Thank you all—this is gold. For the anxious folks: try one brave, specific sentence before your nervous system narrates disaster. For the avoidant folks: try one repair even if your body says “exit.” Check your patterns, but also celebrate your attempts. I’m holding space for the messy middle with you. Be well.

The piece you linked is good on boundaries. I’d add: align expectations on exclusivity, define conflict rules, and agree on a “fail-safe” check-in when someone goes quiet. InternationalCupid gave me breadth, not depth; conversations often lacked follow-through. Long-distance online connections thrive on ritual and predictable contact. Be well.
