We all enjoy the perks of social media but have seen
relationships crash and burn for everyone to see when it’s put to use wrong.
Here are the Dos and Don’t for using social media in your relationship:
Do
· Check
out their profiles. Google them and see what you can learn
about them. Go through their facebook page to get to know more and use it to
start conversations in the early stages of dating.
· Post
pictures. Document your relationship and share memories by taking
tons of photos together and posting them. Even if you break up it’s fun to look
back at good memories.
· Friend
their friends. Expand your circle by friending their
friends. You’ll stay in the loop and can get to know everyone better.
Don’t
· Trash
them if you break up. No matter how mad or hurt you are, don’t
take to the Internet to trash them. Don’t be tempted to tweet about what a
loser they are or blog about how they hurt you. It will feel good at the time
but you’ll regret it down the road.
· Stalk
them.
It’s great to be able to creep on their facebook page to learn more about
someone that you like, but turning into a stalker is a major don’t. Don’t use
their tweets to figure out where they are and start following them around or
follow every conversation they’re having with other people.
· Change
your status the second you break up. Don’t be inconsiderate by
rushing online as soon as you break up to announce it to the world. Let the
dust settle before you make it public.
· Hack
their accounts. Even if you know their password, resist the
temptation to hack into their private messages. You are better than that.
· Reveal
too many details. It’s great to share photos and updates
about what you’re up to, but don’t announce intimate details of your
relationship online for the whole world to see. The only people that need all
the details are the two of you, not every one of your friends and followers.
