A hyperpersonal relationship is when two or more people talk online or over a computer or electronic device. These are less personal than face-to-face relationships and communication because the person who sends out a message, text, or IM has time to think about what he wants to say and can prepare and strategize, and not worry about anxiety or embarassment as much as a one-on-one conversation.

Hyperpersonal relationships in modern society also tend to be distancing, allowing people to be less "human" when they don't have to actually interact with others in person, thus presenting an often false or perfected image of one's self that may hide or gloss over character flaws and traits, and distancing themselves from true social interactions and all the negatives - and positives - that come with it. This is true for both romantic and platonic relationships.

Some examples of where this takes place include: phone texting, Skype, Facebook, Twitter, OKCupid, and Match.com.
