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....

      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 consider you to be a friend.

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

      That's all.
