Online crush

[divinemistress87]

Anyone else have an online crush they talk to? Like you know you will never meet them and its all a fantasy as everyone seems cooler online than they really are , cant see flaws online. But its a fun little distraction from the hell of life. Tell me about them?

Don't have one but I remember when I was a teenager during lockdown this was a thing for me. At the time I didn't really think of it as a "fantasy" because I was talking to a real person, but in the past it definitely was now looking back on it as an almost 21 year old.

I think the fact that it's "not real" to some level makes it better. Maybe subconsciously you realize it's just a fantasy or implausable, and that carelessness makes it more enjoyable.

I can't do it. Many years ago I had a couple of these from women I met in chat forums. But they ultimately turned out to be nowhere near who they claimed to be. In both cases they disappeared one day without warning and it took a lot out of me. Especially one of them who every time I expressed doubt, she would react as if I hurt her by not trusting her and would cry on the phone (we talked on the phone sometimes) and I would feel bad and think it was just me being scared to be vulnerable... but then she disappeared one day and I never heard from her again, but found others who had also been talking to her and it was the same story.

So, I stopped trying to have online-only relationships. If I couldn't meet a person in public somewhere and see and talk to them in person, I wasn't going to invest in someone who might not even exist.

I don't talk to her personally, but she has engaged with my comments on her channel, but I have a crush on a woman on YT.

She appears to be in her 50's and looks like a cross between Nicole Kidman and Sigourney Weaver - just strikingly beautiful in appearance and energy.
