Are Cyber Relationships Real?

You`re smiling and typing as fast as your heart is beating. You have never had such an intimate online chat with someone before. Then the door opens and your significant other walks into the room. You close the box you were typing on and hope that they don`t see you were chatting with someone else other than them.

Unfortunately, this sort of infidelity happens every hour of every day and it`s easy to fall for someone new when social media is involved. There are over 800 million users on Facebook and many of them have to ask themselves if they are going too far when re-connecting with an old flame or getting to know a cute co-worker in the office online.

Your current relationship may be at risk when you confirm an ex on Facebook or allow someone back into your life who you shouldn`t be talking to again. It`s easy to convince yourself that your forbidden online connection is your ultimate dating soulmate, however is your cyber relationship real or simply something you just created in your head?

Cyber relationships are difficult to define. It`s easy to think you have a connection with someone who pays attention to you and who always chats with you when they are online. The most important thing is there are no complications in your relationship online.

Unfortunately, social media allows everybody the ability to make up who they really are. It`s easier to hide behind a computer screen. There is no real intimacy or true connection. If you believe in this fantasy cyber romance, you may risk your current relationship for something that is not right for you in the long run.

So think before you add an old flame or connect with someone you are slightly attracted to. It can cause many unneeded problems in your love life.
