Can online “almost relationships” stay light without becoming toxic?
For context: I’m a woman from Belgium and he’s a Colombian guy. We met online like a week ago and since then we’ve been texting every day + having long calls almost daily.
The thing is: by text he’s dry af 😭 I’m very much a “yapper” and he replies like a military NPC sometimes. BUT on calls he’s genuinely sooo sweet, affectionate and emotionally present. We have this constant “we’re just friends 👀” banter while also acting emotionally attached at the same time.
I honestly don’t want a serious relationship with him. I like the dynamic exactly because it feels light, playful and emotionally exciting without the pressure of something official.
But recently he was less attentive with me during the day and I noticed he followed a bunch of new girls on Instagram… and I got lowkey jealous 😭 Not because I want him to be my boyfriend, but because I still want to feel special to him.
So now I’m confused about myself.
Am I contradicting myself? Do you think I’m lying to myself and I actually like him more seriously than I admit?
Also, what do you talk about with your situationship?
