I think I’m falling for my internet pen pal (who really seems much more than that). I don’t know what the fuck happened, but some redditor messaged me about a very niche post I made on a niche subreddit and we’ve been talking for almost 6 months.

I’ve never seen them, they’ve never seen me, etc. But like I said we’ve been messaging (first on Reddit then I got their number) pretty consistently now.

It’s truly bizarre but I think I found someone who understands me idk weird af

As someone who finds themselves having crushes on Hexbear users, people I meet on dating apps, and random people I see on the street....

Nah homie I totally get it

My logical brain says this is only happening because it’s been almost a year since I’ve been on a date. Also, I guess this isn’t really much different from dating apps, I guess it’s hitting me because we were just chatting about a topic and there was no romantic interest whatsoever at the beginning

My emotional brain says if I don’t seize this opportunity I will die alone

Many such cases!

I think one of the lessons of the past few years is that the world can change overnight. Take every chance at happiness that you can get.

Many people are saying! Been hearing it more and more, folks.

Okay, Trump.

I consider you to be a friend.

It's not para-social unless you don't care about me back.

That's all.

You should kiss them - NOW!!! cat-trans

This is like how my wife and I met, and after three years e-dating we've been living together happily for four ❤ Wishing you luck whatever you decide to do with this, being understood and not having to worry about what you're saying feels so good.

Well the first step would be ensuring that we can find out what each other looks like 😅

Any recommendations? I think they have an instagram albeit mine is pretty bare

I dunno, ask them or something? I messaged wifey on discord back before it was 100% dogshit, lmao

I met my wife as another user on a porn site over a series of witty comments.

It happens, and life is weird sometimes. Just take it easy, go slow, and stay safe.

on a porn site

Easily the most cursed e-dating story I have ever heard, but also it's wonderful how love blooms in the goofiest places. stalin-heart

Hey, when your preferences are really niche, you make do. Thanks!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Honestly makes a lot of sense, but man that’s gotta be like one in a million shot.

Sounds awesome honestly. Nothing weird about appreciating or celebrating human to human connection in all of its wonderful forms
