I agree. Bringing it up causes more problems than it's worth. I know from experience.

While I share John DeVore's dim perspective on social networking, many other people do not, including the one writing in for advice. If a public display of internet affection is something she wants from her boyfriend, then she probably already places a high value on that kind of thing.

However, I hope she seriously considers the last sentence of John's answer, because wouldn't you rather have an awesome, devoted boyfriend in private (who doesn't bother to let online voyeurs in on your life) than a neglectful boyfriend who diligently maintains a shallow social networking pretense?

but you can't help thinking if it's not that big of a deal, why is he posting on other people's pages while avoiding hers? it doesn't make sense.

Heres the thing, if he posts on other peoples pages then it is kinda weird that he wont post on yours- but if he doesnt then maybe the relationship status thing should be good enough. I had a facebook and I never posted a thing to anyone, it can b pretty time consuming and annoying. I didnt even put my gf as my sig other on my relationship status lol so maybe u should feel lucky? idk...consider all the factors b4 u bring this issue up to him and remember its just an online social network not real life.

Check out the other social sights he is on. Is he doing the same thing? Check out his friends list. See who mainly writes him. If it's mostly females with little names like Karen "your man wants me" Jenkins, or they're always calling him babe, baby, etc then it is because he likes the thrill of getting attention from other women. Whether you give it to him or not. It is exciting to him. He feels he already has you so what does he need to write you on FB for? This, in general, can be a sign that he has lessened his efforts at keeping and appreciating you and has set his sites on something more "in the moment". Why bring more attention to you, his companion, when he doesn't have to. May turn the other women off.

Some people really aren't into the whole facebook thing - they'll have one they'll check once in a blue moon, but don't spend the insane amount of time others (for example, me) spend on it. Additionally, he may be uncomfortable using such a public space to carry on a relationship. I know if I had a boyfriend right now, I'd feel weird even publicly acknowledging it on my profile because people can comment, and everyone on my friends list would be notified...maybe if I got married I'd consider changing my relationship status =) As long as he's alright when he's with you, then why worry?

This is a legitimate question (to me, at least). Sometimes it's nice to have that little piece of PDA on your Facebook Wall, damnit. To be honest, though, sometimes guys just don't know what to write! It's OK to say "I love you squooshy, wooshy-face" in person, but it loses its effect in writing (oh and it's downright embarrassing)

This actually bothered me with my boyfriend. I asked him in a joking teasing way why he doesn't post anything on my page or comment me back when he does so for other people. He basically said it's because he talks to me all the time and barely sees these other people. Social networking sites for him is just a way to keep in touch with people he barely talks to. Plus, he'd rather tell me what he wanted to say in person than on a social networking site. the way he explained it is true. It's better to have a boyfriend who is there for you personally than be superificial on a social site. As long as he's completely there for you and cares for you in the relationship and shows it, then it shouldn't be that big of a deal.

so when your dating and the girl is freinds with everyone in his family and friends but he is friends with a couple of hers, does this mean the relationship with her and him are really good. id love some insight on that one....

Seriously, enough with the Facebook PDAs, people! Isn't it good enough that you exchange sweet nothings with your lover in private? Is it only legitimate if 400 of your closest friends are witness to it?
For god's sake, spare us.

to be honest I get annoyed at people who have full blown PDAs on facebook, it is as if they are insecure about their relationship and feels the need to always be on show. My bf and I hardly ever post msg on facebook simply because we talk enough in real life already and if I needed to post a msg I just phone or sms him..so don't worry about him not posting msg on facebook :D

Lol! Are you human?

Look you and your boyfriend already have an image about yourselves regardless. As everybody does. That image comes in between yourself and your loved ones psychologically. That image is the past, and must project a future which both are illusory, stay with me here... You are now responsible for the image you have created about yourself. You have no perception at all just an ideal way of life. Which will never be whole or be reached because it's not real. The idea of becoming a doctor is not an image, you have an affirmation which is a directed will in the field of knowledge, then that goal absolutely can be reached. But we are speaking psychologically, inwardly, objectively! Now with your 3rd rate mind constantly comparing, imagining, projecting you come on face-book. Which is an image of your image. WHat does that mean? It means you are responsible for your image you have created. You said your BF doesn't write on your face-book enough right? Is not active let's say, He's on but he is not actively worshiping himself and others right? I say who the fuck is face-book compared to him? How can an image be more important than a human? It sounds complex I know. Ok perhaps his intelligence is much greater and he sees the net for someting it actually is. Suppose! Would that allow him to constantly chew your image and his? No he can't it's not up to him. Because he is intelligent, he is sensitive, so his actions does not allow him. Or maybe your ignorance doesn't allow you to perceive something for a second!? So login your Face-book now please do this. Look at your images, look at your friends images, read about yourself. Is that who you are? The way you live your daily life, the way you conduct yourself? your voice, the beauty in the language you use? your total behavior, your sorrows, your agony's, your joys, your longings? Your anxiety's, your fears, The feeling of love? ecstasy? the delight of life!? LIFE IS NOT FACE-BOOK!. Because you don't realize any of this which I speak of you actually start to believe you are that person! That person you have created is you! Lol You are absolutely worshiping yourself. Face-book is your god admit that first! Then I don't think you would ask this rather childish, disgusting and bizzare question. "My boyfriend doesn't write on my imaginary wall enough am I a human being? lol" You are changing everyday how can you possibly have an information tab? Your favorite movie might be sponge-bob right? Well tomorrow it can be kangaroo jack! You have statically inputted information on (WHO YOU ARE) A human being is never the same. You can never know anybody because they are living! Life is not static! A living thing you can never know it's moving, and it's never the same. You can only watch life, watch a living thing. But you have already decided who he is, who iam, who this god writing this comment is...lol So instead of actually, gently, adequately, hesitantly with humility, dignity, and beauty. Just to communicate for 15 minutes with one another, brings more clarity than infinite time on face-book. You will realize this maybe someday, that you are the image and the image is you! Once you grasp that you no longer act according to the image! That is the main action of responsibility. Not through your bullshit face-book image!! But actually! Suppose you delete your face-book. Then start to miss family and friends. What do you do? Then you would have to find out by inquiring with them!!!!!! By communicating as a human being with them. The moment you say on face-book "I LOVE YOU HONEY" "He/She is mine forever" It's that mine that has created that image in the first place. It's the mine that has destroyed communication and understanding. If you don't change from the inside the inner, then face-book and all those other sites that prevent you from soaking knowledge will change you from the outside! So just think of it as a way to actually end relationships! I assure you it's truth. If your brain is on the lower end of the spectrum you will do exactly what I said and dismiss what I said. "If that which does not bring me closer to a truth, must inevitably divide me away from a truth" That division is subtle, cunning, you won't see it because your egoic minds are very small and reduced while thinking it's big. You have abstracted from reality, then moved into a cluster fuck of thoughts, ideas, ideals, fantasy, imagination as a human being you actually asked that question face it. Then ask why doesn't my BF have a lower egoic mind like me? Or am I just looking to shallow into it? Because you are no different from face-book. You are one with face-book so you must be divided from he which denies that rubbish unknowingly. If two people that are 2nd hand, 3rd rate, like the thread starter above meet and fall in love. One hates face-book one doesn't suppose. Or both love it. Would you believe me if I said unconsciously and consciously, you both have an image about each other through face-book? No you wouldn't believe that now would you? It's not just face-book!!!!!!!! Sounds scary and stupid doesn't it? It is! You are scary and stupid! It's written in the cards! You are your image you have created and that image is an ILLUSION IT HAS NO REALITY!!! Wake up see! or keep waking up, waking up, waking up, waking up, waking up.......

Do you see him alot? Do you talk on the phone frequently? Do you live together even? My husband never posts on my facebook page because if he has something to say to me he will say it TO me. We don't need to publicize our relationship on Facebook. I know we are married and you are bf and gf but as long as when he is fb with others he is being respectful to you. By that I mean, not flirting with other girls or when he talks about you to his friends it's always positive or neutral...like "my gf and I are going to see a movie tonight". Or "I'm such a lucky guy, my gf is so good to me'. He has you as his gf on his status, that is excellent. Keep the conversations between you two on an intimate level and don't worry about posting to each other on fb. I think of fb as a place that you just talk to those friends or relatives that you can't see on a daily basis. I don't even post on my friend's walls if I see them regularly. I might put out my status on my wall about my kids or something in our lives and people (my friends or family) will comment and I will respond but other than that I talk to them by phone or in person. So I would say as long as there is a regularity to your communication in person, don't worry about no posts on facebook. He wants to talk to your beautiful face or at least hear your voice on the phone.
