My boyfriend and I have been dating for a year, and he won't add me as a friend on Facebook. He's told me that he doesn't log on to Facebook very often and pretty much all the people who are on his friends list added him first and he doesn't talk to them. He has a private profile, however, so I can't see who his friends are or how often he uses the site. I have jokingly complained to him about not adding me because I didn't want to make a big deal about it, but it really hurts my feelings because it makes me think that he either doesn't think very much of me or doesn't want to publicly acknowledge our relationship to his friends. I've never sent him a friend request because I don't want to be rejected by MY OWN BOYFRIEND, but he knows that I would gladly accept if he sent one to me. I understand that social networking sites have the potential to cause drama in relationships, so that's why I haven't really pushed the issue, but am I wrong to feel even somewhat slighted by this??
I don't think you are wrong at all. I am sure I would feel the same way. there really is only one of two things going on that he wouldn't want to add you. one is exactaly what he told you. or he doesn't want you reading his posts. I would talk with him and tell him what you feel. do you trust him? how committed are the two of you? are you both on the same page. people should be allowed privacy but you should also know what kind of relationship you are in. tell him your worry and see what he does and says

I won't add my BF, but he's hardly ever on there anyway. He hasn't even asked so it isn't a big deal...I just don't want him on there. Maybe at some point, but not yet.
If your relationship cant stand not being added as a friend on someone's myspace/facebook, I dont think you guys are going to get very far. You should probably end it now before one of you gets called hurtful names like doody head or dumby face.
Why would you even ask if he will add you? just send him the request and be done with it. Of course if you get added will you get upset if you doesn't put "In a relationship with _____"

That's the whole freaking point.
If it effs up for some reason, you have 300 friends (read "nosey folks") to answer to. Others like this drama in your life.

Not trying to hurt you, but to be blunt, he probably flirts around a bit and doesn't want you seeing it.
