Question from Sarah J.: I’ve been really annoyed by the amount of relationship pictures showing up on my News Feed – all I see are photos of couples kissing or cuddling! Where does social media draw the line on public displays of affection (PDA)? How much relationship sharing is too much?
Question from Tara M.: I just moved a couple states away from my boyfriend for a new job. We’re having trouble adjusting to the distance and need some new ways to keep in touch and keep our relationship strong. How can social media help my long-distance relationship?Â
Question from Kirsten B.: My boyfriend always logs into my Gmail account to get access to YouTube, but lately, he’s been asking for my Facebook and Twitter passwords too. I’m just not comfortable letting him have access to those accounts. Am I being too untrusting?
Question from Lauren A.: I was dating a guy for a month when he broke up with me via text. I thought this was extremely impersonal and I deserved at least a phone call, but my guy friends said that because we were only dating for a short length of time, breaking up with a text message is fine. What are your thoughts? Is there a certain length of time you have to be dating someone to receive a more intimate break-up? Â Â
Have you been dating your guy for a few months, but he still hasn’t changed his Facebook status to “in a relationship”? Or, does the new man your dating text you saying he misses you and then you don’t hear from him for days? These are common scenarios in our new technology-driven dating world. If you are challenged with how to navigate all of this, don’t despair.
On Thursday, August 2nd, CupidsPulse.com will be launching a new advice column focused on this very issue. From texting to emailing to Twitter and Facebook, each month we will highlight a social media scenario and engage three experts (all from different areas of the country and different stages of life) to provide their perspective on how best to handle the situation.
Our advice column experts will include Paige Wyatt, the reality star of Discovery Channel’s ‘American Gun’s’; Tristan Coopersmith, a “love stylist” working on her degree to become a psychotherapist; and Suzanne Oshima, a matchmaker and dating coach. Dating in the digital world is difficult – let us make it a bit easier for you!
