Is ‘Facebook’ good for your love life?
Read on to find the answer!
You don’t want to see your ex-boyfriend when your relationship finishes. And you really don’t
want to know about his new girlfriend. But Facebook tells you everything, including how
happy he is with his new girlfriend.
Your boyfriend doesn’t write on your ‘wall’ one day. You’re worried. Does it mean he doesn’t
like you? Another day, he sends you ten messages. You feel stressed. Does he like you too
much?
Your friends know you have a new boyfriend because you change your status form ‘single’ to
‘in a relationship’. The problem is they know when it’s finished, too, because you change it
back to ‘single’ again.
You get a lot of messages from boys but this isn’t good for your relationship. When your
boyfriend sees you writing to so many other boys, he feels worried. And that can man the
beginning of the end.
