We all go a little nuts with the information super highway at our fingertips. If I’m about to go on a blind date, of course I Google the guy to make sure he has no police record and he is who he claims to be. After the date, I may friend him on Facebook, or start following his tweets. Unfortunately, when we start checking these resources a little too frequently, it could work against us.
I’m reminded of a friend who was in love with a good friend of hers for at least a year. She would check his FB page every hour, and obsess over girls in every photo, or who he had just friended, or what his relationship status was. This example is kind of extreme, but when it comes to dating, we have to back away from the computer. Don’t obsess over someone’s status reports or pictures. Don’t prematurely post your status as “in a relationship” if you have been out with a great guy 4 times. Give him a little space to breathe. And please…talk first before posting.
It’s late and I’m tired. For those of you who are up, enjoy the surfing. I’m headed off to check FB. Ha, kidding…
Really, after one date you’d friend a guy?
Maybe I’m weird but I won’t let a guy into my social media universe (if he’s not there already) until we’ve been out a few times and I’ve decided he’s a keeper.
