Is a relationship official if it’s not “Facebook Official”? Social media plays a huge role in relationships these days. We have the ability to change our relationship status on Facebook for other people to see, ‘like’ and comment. When it comes down to it though, does it even matter?
Some of you might think if your guy doesn’t want to change his relationship status, then he MUST be cheating. We all know that’s not usually the case. Chances are, he probably doesn’t even go on Facebook. Don’t take it personally if changing his relationship status isn’t the first thing on his mind. Not going to lie, it’s beyond adorable when the guy is the one who wants you to change your relationship status. This is the type of guy you want to keep around, because you know they’re actually into you and want to show you off! To be honest, there isn’t a bigger turn on than a guy showing off his girlfriend like he’s on cloud nine.
What if he hides his relationship status? That’s when you should be a little concerned, since it’s almost like he doesn’t want other girls knowing he’s in a relationship. I mean that’s definitely not ALWAYS the case, but it is a little sketchy.
Making things FBO always seems to put a little stress on the relationship. All of a sudden, things are starting to get serious, but as long as you’re prepared for the commitment, then why not? When it comes down to it, do what you think is best for the two of you. Just make sure becoming FBO isn’t the first thing on your mind as soon as you’re in a relationship. Just enjoy each other and take things slow. Once you’re both ready, you can make it FBO and prepare yourselves for the mass comments and texts from friends and family members! The only bummer is when your relationship status changes back to single, and you get more mass texts from friends and family asking if you’re okay. The last thing you feel like doing after a break up is talking about the break up with a million people.
Always remind yourself to not let social media get in the way of your relationship. I feel like social media platforms these days, like Facebook and Twitter, make us think that our guy is cheating when it’s nothing of the sort. It’s almost like when he’s officially your boyfriend, you constantly check his Facebook to see if girls are talking to him. If they do, you always tend to overanalyze what she says to him and how he’s responding. It’s almost better to delete your Facebook altogether if it gets to that point… no need to go all psycho girlfriend (or at least not early on in the relationship).
