    Several years ago, met and started seeing someone who belonged in the same guild on WoW for almost a year. Not really ashamed nor embarrassed or anything about it. Nobody believed us when we'd tell people how we met.

    You guys try this coffee and bagel thing? Interesting dating app.

    I think I'd be more embarrassed than jealous if someone I was dating had a cyber girlfriend. Like is this a 1997 AOL chatroom?
    ...what she said. Lets just all pretend we are not 13 yr olds here

    I think at 12-13, I didn't give a crap about AOL lol

    I was killin' it on Crash Bandicoot and Twisted Metal around that age.

    Unless the "real" gf is cool with it, it's dangerous ground.

    Personal experience here. I've been married for over 14 years. We've had a lot of issues, but stuck through for comfort (some issues were major, there was ongoing emotional/financial control/abuse, etc that made leaving less of an option even after it was obvious we were toxic for eachother).
    In another possibly bad idea, we were poly/open for the majority of the time. The marriage weathered several outside partners and consensual "affairs" with no bad effects, but cyber relationships are what killed it.

    I started texting a guy who was in the military. No harm, no foul, right. He was overseas, married, and it was all platonic. His wife left him, but when he came back to the US he was still 11 or 12 hours away. We flirted a little, and my husband was cool with it, even offered to let me fly out to go visit. We kept texting and talking on the phone and, he was there for me during some really bad times when my husband was emotionally unavailable. He was a really good friend, then something happened that had me worried for his safety and I realized I was in love with him. When his enlistment ended, he moved across the country, within a few hours of me. We're spending as much time as we can together and taking it slow, because we really are starting at zero to get to know eachother as we are, not as we pictured eachother online.

    During this, my husband started asking an "old friend" for relationship advice. Said friend has experience with polyamory, but also has happened to have a crush on him for years. Her advice ended up making things much worse, because it kept coming back to him leaving me, taking our son, and going to live with her (she lost custody of her own child and wants a replacement - not happening with mine). But when he's stressed or wants advice, she's just a few clicks on the mouse or taps on the phone screen away, so he keeps confiding in her.

    Online is even more convenient than real life relationships, because people are available, and because they can hide the negative or hard parts of interacting with eachother. And it becomes very easy to turn the other person into your fantasy partner, projecting what you want onto them, instead of seeing them as they are, because it isn't the same as spending time together in person. It may not be the best way to start or build a new relationship, but it will end an existing one easy enough.

    Your situation just sounds way too F'd up, firead. Nevertheless, I agree with your last paragraph.

    If you're a dude, just assume every girl online is some 60 year old weirdo perv and play along with it. Once you get bored, go out and talk to real people, which I think I should do for myself right now lol

    I got a headache and almost lost my eyes in the back of my head reading it. Proceed with caution.

    If you have to ask this question legitimately, you shouldn't be in a relationship that isn't open, period.

    That would be the "Fun" part of "Chit-Chat Fun & Games"
