This probably seems like such a teenager question, but how long do you usually wait to add/follow the person you're dating on social media?
Personally I don't know if I ever want to, unless the guy has a super interesting Twitter feed and Instagram pics. That's just me, but I know people live to change their relationship status so... just wondering.
(And seriously, if you don't use social media and think it's stupid, don't bother to answer because obviously the question isn't directed toward you.)
When I was dating, I didn't want to be Facebook friends with the guys I dated. I wanted to get to know each other through our personal interactions, not by reading things we chose to share wih the masses. My boyfriend wasn't even on Facebook when we started dating, and I coaxed him to join after we were fairly serious. I didn't care about the relationship status...I don't even know when we changed it, but it was probably close to a year into the relationship. At our age (mid-40s) those things don't mean much to us.
I always prefer to be at least Facebook friends with the girl I'm seeing. Then if we want to share our relationship status on Facebook, then we do so. Otherwise, people don't need to know.
I used to be a littler concerned about stalkers and people who stir up drama just for giggles, but I've unfriended them so it shouldn't be as big of an issue if I decide to share any relationship status on Facebook.
Why would you ever imagine there is a rule for this type of stuff rather than just doing whatever feels right? On the other hand, I would question people who are all over each other on social media. If you're really that much in love, you wouldn't bother to try so hard to show the rest of the world.

Yeah. It's all an act for attention and most people just fall or it with likes and comments.

I'm not imagining anything. I'm creating a conversation. People have different opinions. That's what happens in an Internet forum.
If the guy asked most of the time I would agree, that was usually around the time we became exclusive, with a few exceptions.
