Is Facebook Ruining Your Relationship ?

Is Facebook Ruining Your Relationship ?

Will it shock you to know that Facebook may be ruining your relationship? Let us show you how!

Here's a breakdown, complete with labels, scenarios and love lessons to give you tips on how to handle the Facebook challenge.

Your Relationship Status

You like a girl, she likes you. You date, you share a bed, spend some time together. Everything is tralala.

Then she asks, 'Are we like, TOGETHER in the facebook relationship status?'

You react inadequately and you don't change your profile settings and suddenly, just like that, it's over!

Old Photos

If he's your Facebook friend, he already knows too much.

He's seen you two years ago when you had that crazy haircut, five years ago when your face couldn't be seen for the acne and last week when you got drunk with your friends.

He already knows your flaws and may throw them on your face anytime. Ouch!

Tagging Her Rudely

A photo that you think you are tagging in completely harmless humour may make your sweetheart cringe, cry or call it quits on you.

So instead of being audacious, just let her know you uploaded some photos and she can feel free to tag them herself.

Your Past Romances Invade

Your personal history is splashed all over Facebook.

Your present boyfriend can scan through the love life of your recent years and see who you dated, how it went, what he looked like and the sweet romantic messages posted.

They do have the delete option above comments for this reason in particular.

Poking

Poking is the virtual, manner of pinching someone playfully in Kindergarten school.

It means 'I think you're cute, but I'm a coward.' Unless you're already dating a girl, and you know she's the type that would get a kick out of something like this, don't do it.

It's kind of silly and has the potential to kill your romance fast.

Becoming a 'Wrong Fan'

What groups you join, what pages are your favorite, what you promote - all of this counts for the potential partner when summing you up.

So, be picky about what invitations and page suggestions you accept. Else, what you thought of as a simple click to support a friend, may simply stop your love life.

Discovering Your Inbox

If you're at her house and you happen to log on and then leave without logging out, she may snoop around your inbox.

You may not remember having any awkward messages stored away but how do you know who has recently messaged you or what past messages may somehow surface to damage a perfectly good present relationship?

Make this a rule: Always log out.

General Jealousy

Internet groupies are a huge problem for both sexes. If you happen to have a lot of them, try never to respond to their advances in any way that she/he could misinterpret as interest.

You could get a strange feeling that you're not the only one he/she's flirting with. Not the nicest feeling in a relationship, is it?
