Most messenger services - most famously Skype - enable you to have video calls with the other person, and seeing them and speaking to them 'in person' might help ease any pains that come from distance. It would also enable you to get to know them better, because then you have other things to go on, such as body language and tone of voice.
Video chat helps a lot. Unfortunately editing the background environment to match a false identity is extremely easy. Still its better than nothing, and not everyone is a good actor.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
