Starting a relationship online means that the barrier ('gates') are not present so a relationship can develop and once the self-disclosure increases, the gates become less of an issue.

        Joinson found that participants who discussed an abstract dilemma disclosed more personal information is they were in an online chatroom rather than chatting online with a video link. This suggests that anonymity leads to greater levels of self-disclosure.

        If they are unable to communicate effectively and lack social skills, individuals may develop a parasocial relationship that is one-sided and therefore preferable.
        
        Insecure resistant types of attachment are more likely to form a parasocial relationship because there is no fear of rejection and they can have their unfulfilled needs met.
      - Absorption addiction model
        
        This usually happens as a result of poor mental health functioning.
        
        In some cases the parasocial relationship becomes addictive meaning that it escalates quickly through the series of stages from entertainment to the most extreme borderline pathological level as they become more obsessed with the celebrity.

        Proposes that parasocial relationships make up for deficits in real life relationships, for example if a person feels unfulfilled in their current relationship they may look to celebrities to fulfil their needs.
