There’s almost a feeling nowadays that if you don’t post about your relationship on social media,that it isn’t real.Take the phrase“Facebook official”for example. But here’s something Marky Zuckerburg probably doesn’t want you to know.It's completely okay to keep your love life offline. In fact, experts say there’s plenty of benefits of doing just that.
- It Helps You Stay In The Moment."The time spent posting on social media is time taken away from face-to-face contact with [your] partner," says clinical psychologistDr. Carla Marie Manly. Basically, if you’re constantly posting, and sitting on your phone, you’re losing connection with your partner.And that’s not going to end well.
- Increases A Sense Of Authenticity.Do more things out of love instead of‘doing it for the gram.’It’s great that you set up some romantic scavenger hunt for your boo,but why not keep that between you?Keep it feeling real, and not like you did them for likes. Dating expert Jonathan Bennett believes that by keeping your relationship off of social media “you’re removing this pressure to 'keep up appearances.'''
- You'll Have More Fun.Going Facebook free with your bae "allows you to live in the moment and not be focused on making sure everything you do is perfect enough to share with others," says Bennett. Instead of worrying about your parents would think about you guys making out in a pic,just make out without the camera,and live judgment free!
- It Removes Comparison. Isn’t it exhausting trying to keep up with everyone else’s lovey-dovey posts all the time?Like seriously, are you guys paying for photoshoots every month? How do some couples look so good all the time?Instead of worrying about your boo’s birthday photo collage outdoing your friends, you can just skip it all entirely, and love them in your own way.
