Many people today create virtual romantic connections on social sites such as Facebook. They meet other people, share pictures, and even fall in love with their virtual partners! The reason we are so drawn to our virtual partners is because the connection we make with them is non-material, detached from physical contact, and even spiritual in a way. Since were not tied down by any physical limitations, were free to fantasize as much as we want to, to attribute all the best qualities to our virtual significant other, and to raise our connection with them into the clouds, so to speak. We convince ourselves of how special this connection is, and that its an opportunity to reach beautiful, perfect love. But unfortunately, its all an illusion. Over the Internet one can express himself/herself in any way he/she wants to, but the problem is that we lose sight of reality as we become unknowingly immersed in this game. We forget that we arent dealing with a real person, but with our own imagination.
