At present, it is safe to say that a good part of the life of a modern person has moved into the virtual world. Through the Internet we can communicate, solve everyday problems, spend leisure time and even look for a life partner. When such an acquaintance continues with meetings, feelings, and then relationships formed, this is a completely normal development of events. Meanwhile, quite often there are Internet novels and love “by correspondence”, which do not materialize in real life, but also evoke quite strong emotions. It looks like the platonic relationships of yesteryear, when love was fueled by the epistolary method. There is nothing critical in such a relationship, but it can hardly be called a full-fledged union. Any relationship must have a goal, and if the goals of two people do not coincide, they have no meaning. The Internet is just an assistant, a means of communication, a place where you can get to know each other and take a closer look at each other, but not a space for relationships. If you are counting on some logical continuation of your acquaintance, it is better not to delay the first meeting. Why do people sometimes “drown” in this kind of hobbies? After all, someone really suffers for years, waits for messages, experiences quarrels with their online soul mate. There are problems with a partner in real life. Such fascination with the virtual world is just an escape from reality and an attempt to “get” what is missing from it. For example, such romances often begin among people who have been married for a long time. In this way they make up for the lack of emotions, find a listener and interlocutor. It seems like a great option – it’s not cheating! However, such an approach only greatly distances us from solving real problems. And not every partner will regard this as a simple hobby and turn a blind eye. Such behavior is unpleasant and insulting to the husband/wife and can indeed be regarded as betrayal. Fear. Some people are so shy that this is their only option for communication. People with disabilities can also be afraid of real meetings and stay on the Internet for years. They don't want to burden the other person. There is also a downside here - what if you immediately sift people through the filter of honesty? Openly say that you are a person with special needs. This way you have a higher chance of quickly finding a serious partner who is not afraid of difficulties. Thirst for recognition. Again, this will be the component that a person lacks in real life, so he “follows” it into the virtual one. Pause after the end of the relationship. Sometimes a person, after a previous breakup, can consciously or unconsciously start love online in order to take a “break” and not immediately run into another relationship with a real person. There is also a category of intellectual people who fall in love exclusively with their partner’s brain. They are more likely to fall in love online, maintain such a union for a long time, and then even meet without being disappointed! Whatever the reason, it is better to move from virtual interaction to real one. Share your opinion: is it possible, without problems and peculiarities in real life, to fall selflessly in love on the Internet? How long can such a connection be maintained?
