What would you do if you had a romantic relationship online like you only know their online persona and then you started dating someone else IRL?

I honestly dont know what would I do

[GlaceonChireiden]

Well if you're dating someone online and still choose to date someone else irl, is that not cheating?

Clear that issue up first THEN worry about how to feel

its only cheating if they dont agree on dating other people

It’s unhealthy or weird online, commitment issues anyways, cheating. Unsure how online relationships could be romantic

That's true. I forgot polygamy is a thing.

Still, if you're already in a relationship that would be a pretty big thing to come to mind when you're asked (or do the asking) to start dating someone else. Idrk how that could be an "in the moment" thing or something you'd forget.
If you're that quick to forget you're dating someone, it probably isn't that serious to begin with.

that's still cheating to me
unless you mean a roleplay relationship in Minecraft or something because I don't get the online persona part
If you take steps to actually know and talk to them it's not a persona, just because they're not physically with you doesn't mean they're not a real person or that the connection isn't real uwu

What would I do? I'd question how I even got into this mess.

[Raziel]

That did happen to me, one of the reasons why i don't date online anymore, people can't be trusted these days

[Rebel the Murderbrat]

Just tell them sorry I got a rl bf

it is

if anything an emotional affair / cheating even if it's just getting a battle partner that helps you do raids or battles lol

Some Steam user felt in love with me and i'm still not sure how to react to this, i try to be nice and i'm ok to try things alright but that person live far.

Irl dating might still happen though, but it's just because i don't know what's next for me in life i just don't know what to do.

Only knowing an online persona (never met in person) is not a healthy relationship and I struggle to see online and romantic as words that should be together in that context. IRL relationships are always better, stronger and more meaningful.

Basically. I made a rule. If you wanna date me then we have to see each other in real life at least once.

You're deceiving yourselves if you think you can establish an authentic, profound connection with someone online. Both of your online personas are fake, carefully constructed from degrees of curation and artifice.

It's absolutely normal to make casual online relationships for the sake of amusement. But it is crucial to remember that these "connections" lack the authenticity and depth found in genuine relationships.

I would argue that most people's outwards personas are also fake and carefully constructed, even in real life. I don't think most of us know other people as much as we think. You have to know most people rather well before they truly let their guards down and are comfortable showing the true self.
