However, you can become a rather close friend with your chat partner. You can discuss nearly everything as you are simply speaking. Imagine that you have just met a person and at the same time you can say to him or her all that you wish. It’s like if you found a treasure! You don’t know yet if your relationship will continue to real dating, no obligations yet, you are free! Free in everything you do or tell.
