Schrödinger’s Catfish

When you’re talking to someone online and you’re not sure if they’re real or a catfish — they exist in a superposition of being both real and a catfish until you meet them or see them on video.
Example:
Person 1: Yeah bro, the girl I’m talking to is really cool.
Person 2: Great, have you seen her yet?
Person 1: No, but I sent her flowers.
Person 2: Ah… Schrödinger’s Catfish. Poor guy.
