In the last few years, the social media
have become a necessity for most people. People use social networks in order to
find new people, old friends, and even family members. However, this is not
everything about the social media. It is also a method of knowing a person’s
interests, passions and even dislikes.
I am sure that at one point, you found
yourself in the position of looking for possible life partners, for a new
relationship, etc. In this respect, people find it easier to chat to a new
person, without feeling exposed. Social networks give us this possibility since
we are always behind a screen, and no one can change this, only ourselves.
Real-time and geosocial sites have changed
the dating game. Now, when everybody is sharing what they are doing and where
they checked in, it is hard to maintain a level of privacy or intimacy. For
example, you ask someone out for a drink, and he or she declines the offer
saying he has other plans. Then you see them checking in at a restaurant close
to you. This might be quite disappointing for most people.
In this respect, here are some tips you
need to keep in mind when trying to start online dating using all those social
networks. You need to pay attention to what you share, who your friends are,
and even what you like. When you have mutual passions and like similar things
with a girl you like, then you should keep in mind not to pay that much of
attention. There is no need to like everything she does online. If you decide
to do this, choose a more significant post and comment on it.
When a relationship starts to arrange in
its place, you will have to be more careful than even. I know that our
generations tend to share every important milestone online, such as the first
date, first kiss or first trip together. This is not necessary. If you still
want to do it, you should consider asking for the other person as well. It is
actually rude to take such decision alone, especially since the relationship
means two persons involved. Respect your partner’s decisions to keep the
relationship statuses private.
Related to the friends’ aspect, here are
some good advices. Most people out there, when starting a new relationship
start chasing the partner’s friends or family members by sending friend
requests or commenting their pictures. This is not advised since it will simply
make you feel like a stalker. The same thing applies to her mother. Just do not
become online friends with her mother.
Unless you are both social media addicts,
there is no need to check in using Foursquare to each and every date you go to.
The world does not need to know you have a date in a fancy restaurant. So, at
least at the beginning, count your shares and check-ins to maintain a decent
level.
Twitter might be a great way to keep in
touch with all of your friends and acquaintances, but it is definitely not the
place where you should discuss your date to your friends. Therefore, if you
want to discuss the magical date you had last night, feel free to use the SMS
or message alternative. It is safer and more private.
In the last part, let us talk about
breaking up. Unfortunately, this is natural, and people breakup each day.
However, you should not make a big case out of this. Breaking up in a world
where things are more publicized than even is actually pretty difficult. If you
already pined your relationship on as a milestone on your timeline, then you
should be the first one to change the relationship status.
If you choose to stay friends, you need to deal
with the customization settings because there is no need for you to know 24/7
what they are up to. Remove them from your location-based services, at least
for a little while, and you will get over easier. Maintain a level of decency,
and keep your relationship off the radar.
