When digital intimacy creates phantom love

I matched with someone on a dating app three months ago and we text every day but have never met, and now I think I'm in love with a person who might not even exist the way I imagine them.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The mind fills gaps in knowledge with projection, allowing us to fall in love with our own creation rather than another person.
