7 Common Dating Mistakes You Need To Avoid On Facebook

While Facebook has made it easy to forge new relationships, the unreserved amount of info available on your online profile has made it just as easy to break relationships as well.

To ensure your relationship’s longevity, here’s a list of seven common dating mistakes you need to avoid on Facebook:

Do not develop a separate set of privacy settings for your partner

And if you are, be smart enough not to get caught. While we can understand why you may feel the need to censor certain stuff, but unfortunately your partner may not be as understanding on finding out that you’ve been keeping stuff from him.

Do not indulge in online PDA with your ex

Sure, you may feel honor bound to live up to the ‘Let’s remain friends’ promise that you made to your ex, but excessive likes and cutesy comments on your ex’s profile pictures are not the smartest way to make your current partner feel secure about your relationship.

Do not update or change your relationship status

Without running it by your partner first. Spare yourself an embarrassing thread of comments and your entire friend list some free entertainment by making sure you and your partner are on the same page before updating the virtual one.

Do not send friend requests to his entire extended family tree

Because it’s just plain weird. And borderline creepy.

Do not detail every second you spend together online

Yes, we all know you are in love, and unless your entire friend list consists of KJo and his army of scriptwriters, they really couldn’t be less interested in the trivial details of your love life. Do your friends and your partner a favor and go easy on the TMI.

Do not upload pictures that you feel your partner may not be comfortable with

What happens on Facebook, sure does not stay on Facebook. All of Mark Zuckerberg’s carefully crafted privacy settings won’t stop some unnoticed mutual friend from slyly making sure photos of you sloshed at the bar last night find their way to him.

Do not obsessively stalk your significant other online

Give your partner some breathing space and grow a bit less generous with the like button; if he really loves you, we’re sure he’ll forgive you for not liking every random status and photo he’s been tagged in for the past five years.
