An ideal digital love relationship, especially in a world shaped by screens, time zones, and Wi-Fi signals, isn't about perfection but about intention, connection, and emotional effort.
You don't need to be texting all day, but regular check-ins, calls, or video chats make both people feel emotionally anchored. A simple "thinking of you" at the right time can matter more than a full paragraph.
If you know me very well, I am not much of a digital lover. In fact, you will find me boring to an extent, especially when it comes to chatting; I lose interest too quickly. I prefer you to call on my direct line for any discussion, no matter how interesting it is.Especially if I am talking to you and you are responding with just one word.
These have been my patterns until I reconnected with him a year ago. At first, it was the same attitude I gave him, but he just knows how to hold a conversation for hours. If he notices that the chatting is getting boring, he switches to a voice call. From a voice call, it will be a video call no dull moment with him.
At first it was just a reunion but then it became a strong bond. I hate long-distance relationships. I'm not clingy but with him, I become clingy and always expect to see his call.The funny thing about this whole situation is that the guy was not my friend way back in school.
He was always disturbing me, then he was so slim and looked like a child in the face. I would always call him a pest. Later, we were separated. I was so happy that we far apart he stays in Abuja while I stay in Port Harcourt. I even changed my number because of him, so he wouldn't contact me.
Boom! He sent me a message on Messenger after 10 years. I can't tell what happened. We started with our regular banter and bickering as usual, with a little insult here and there.but no one got offended.No guilt-tripping for late replies or missed calls, just understanding.
Every day I look forward to bantering words with him and the sweet connection, the thought that you have someone to listen to your everyday stress, hear your breaking news. We share playlists, voice notes, late-night thoughts, even mundane stuff ("Look what I cooked!") keeps us emotionally bonded.
We do virtual movie dates, gaming together, surprise food deliveries, despite the distance between us, custom memes, shared photo albums, or love letters via WhatsApp. It's not about how many people you chat with but the feeling you get after talking with them.
