People who fall in love online are sometimes able to translate that into real life. But more often than not, online lovers never meet. Or worse, they do meet, and either the chemistry isn't there or the person doesn't seem the same. That's what happened to Chioma Nnadi, who told her story in Vogue.

According to Joshua Klapow, a clinical psychologist, again in Elite Daily, “While using video to connect with someone definitely offers more intimacy than texting, emailing, or writing, there are still limitations to the senses we need to bond with someone. Not being able to touch or smell someone limits your sense of the other person.” Jackie Pilossoph, creator of Divorce Girl Smiling and relationship columnist at the Chicago Tribune, addressed the limitations of online romances on Huffpost. “There are a million little things that make us fall in love, and most of those aren’t present during an online situation,” she wrote. “On a real date, both people have the luxury of looking at everything. Hands, toes (if she’s wearing sandals), legs, arms, hair, smile, teeth, and most importantly (to me) eyes. And how can two people be in love when their lips have never touched?” Questions like that are even more important as more and more dating moves online, especially during the pandemic and into the future. During March of last year, Tinder hit its highest number of swipes in one day: 3 billion. And then went on to beat that record 130 more times since. Tinder even introduced video chat to meet demand. From March to May last year, OkCupid posted a 700% increase in dates. And on Bumble, video calls shot up 70%. Even though those big numbers have come down, the trend of meeting people online has not. Clare O’Connor of Bumble discussed a recent survey about this on KTNV Las Vegas. She said “91% say there is no longer any stigma at all attached to meeting someone online.” Even more surprising was that two out of three people said it was “possible to fall in love with someone they have never met in person.” At Hinge, another dating app, one-third were “open to being exclusive with someone they have only dated virtually,” about two-thirds felt a “growing connection” with someone they’d met only virtually, reported Raisa Bruner at Time Magazine.

Read More »Online love is only going to increase. But is it really real? Chemically speaking, it is. Helen Fisher is a leading scientist on the biology of love. Romantic love activates the brain’s reward system that generates feelings of pleasure and motivation. It gives you a rush of dopamine. It also excites the brain systems connected to your sex drive and attachment. All those systems can get stirred up by someone online. But as we have seen, that’s not the whole picture. Meeting online is a great way to get to know someone and even to connect on a deeper level. Our feelings are a different matter, though. They are hard to control. Those butterflies and that giddiness you feel might seem real. Your brain and your body are telling you that. But until you hold someone’s face in your hands, and gaze into that special person’s eyes, and see what he or she is really like in the flesh, you won’t know without a doubt that it’s real love.
