Is it normal for a girl to like a guy online more than real life guys

I have a friend that dated a bunch of guys on the internet and in REAL LIFE but she's always trying to work things out with this one guy she's known on the internet for years. They bond and flirt online, argue and breakup, she dates a guy online or in real life, and he does his own thing too. She seems to date in real life more than he does but she becomes more desperate for him than he does for her. They obviously have a bond but if she becomes uninterested in him, or if he wants out, he lets her go. They had a fallout recently, and he hasn't been too eager to let her back in. And shes months older than he is, I think. My friends and I don't get it. She hooks up with guys in real but she always sees something special in him. How can she be this way with a guy she never met?

    When she talks to him online, she doesn't really know what he's like, and there is probably a lot that she doesn't know about him, so she fills all that stuff in with what she's looking for in a perfect man. It's the combination of him being mysterious, because of the internet, and her creating this image of what she wants him to be like.

    He's got that unsullied image of the untouchable boyfriend about him; because it's so easy to craft an image on the internet, she may never come to fully see all of his flaws, and perhaps she likes it that way. She can always return to him because she never has to invest her all in him. He can never hurt her as badly as a man in real time can, and she can always fantasize about him and use him as a way to escape, I guess, if any of her real relationships turn sour.

    • He trashed her a few times and ditched her for other online friends too. I've seen him be an asshole towards her once in awhile when they argue. He can be a drama queen but so can she. She's cried to me about it. And I told her to let him go but she values him. So they work things out. She has more drama with him than guys in real life, tbh. They're mutual friends right now. He thinks things with her are too draining sometimes, so he's giving them space.

        I honestly don't see what she sees in him, then. I've known people like that before; there's no reasoning with them (of course, you can't reason someone out of a position they probably didn't reason themselves into!). Of course, feelings can be funny things. I don't know.
