Online dating jealousy

The hours you spend innocently Facebook stalking your significant others or crushes may not be as harmless as you think. Deleting or rather deactivating your Facebook account can be the key to a more healthy relationship, according to a study from the University of Guelph. The now-public social networking phenomenon has revolutionized the way people communicate, but it may also be promoting jealousy when it comes to relationships.

In my last article I'd reached that odd dating grey area with Mr Facebook Stalk. We'd lost count of how many dates we'd been on, weren't dating anyone else, but hadn't really had any discussion about whether we were exclusively a couple. Luckily we were both spared the cringefest of raising the issue; his mate Steven referred to us as boyfriend and girlfriend while drunk in the back of a cab on the way back from a Rob Da Bank set at the Manchester International Festival. Neither of us protested and it was infinitely more romantic than finding out you have a boyfriend via their Facebook status, which once happened to my little sister.
