Relationship Status: It's Complicated


Is it just me, or does Facebook make girls crazier than they already are? Yes, that's right, I said it. Go ahead and hate me, but you know it's true. The social networking device can either make or break a relationship.

Time and time again, you'll ask your guy what he's doing tonight. He'll say "Oh, nothing" and then later on, he'll be checked in at a bar with ten other people. The next morning, scandalous photos will surface and you'll be left wondering "Who the F is that bitch with her arm around him!?" Even if you're not looking at his page, these kinds of things just pop up in your news feed whether you like it or not.

Yes, Facebook has taken stalking to a whole new level. In high school, my girlfriends would always drag me past their boyfriends house to see if the lights are on, if his car is there, if you can see him through the window. Ever since Facebook, there's no longer a need to do these things. Instead, you could just look at your guys' page as many times as you want to see what he's up to. And the best part is, he'll never know about it!

Take me for example. I'm the least craziest chick you'll ever meet. I'm so cool, that guys even think I'm cool and because of it, they don't even want to date me, which I'm guessing is the reason why I've been single since 2006. But that's a whole other topic. Where were we? Oh yeah, Facebook stalking.

Being someone who isn't a stalker what so ever, Facebook has since turned me into one! A few months ago I was dating someone and it was Facebook that pretty much ruined our relationship. Or, perhaps it helped me realize that there wasn't one to begin with. While I'm chatting with friends and looking on my news feed, I couldn't help but see his updates. Who is that girl commenting on all of his posts? Why did he say he was home and now he's at a bar with a bunch of people, including the girl who keeps commenting on his pics? Why is his ex suddenly liking all of his updates? And why do I suddenly feel like I'm Gossip Girl?

As it turned out, this chick turned out to be his new love interest after we broke up. So, I guess the fact that I noticed it first hand via Facebook only helped me realize that this wasn't exactly going anywhere.

But is it better to not know these things and keep some stuff left to the imagination, or does Facebook actually help us when it comes to relationships?

Facebook by its use and popularity can be helpful but at the same time it can ruin some person's life. Everything has good and bad sides, it only depends on the person how he use social networking sites.
