Virtual relationships, just like face-to-face relationships,  vary in the experiences they provide. Relationships are a subjective experience, and research indicates virtual relationships have the potential to be healthy—McKenna and Bargh (2002) found online relationships were 70% more likely to last over two years than offline relationships—and unhealthy. The risk of catfishing and scams is present in virtual relationships, and Cooper and Sportolari (1997) referred to oversharing that occurs in virtual relationships as a boom and bust phenomenon.
