    Hi

    I’ve been dating this guy for 7 months now. We’re getting along better (since I started reading your posts and changed my ways).
    I wonder when would be a good time to add him on FB?
    I’ve met his friends. Two of which added me to be their friends on FB. He noticed that but didn’t bring it up with me. He told me that he rarely logs in to FB and he only uses it to read things he subscribed too.

    I have no relationship status and I wouldn’t want him to change his either…
    Not sure what to do…

    No. font add him fb is evil…you end up stalking each other. . wondering why he is ‘liking other posts. . who are his new friends etc etc etc. leave well alone.

    I agree with Harley. I wouldn’t want to add anyone I’m dating again on fb unless I’m engaged or married with him.

    FB kills relationships. It almost drove me crazy when I was still dating ky ex, so I had to delete it. Breathe of fresh air. Life is so much happier without social media.

    Ask yourself why you want him to be on your FB? If you’re already very happy now, I wouldn’t suggest adding each other. It can affect your relationship.

    Thank you that makes sense. I trust him but I see all my friends coupled up and posting tons of photos of being happy and doing stuff.
    I can only check out his friends… He befriended two sexy girls – he met on a night out last week….
    It just makes me wonder why not me?
    Should I bring it up and ask or send it without asking or just ignore it.
    As you said, life is better without it?

    Thanks
    I

    The flip side of the coin on this is if you did you would see things. Things you should already know anyway. Not a big deal.

    If you did start obsessing over his FB, you should do a quick check as to the why you are doing it? Are you being insecure? Why could that be? No need. :)

    If you did go ahead and do it, don’t even bring it up. Just do it. If he asks, just say that it wasn’t a big deal. It honestly shouldn’t require a conversation.

    If him befriending sexy girls is already giving you this weird feelings, imagine what more it can do when you’re finally on each other’s list.

    I’d say just ignore it. And I suggest staying away from on his FB either, it’ll just create unecessary worries like what you’re having now.

    Just because everyone else is posting couple pics doesn’t mean you need to do the same. Focus on your relationship with him in person, how he puts in effort, takes you out on dates, and make you happy–that’s the basis of a good relationship. Forget the virtual world and the people in it, they’re just that–virtual. What’s important is he calls you his girlfriend and he always makes you feel like one.

    You can simply friend him with no relationship status. But only if you can never look at his page ;-)….

    I won’t be able not to look at his page!
    Perhaps should do it when an opportunity rises up?

    I wouldn’t worry about the relationship statis on FB, unless it says SINGLE. Even then, some guys never really update status. FB means nothing.

    Please for your own sanity, just drop this FB friending. And stay away from his page. From how you’re behaving now, it’s doing you and your relationship no good.

    Focus on the real thing.

    Hi IZ,

    Are you IN a relationship? Are you his GF? Does he say he loves you?

    If your officially BF/GF then I think its fine to FB, but if not then I would suggest finding a guy who does and would be super happy to share your relationship status and post all the great memories you’re creating together—that’s a sign of a guy “in love.”

    We’re officially together. He met my family I met most of his mates (he’s not in touch with his parents)
    We haven’t said “I love you” yet. I like him and I know he cares for me. That’s all. It started as fun I wanted to get serious i.e. Kids and marriage. He said that he can’t give me what I want. I deserve better. Howeve he does want to settle down and have family.
    I guess maybe not with me.
    He also said that he wants to be with me and he misses me when I’m not around etc.

    Lz,

    You have bigger problems then facebook – which is a man who has already told you he cannot give you what you want should be dumped. When a man tells you that, you should believe him.

    Why are you messing around with him????

    This is another issue totally unrelated to fb but worth looking at.

    “i can’t give you what you want. You deserve better.”

    Always believe when a man says this. And he told you he wants to have a family and settle down. Not with you, yes you’re right on that. That can change (rarely), bur right now, he doesn’t see this happening with you.

    Ask yourself if it’s really the man you want? Someone who can’t give you what you want?

    Oh IZ, why are you wasting your time with this man? I get there are periods in our lives where we don’t want a relationship, but if you do and this guy doesn’t then how does that benefit you? You are just an FWB, not an official couple so stop trying to ACT like a GF when you clearly are not. All exclusive means to him is that he’s locked your VG down but trust me on this, when he crosses the path of the woman he wants to lock down entirely, you will be tossed to side like yesterdays trash!

    I am intentionally being harsh with you because so many woman today ALLOW it because they think this is all they deserve! You do NOT deserve this, you deserve to be with a man who treats you like A QUEEN (prize). Please work on building up your self-esteem, respect, worth, value and confidence and only CHOOSE a man who loves, adores and cherishes you for the awesome woman you are! :-)

    Not only are u in denial but your making excuses for him.
    You two are NOT official. Meeting friends/family doesn’t automatically make u official. If he can add two random girls but not add you then something is up. Its not going to change.
