1. He Doesn't Answer Your Phone Calls
Are you at the point where you are talking on the phone with your online boyfriend? If so, it's easier to pick up on the signs online boyfriend is cheating, especially if he won't answer your phone calls! How many times have you called him? Has he answered at all? That's a sign girls, I hate to say it. He can't be that busy all of the time right?
2. Always Too Busy to Call You
If he is busy all that time, is he too busy to call you? Does he call you at all? Ever? That's another sign girls that he could be spending time with someone 'real', instead of someone that he has committed himself to emotionally. Sometimes, when you are dating someone online, it's hard to be truthful always, but if you find the phone calls decreasing and next to nothing, he could be cheating.
Frequently asked questions
3. Never Online
In the beginning of the relationship, was he always online? Was he constantly messaging you and constantly popping up? Is he never, ever online now? Is he always 'away' or just not ever showing up? It could be because he is spending his time with someone else instead of with you.
4. His Privacy Settings on Facebook
Oh, this is a big one and one that is very hard to figure out. He could have his privacy settings on Facebook set so that you don't see everything that he posts. It is very hard to figure this one out, but if you share the same friends and your friends are seeing posts that you aren't, that's a sign girls.
5. He Doesn't Text You a Lot
Sending through a quick text message doesn't take a whole lot of time does it? Are you not getting any text messages from him? Are you seeing a decrease in all of the communication? That could be because he is with someone else now, but doesn't want to end it with you. Think about it girls.
6. He Makes up Stories about Where He Was
When you finally do get a hold of him, does it take him a while to actually answer you when you question where he was? Does he often stumble over his words and stories? That could be a huge red flag that you need to watch out for when you're dealing with an online boyfriend.
7. You See Him Tagged in Pictures with Girls
Okay, so maybe he hasn't set any of his privacy settings at all and you now are seeing him tagged with 'friends' of his that are all girls. Do you see that on your newsfeed? Do you see inappropriate things? It could be a sign that he is cheating on you with people that he's met.
8. You Know None of His Friends
This is another tricky one, as most online boyfriends don't immediately introduce their friends to their 'girlfriend', especially if they haven't met them, but if your guy is typically open about who his friends are and will even call you when they are around him – but you don't get to talk to them? That's a sign girls.
9. The Feeling is Different
Finally, go with your gut! If the feeling between you two is different, talk to him about it! Figure out what the problem is, figure out where he has been spending his time and where his head is at. It might just be a conversation that has to be had, that's all.
So girls, those are all of my tips and signs that you can use to spot if your online boyfriend is cheating on you! Are you dating someone online? Are you in an online relationship? Share your experience in the comments!

Ren: Hi heather! I hope you can help, everything on this list is fine with me and my boyfriend except for two things... He doesn't text me lots and his Facebook settings hides his photos from me and what people post to his wall. Now I have another Facebook I made a long time ago and that's how I figured out on my main FB that I'm blocked and our status doesn't show up. On my other FB nothing was wrong on his profile, he has chick friends so those are the only girls that talk to him and that's ok. The only thing that bothers me is our status doesn't show up. Also I think the texting thing is cause he's more of a talker then a typer, even when we talk on Skype he insists we call, what do you think??
Cordelia: If its online hw is it evn a relationship at all ?
Jojo: Hii Heather could you pls help me!!! Me and my bf make 1 month today. But he hardly txts back frm snapchat...i even told him we dnt hve a long convo that we use to hve. Ive been crying some nights just to wait for his damn txt, i really dnt know what to do. There are times when i get a txt from him...i txt asap then he looks at it then he doesnt reply. Im in love with him really am. He told me that he had been really busy in life...and im thinking he shud at least cut some time from his busy schedule to at least chat with me, or do i sound to needy. We only face to face chated 4 times. Now i feel used and he just brush me aside. I met him on a online dating site now i feel regrets now. I should have learn frm my first online dating....imma just wait and see whats going to happen
joy: hi there, i need some advice... i got this 1 and half online boyfriend we haven't met yet in personal, he did twice to fail to visit in my country for some reasons and this coming march would be his third time that he promise he would come. But i am just troubled now, because he was all so much in accusing me that i was lying on him that if he is not online i spend my time talking to other guys. We always talks in FB mostly everyday at his late nights when he got home from work because he was a business man. But i just can't take this anymore everytime he accused me that i did talk to some other guys and i have been hiding things on him but eversince i was all open to him. Then he would already say he can't take it anymore and better to end our relationship because he can't take it anymore everytime I'm defemding myself. Why is he like that already?
Faith: Hi I feel kinda of wird saying this but I need help I meet my boyfriend 6 months ago and he used to call me every night on the phone he then quite doing that and he beary even talks to Me now I am really confused on what is going on I don't want to think he Is cheating on me becues I really do love him
Sheena2001: Privacy is everyones right. We should respect it. Heck, we're not even allowed to check our partners phone. Men cheat for a reason. I mean, they're not that dumb. Maybe they dont really like their partner/anymore.
