I don’t know if this is just not normal or still considered a separation, but are any twin flames in a long-distance relationship with their tf?
Or has anyone started entirely online - no prior meeting, no shared physical space, just this pull through a screen?

I might have a slightly different experience from some.
I did meet my TF on a dating app, but at the time, I was trying to actively casually date for once. I met three people in the same week, and my twin was the last one. I actually almost cancelled on her because she was “too perfect”.
I’d always dated people who were too similar to me, and she was more perfect than usual, so I kind of caught myself for a moment falling into a pattern.
I say this because I have definitely spoken to people online and felt some sort of familiarity, but I’ve also spoken to my twin and not been hit in the same way. She seemed sweet, and I was attracted to her, but it wasn’t until we physically met that it hit me, and that was immediate.
As for your main question on long distance, only for about 6 weeks. Not long after we met I had some prior commitments to take care of and normally I don’t answer my phone much or struggle with being phyiscally apart but with her… I was on my phone all the time. Also had that telepathy feeling. I still remember walking down the street to my local breakfast spot and feeling like she was beside me just chattering away.
I don’t think this is recorded in the tf statistics, but I do suspect this is more common than not. I don’t know if it is a good thing or not, but more and more of us are meeting online, so it just stands to reason that twin flames would as well.
My tf and I started online too. No prior meeting, no mutual friends, nothing. Just a random interaction that turned into something neither of us could walk away from.
The pull-through a screen is real. There was this weird familiarity, like I had spoken to them before, even though I obviously hadn’t. I know people on here who met their tf playing an online game, through social media comments, all kinds of random digital spaces. It happens.
I mean, it’s already unlikely enough that you would even have a twin flame, let alone meet them. Online we’re exposed to more people and if you’re not in the same physical place if the universe is going to move things so you meet… that seems like the most obvious way.
Something that stands out with the long distance specifically… the telepathic stuff tends to get stronger. Shared dreams, feeling each other’s emotions from far away, waking up at the same time. When the physical distance grows, there’s often an increase in dream sharing and energetic communication, almost like the connection is compensating for the lack of physical closeness. Everyone experiences it differently.
So I am temporarily long-distance with my twin, but we already went through all our DNOTS & separation. We have our own place together, but we both work on the road a lot, and it just so happens that this season has a lot more travel for both of us, so we don’t have much time in the house together.
Not sure if that’s the kind of long distance you’re asking about, though.
We have friends who use these apps to help each other keep in touch. It does little check-in prompts throughout the day, but we haven’t really had to worry about that. We still get those little syncs, so we just know when the other wants to talk. Sometimes I find myself picking my phone up just as she’s recording a voice message or something.
It still works and it won’t last forever.
Honestly? Love with an open hand, not a tight fist. That’s the biggest thing. And let Spirit show you what the connection actually is instead of rushing to slap a label on it.
I don’t really believe that long distance works for anyone other than twin flames.
Yes, long distance but not by choice. Just the situation doesn’t work for us right now in the physical.
My Twin and I are each other’s first loves. We grew up, met and dated in the same country. We broke up and lost contact for 22 years. During that time, I moved overseas.
In 2023, we reconnected at my father’s funeral when I travelled back home to be with my family. Since then, he has also moved overseas with his own family. So yes. We are currently long distance and in sporadic contact
I was exactly where you are not long ago. The best thing I learned was to not lose myself in the long distance constant chat and forgetting to just… be present. Those two things can really work against each other if you’re not careful. Long distance will never become more than that if you let it hold back your healing.
Only you can truly know what this connection means. Wishing you both the best on this path.
Seven years. Friendship across states, then continents, and I finally just… told him.
Turns out the feelings were mutual, but he’d sworn off relationships after getting burned before. So now he’s questioning basically everything about his life while I’m over here trying to give him space to figure it out. Which is harder than it sounds.
Yep, long distance here. I honestly don’t know if that makes it harder or easier compared to normal separation.
Three months was my limit with long distance and that nearly broke me, so I can’t even wrap my head around anyone doing it long term.
One thing worth sitting with, especially for online-only connections: does this person actually mirror your shadow and trigger real inner change, or does the distance itself feel like the intensity?
Screens let us fill in gaps. We project our own longing into the spaces where their actual energy should be, and it can feel the same as the real thing.
A good test though: has this connection forced you to confront something about yourself you were actively avoiding, or does it mostly just feel like a beautiful escape?
Before I connected with my actual twin, I went through two other intense long-distance connections that I was sure were my twin flame. They weren’t. They were catalysts - people who activated specific wounds I needed to heal first. I’m grateful for that now, but at the time it was confusing as hell.
The difference I noticed is that with catalysts, the pull was desperate and anxious. Almost frantic. With my actual twin, there’s this calm knowing underneath everything, even through a screen. I expected it to feel more intense, but it’s actually more settled.
Distance helped me learn the difference - without physical chemistry clouding things, you can feel the energetic signature more clearly. Just my experience though.
Met my twin entirely online - different country, totally digital. And honestly, that connection was just as real as anything physical, maybe more so in some ways.
We finally met in person and spent six months basically inseparable. Then separation hit hard (harder than I expected), but that’s exactly what pushed my awakening into overdrive.
I think that maybe long distance is a different form of separation.
Instant thing through a screen, and suddenly you just know. Met online. He’s in the UK, I’m here in the states, juggling life and distance.
I think we have some stories here about TFs who just happened to meet while travelling. They were both in a foreign country and just happened to be in the right place at the right time (Spirit working for them) but after that they can potentially face separation. That must be tough.
Different countries here too. The distance is hard, but we’ve got something real.
