!!! 2 months ago I started talking to a guy online and we hit it off right away. With lockdown we have been unable to meet up but we have constantly spoke about finally meeting up, all the things we will be able to do together, he has spoken about us being a couple, we have had virtual dates (movie nights, zoom, phone calls) and he sent me flowers for Valentine’s Day!! I feel like things were going well and we liked each other as much as you can without actually meeting someone. for about a week now I feel like things have been off - he takes longer to reply, all conversation about the future has stopped, he has stopped being affectionate and attentiv…

Hello! So, I know this is trivial but I just wanted some advice (or someone to tell me to stop being stupid) 😅 I've been texting a guy for over a month now (we matched on a dating app) but haven't met irl yet. He's asked me out a couple times but I've postponed due to different issues including lockdown etc. In the first few weeks after we matched we'd text back and forth throughout the day. Once he warned me that he was going to be busy for a few days so his replies wouldn't be as regular, and apologised after those few days and explained what he'd been up to. Recently he's only texted me once a day (lucky if I get more than that) and it's usually late at night. He sen…

Hello, so I met this guy online, we instantly clicked and we have many things in common. He's 28, has a son from a previous relationship, a new business and lives 3 hours away from me. At the beginning it was all great, we talked every day. Then one day he disappeared for 4 days, I honestly thought that he ghosted me. He came back and we made amends. After his act of disappearence I became even more anxious about the situation. Oh, I forgot to mention that we have had sexting. That's something that I never did before so I think that made me more vulnerable. So one day I decided I had enough of that anxiety and he was giving me mixed signals, so I decided to take some spac…

I met this man online and gave him my snapchat, we have a 16 year difference. I'm 15 and hes 31. He's cool, nice and always compliments me. He treats me special. I obviously ask him about our age difference but he's ok with it and says he likes girls my age anyway. I understand that I'm not a little kid anymore but the age of consent is 17 where he is from. Im under that. But when I forget about his age, he gives me great advice and never treats me bad. Some things he does weird me out, but thats just his personality. I trust him now. He dosent exactly force me to do anything I dont want to, he just knows whats best for me and tells me its going to be ok. My parents don…

Not sure if this should be in cyber "relationships", but yeah 😛. Long story short: I matched with someone off hinge a few weeks ago. Messaged each other until 7pm or so. She mentioned she's an elementary school teacher, it's insane right now with covid, asked about my dog, her dog, etc. Anyways, she then sends "Got anything special going on today?", and I replied back with "Ha, not really hbu?" (paraphrasing, because message log is gone) No reply for a few days, so I double texted. Then, still no reply for 13 days, but still matched. I just noticed yesterday I was unmatched. Obviously I'm still swiping right and not letting th…

I’m currently talking to a man that I feel intensely drawn to, but also has some red flags. I’m not sure if I’m even right in thinking that or if I’m the issue myself. We’re in our late 20s. I’ve had a history of long term relationships with men that people around me would say weren’t good enough for me. But in these relationships, I’m always convinced by the male that I’m too sensitive or am wrong in how I feel. I’ve experienced different kinds of abuse and I always brushed things under the carpet and blamed myself. So I’m feeling like I don’t know when I’m being mistreated or not now, or if I’m genuinely just not doing something right. I’m quite sweet and loving towards…

Should I keep talking to someone that I recently reconnected with since high school about a week ago, or should I stop? They told me they want to see where it goes, but also told me that they wonder if it's loneliness and isolation due to being single and because of the pandemic that has them drawn to me, they told me that they question themselves about that quite frequently..but on one hand they did invite me out for coffee whenever we both had the time.. Or we could walk my dog together (following the CDC guidelines) I've asked them if things get better do they feel that the novelty of me would have worn off, and they said that they don't think so as long as we c…

I am a bisexual guy in his 20's. Two years ago I received a very sexual message on a site. At first I was shocked but then I was really curious to see what this person was seeing in me ( I have very little self esteem). I started skypying with him. From the very first moment I realized that this guy was a weirdo.He is in his late 20's.Never had a gf or bf because he lives in a very conservative society. Bear in mind,we come from very different countries. After a couple of videocalls, I started noticing him masturbating over me under a blanket. I was creeped out,so, I stopped replying to his messages for the following two years.He was sending me messages every mo…

I have started a relationship with someone about 4 years ago, she is really nice and we think of each other as family, I have never told anyone about her and don't know if I should, my parents don't want me using socail media of any sort. I stay up all night just talking to her, and I never get any sleep. Any advice?

So a few weeks ago, I met someone online and we immediatly hit it off. Just having a really good time together, playing games, after a while even flirting with each other at times and that lead to us sexting and sending photos as well. We have agreed that it's just as good friends and that he doesn't want me to hold myself available for him as he lives on the other side of the world. He as also reassured me that we will still be friends when I get a boyfriend and I won't be able to do all the extra sexting stuff with him anymore because of that. He messages me a lot, even during times I expected him to be busy. He has messaged me a few times, first thing when he wakes up.…

Hi, I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I just really feel like I need to write this down, even though it happened a long while ago - I'm still really ridden by guilt. So I was in an online relationship with someone for a couple of months. Soon after we got together I realized that they seemed to feel about me differently than I felt about them (I really loved them - but I realized it was probably more on a platonic base, and I realized I might be on the aro spec), but I still tried to keep the relationship going; they had mental health problems, and I felt like I did them a favor by staying with them (dumb idea, I know, but at the time I felt l…

My boyfriend and I have been dating online for over a year. We met online in a game and have hit off. We haven’t met yet but we planned to meet in Autumn. I catfished him for a few months because I wasn’t taking the relationship seriously until I realized he was being honest about his feelings and he wasn’t just putting on a persona. I came clean to him about catfishing him and he forgave me. We had a long talk about how we both felt afterwards and how we would proceed. He agreed to let the past be the past and so did I. Everything has been good on the surface but I have been having an overwhelming feeling of emptiness when I interact with him. We used to game together e…
