If I were dating someone, I wouldn't be in a rush to announce it on FB. I'd want to enjoy getting to know him and us first without an audience or someone asking me how it's going every 5 minutes.
I'm an active user, but I'm also pretty private about certain aspects of my life and this is one of them. Once the relationship was firmly established, and I told my late hubby's family in person there was someone new, I'd maybe change it on FB. Of course, if it was super important to him, I'd rethink this.
All my friends on FB that i care about would already know because I share personal details like that personally, and not by making a post on social media.
I really hate when i find out about a death, or engagement through FB because I don't scan it every second of every day. Then i bump into someone and hear "You didn't know so-and-so got engaged? It was on FB!" Sorry. I live my life in the real worls
Do you add your new SO to your FB as an SO? If so, how soon do you announce them as your SO?
OR do you not add them as a friend? Add them as a friend, but never an SO? Etc?
Why?
Lol...no, I don't consider FB announcements to be important. I do post poetry and monologue stuff that are inspired by my relationship, but my sweety doesn't even own a computer. Well, actually, she just bought one, I'm supposed to help her gat it set up when its delivered. I doubt she will even play with any social sites, but then again, she might. We shall see.
I have a female friend that likes to check in, read and comment about my relationship inspired postings. Lol, her guy is a dick when it comes to expressing affectionate feelings. Bothe her and him are old friends from high school. They are an odd couple. She tells me it helps her a lot to read my stuff, and see that a man can be a sap when it comes to his lady love, and not be ...unmanly. For my part, I will admit, that's rather flattering. Hey, if I can help someone out just by writing stuff out I'm all for it.
If I can add some positive inspiration for someone, by simply expressing myself, that's a good thing.
I didn't announce it on FB no matter how long we were together. Some people just don't need to know.
I've have unfriend people who are just going to be nosy and cause drama.
Then it's like announcing your relationship to maybe 10 people.
