enchanted771 Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Just curious how many of you have had to not be On a social networking with someone your dating? I used to Be on them (fb) with my exes but I get jealous and it always caused issues so I decided not to be. My new guy I'm only on Instagram with and I'm already feeling anxious. He follows over 1,000 people and everytime there's a new one I see on my feed. It's an obsession I know. So I decided to log off and I'm only logging on maybe once a week. Causes too much anxiety. Anyone experience this and if so what did you do?
WonderKid Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 You need to start going on hiatus from social media. Not trying to tell you how to run your life. But social media and dating does not mix. Facebook is designed for cheating. And how could you be jealous over 1000 people he is following? Probably only like 20 of them really know him. Ask yourself. How can you actually communicate with only Instagram and Facebook? Why not get off that stuff and actually plan a date where the two of you actually meet and talk without phones and tablets? Social media doesn't have to be the foundation of your dating life seriously.
Author enchanted771 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 We have met and are dating. I don't communicate with him by the social media. I was getting perspective from others on this topic,
Gaeta Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I have never added a boyfriend on FB and I don't use other media. I don't do it because I don't want to be misinterpreting what I see and I don't want to obsess over some woman he added and I certainly do not want to nag him about who's that new woman on his FB when it's probably just a colleague or a cousin.

Yes exactly. Good point. He's not on my Fb which is for the best. I know how I am.
todreaminblue Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 i havent really followed a guy i am dating on social media...but as far as anxiety goes if i feel it with a guy i am dating....i try to put my thoughts away from the thing that is making me anxious or talk it out with the guy i am with before it snowballs into a real problem....deb
Mrin Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I think it is bad news until you're solidly an item. Then it is okay. Otherwise you are just playing with fire. I've only friended two romantic interests. One I severed all social media ties with when we broke up. The other? Well she's still going strong!
