Online love is a complex matchmaking process, but when it works, true love can blossom. Discover the virtual behaviors of a man who reciprocates your affection
“Fifty Shades” of Online Love:
The excitement of being reciprocated, the joy in receiving that message, the curiosity to discover the other, but also the fear of making mistakes and writing something hasty…
This is online love, an engaging “matchmaking” between two people that goes through various phases, experiencing all its fifty shades of emotions and sensations.
Unlike physical relationships, attraction is communicated through virtual writing, with words and emoticons.
The phases of online love include “SELECTION,” where you choose who you like based on the personal bio and profile picture; sending an appreciative “LIKE,” the “STATUS PEND” as you wait for the other to reciprocate and confirm the Match; thinking of a creative “ICEBREAKER” to start the conversation and encourage the exchange of the “4 Ws” with key questions to better understand each other (when, where, what, why).
Finally, the crucial “PRESSURE TEST,” a moment of tension where it’s necessary to keep the interest high and ensure the chat remains engaging (emojis, jokes, discussions, photos…).
Well, ladies and gentlemen… here you have love 2.0!
Can online love transform into a serious relationship?
Online love with a man you like has a 100% chance of becoming something serious and a 100% chance of not, so the answer is: It depends.
It depends on how it all started and how you established the initial connection online.
It depends on what you’re looking for in online love and if it aligns with what the other person seeks.
It depends on his behaviors and what you both feel together.
If you’re trying to figure out if the online love with him is truly “online love” and want to discover his feelings, you could assess the situation with some questions:
What initiated the conversation with him? Was it a provocative photo on your profile or an enticing bio? What was written in that bio?
How did the conversation progress between you two? Was it fun, passionate, cold…?
Who asked more questions, was he leading the “game” or you?
For how long have you been messaging each other, or how quickly did he respond to messages? Was it always him reappearing after the end of the chat or vice versa?
These are fundamental questions you should ask yourself to clarify the situation. Answer them carefully and precisely; it will help you understand his future intentions with you.
When it’s online love for him:
To start, if he sends lengthy responses showing genuine engagement in the conversation, it means he’s investing time and emotional energy.
Likewise, if he shares personal details about his life, desires, dreams, and fears, he’s opening up to you – an excellent sign!
Caring gestures, like sending goodnight messages or wishing you a good day, go beyond mere politeness…
Sending photos or sharing social content indicates a desire to spend special moments with you and let you into his life.
If he’s truly feeling online love for you, he’ll express it consistently, perhaps suggesting video calls, outings, and using sweet expressions…
Remember, in the virtual context, actions speak louder than words. If you notice these behaviors, it could be a sign that your relationship (whatever it may be) is becoming something serious and meaningful to him.
When it’s NOT online love for him:
Certainly, quite the opposite of what we said earlier.
If you notice his responses are brief and unengaging, he might not be interested in continuing the conversation, especially if his messages are “cold” (not exceeding 10 words) and he responds evasively.
If he doesn’t make an effort to share special moments, like photos of his day or messages about his routine, he’s indirectly telling you that you’re not on his mind.
Even if he avoids talking about personal topics or rarely initiates the conversation, it could mean he doesn’t feel deeply involved with you and, therefore, it’s not online love for him.
Remember, clarity of intentions is reflected in actions. If he behaves this way and is never clear, doesn’t open up, and tells you neither “too much” nor “too little,” it might be time to carefully consider ending the relationship. However, this is only if you’re looking for something serious and not settling.
In that case, have you considered cultivating a 2.0 love on Yooppe? 🙃
