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!

Geoff: ok... since nobody seems to get this... if you met the man/woman online and have never met in the first place how can you really be dating? yeah you can skype and things of that nature, you could even have agreed that your "dating", but lets be honest. how much of a connection can you really get over a computer, or even a phone for that matter? your setting yourself up for failure if you use nothing but online dating sites any way. log off the computer and head out into the world and meet people. 9 times outta 10 its not gonna kill you.
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??
Williams: "I was with a girlfriend for five years and was making plans to propose to her. Then one day, she said she wanted to take a break to figure things out. That was about four years ago. She got married about two years after her "break" to a coworker who I later found out through the help of hackgoodnesstech on insta, gram that she had been cheating on me with the whole time we were together. I was devastated at the time, but now I think it was all for the best. Also, it's a small world, because her husband is cheating on her with my staff. Thanks karma!" I might just give my staff a promotion, what do you guys think

nanayaa: does it mean that sometimes when he doesn't pick my calls it means he is cheating?

Sheena: Hi there, I'm with my bf for 1yr 1/2 now... he visits me in my country but he comes back to his country for work. When we were just starting, he constantly calls me, even sends me flowers for valentines even when we were in a long distance relationship. But all of a sudden when he recently went back to his country, things changed. We decided that he should go back to his country for work and for us to save money because we found out that I'm pregnant. But as soon as he arrived at his country he started going out with his friends instead of focusing on work like what he used to do. There were moments where I just couldn't reach him. His phone is off for 7 hours.. or he doesn't answer his phone for 24 hours. My gut feel tells me he is cheating but I couldn't prove that. Maybe he had a 1 night stand, a fling.. or whatever you call it.. He even became irritable at some point. His family knows about me and they know I am pregnant. I think 2 of his friends knows about me or at least have seen me on skype talking to him but that's about it. Recently he started calling me again and chatting with me again and having time for me again but I just couldn't get over the fact that he probably cheated on me.. I guess I will never be able to prove that.
