So now let’s just go back into the memory lane and see how these relationships blossom and sometimes give us a story that we cherish or a story that we often wish we’d be a part of.

1. A Hello to stranger online started it all

This stage is never one with any intentions, it is just a stage where in a couple is online and wants to pass time or is looking for a stranger for advice to a problem or a victim to prank on, generally in many situations this never goes as planned or you don’t meet anyone that you are actually interested in introducing yourself too but sometimes when you lucky kick the golden bucket you meet someone that you realize shares the same idea as you are, although they say never judge a book by its cover but in E-relationships people do tend to do that judgment online so that they can make an interesting conversation .

2. A “how are you?” everyday made it move forward:
After you grab the golden ticket and introduce yourselves to each other this is what comes next in the list, everyday you suddenly want to know how that person is, or how his or her day have been and you want to be there to hear everything about it because once the connection in the introduction is attached, it is always there and you cherish it right from the start.

3. “I share a little piece of me everyday”:

After the how are you and the nice second conversation, it always seem to lay a strong foundation in your friendship and as each say passes you share a part of you with the person and the funny part is you never even realize it till a long time, generally this results in pain sometimes as the person you share your little piece is sometimes not actually there to receive it, but then you realize that sometimes you need to understand and that builds in. these pieces are how your days are or how things have been to you that day, or how annoying it was for you in college or work, day by day as you share these things you also give the other person the courage to share their little pieces with you, that binds the thread more.
4. “Can I tell you a secret”

Suddenly as the time passes by you feel like opening yourself up to this person sitting on the other side of your computer and slowly you start to share all the little secrets with that person and it happens vice- versa most of the times, this is due to that fact that you somehow build a trust that no one can even explain to you or others around you.

5. “The movements of my life that make my cheeks red”

After you open up, just to move forward the conversation into more depth you start to share your most embarrassing movements in your life and when you start exchanging these sometimes you share a few laughs and sometimes you share a few learns, never less it always strengthens the bond and the thread becomes a rope that connects you and the other person.

6. “My new best friend”:

You develop your friendship and suddenly you become best of friends over the time, you share almost everything you do with this person and somehow you always end up feeling safe with all your secrets and as time passes by you become best friends.

7. “Harmless flirting always adds to the humor”:

As you become best of friends with the opposite gender in an online friendship, you start to flirt which is always harmless and true, slowly as time passes by you always flirt with them and it makes you feel good, but most of the time harmless flirting also lays the base for the growth of a new relationship that you never realize has formed initially.

8. “I have butterflies each time I hear you smile”

This development always leads to a start of feelings in both the people and you constantly keep thinking of them all day long, most of their smiles and their happiness make butterflies sway in your tummy and it is a good feeling to have, it will make you wait anxiously for the person to sit on the other end of the computer and start his or her chat with you.

9. “And it all lead to me falling and you catching me”

And the end result is something that you and the other person slowly learn to cherish, at first you start off with the confusion of the feeling you have towards them, but slowly you realize, as time passes by you always want to talk to them and always want to be something important to them or be the first thing that comes to their mind, as all these thoughts proceed you slowly come across the point that you like this person more than a friend and want to be with them and then one fine day you actually tell out to each other about your feeling and that starts a new path to your relationship that you will always cherish.
