It is not possible for it to exist in any text based forum because it depends on:

* body language, non verbal communication

* the ability to respond instantly

* the ability to interrupt

* the ability do develop relationships over time

Which do not exist altogether anywhere on the internet






It sounds to me like you’re just describing the limitations of textual communication, which I agree is limited in all the ways you have written in this post except the last.

Often these relationships start in a more open public setting and become more meaningful in a private space, similarly to real life.
