17 Signs You Are Having a Virtual Affair

A virtual affair is a relatively recent phenomenon. And it happens more often than you think. And even more scarily, you could be having one without even realizing it! Picture this: you are always working and are on your phone all the time. Someone (you find attractive) connects with you at work. You exchange lots of emails. He sends you a message that makes you smile. And it goes on from there… Here are the signs you are actually having a virtual affair!

1. When you reach for your phone in the morning, the first thing you do is to check if he has messaged.

13. He knows your opinion on the most mundane things.

14. Your status messages are just for him. And he gets that.

15. He has decided opinions on things your partner never cares about – like if you should cut your hair.

16. You’ve had at least one conversation about boundaries/ being discreet on social media.

17. You’ve suggested you both meet one-on-one, but you are a bit scared – it would be cheating, right?

So, if you have done/ are doing more than 5 of these things with the same person, then, my dear, you are in the throes of an affair – albeit a virtual one!
