Many people, due to circumstances, start virtual romances in the hope that one day they will become real.
However, sometimes you shouldn't have any illusions.
As soon as the conversation turns to financial assistance of any kind, the correspondence should be stopped. You are dealing with dishonest people who tried to swindle money by playing on your feelings.
No one has such difficult situations that only a stranger from virtual reality can help them with.
Some people are quite happy with virtual romances. Often this is how married people "have fun" who do not want to lose their marriage, but are a little tired of it.
Virtual romances are also popular among people who use other people's photos to get the necessary attention and communication with attractive people.
It is difficult to end real relationships. But virtual romances should be interrupted immediately as soon as they become a cause for frustration and negative emotions.
