what's the difference between distance relationships and online dating? how long do you have to know somebody for it to be a long distance relationship instead of online dating?

Online dating can be in like a game you might not even now the person they can be like twice your age! But a distance relationship you know who they are because you can call them or face time and text them and send pictures of yourself to them. You need to know them for a long time so you can trust them because they might be cheating but if you know them for a long time you would know if they would cheat or not and for online dating it dosnt matter if you know the person for a long time they can be cat fishing you or lieing to you and a little extra you should be a long distance relationship then a online relationship. Hope this helps!
