How do you keep your new relationship on the down-low?
Cupid’s Advice:
When your relationship is just blossoming, it can be difficult to figure out your own feelings about that person if your relationship is highly publicized. With everyone giving you their input, and pestering you about the latest details of your love life, you may get caught up in the attention and neglect the fact that it may not even be working. By initially keeping your new relationship on the down-low, you’ll be able to discover your feelings for your new beau, and find out whether or not you could really gal for this person:
1. Hold off on updating your social media status: Until you get out of the murky waters of “What direction is this going in?” you don’t need to make your relationship Facebook Official. These days defining your relationship is harder than it looks, so at first your don’t want to jump to conclusions about your relationship status with your man. Just keep cool, calm and collective, and once you both have your feet on the ground you can upload those adorable selfies you have on your camera roll.

2. Do a trial run: Get out of town for the day. Go to a place where there’s no pressure because you won’t run into anyone you know. This way you don’t have to worry about awkward introductions such as wondering whether to refer to your guy as your friend, boyfriend, or anything else. Now the two of you can test the waters of what it’s like to be out in public together, while still getting to know each other on a deeper level.

3. Don’t make it a big deal until it’s a big deal: When your friends and family inquire about your love-life, keep your answer vague. You don’t want to let them in the know until there is actual information to give. It may send the wrong signals to your guy by including loved ones in your dating life. He may think you’re trying to get serious too quick, and you don’t want your family to get confused if things don’t work out.

Q&A: Should I Delete or Unfriend My Exes on Social Networks?

Question from Shelby F.: Whenever a guy and I breakup, I always wonder if I should completely delete him from my life.

Cupid’s Weekly Round-Up: Surviving a Breakup
By Shannon Seibert
We all know that breakups are painful. Whether you’re the one breaking someone’s heart or the one being dumped, the situation is inevitably unpleasant. Instead of vacationing on the island of Splitsville surrounded by an emotion ocean, keep your heartbreak clean and classy. Here are five articles from our partners to help you survive the breakup blues:
1. Don’t be “that girl”: As tough as it may be to face your partner, indirect breakups are never the answer. If you are the one breaking it off, it’s best to be respectable and ladylike. Check out these people who made the mistake of using social media to do their dirty work. (YourTango.com)
2. If he cuts you off, cut him out: There is nothing worse than going on Facebook and seeing your ex with new arm candy after a recent split. To help the moving on process, clean up your social media. Take down your old pictures, unfriend or unfollow him, and stop checking in on him every day. Lucky for you, in this day and age, there’s an app for that. (YourTango.com)
3. Keep yourself busy: Wallowing in unreciprocated emotions isn’t a positive way of moving forward. Try taking on new tasks or a new hobby. For example, yoga is a great way to cleanse a broken heart while getting into better shape. Take a look at this article, which shows that even Ivanka Trump’s young daughter Arabella can do it. (CelebrityBabyScoop.com)
4. Don’t text him: Texting is an easy way to get yourself into trouble. If you ever wonder if you should reach out to him after you say your goodbyes, the answer is always no. Use this texting guide to avoid uncomfortable situations. (GalTime.com)
5. Ex is for example: Use this breakup as a learning opportunity for yourself and figure out what you don’t want in a relationship. Stop dating the wrong guys and find someone who you see in your future. (GalTime.com)
