"We all know Social Media is way more fun when you can post photos or videos of that special someone you enjoy spending time with" (van Bastelaer). However, it can also be dangerous if not used properly.
In "5 Social Media Sins That Will Ruin Your Relationship" by Sophie van Bastelaer, Sophie introduces the 5 most common mistakes social media users make when they are seeing someone. These are things like "Over-sharing about your relationship" or "Actively keeping in touch with your Ex". These are the types of things that break girls hearts and end relationships. There is a picture of an E-card in this article that says "It's a status, not your Diary." I personally agree with that statement because there are too many girls who are always either complaining or consistently talking about their boyfriends. Sometimes that is the main topic in my newsfeed when I go on Facebook and I find it annoying and disgusting. For example, the other day when I was on Facebook scrolling through my newsfeed there was this girl who kept saying how she loved her boyfriend so much and how he will be her best friend always and I kept thinking to myself, ' why does she feel the need to post that for others to see? No one really cares what you have to say about your boyfriend!' Girls should watch what they decide to post about their boyfriends and why they want to post it because you never know what others are going to think/say about it. So, don't be too social on Social Media. Van Bastelaer, Sophie. "5 Social Media Sins That Will Ruin Your Relationship." Her Campus. N.p., 09 Apr. 2015. Web. 13 Apr. 2015.

"Social media is both a blessing and a curse in this day and age." (Samuels) It can help us get in contact with others and it has an interesting effect on relationships. Getting the Male Perspective: Social Media and relationships by Alexandra Samuels talks about Facebook, twitter, etc. and how guys think they affect romance.
Alexandra asked a select group of men a series of questions. For example, one of the questions was "Would you snoop on your significant other's Facebook/Twitter account?" Adam Williams, sophomore at UT Austin responded, "No, I would not snoop on my significant other's social media account/information as i would trust them not to be doing something they shouldn't be doing." Men who are in relationships expect their significant other's not to be doing something stupid, but I bet you there have been situations where girls have posted something that ended up effecting their relationship with a guy. People should be very careful with Social Media because you never know what you/others might see. Samuels, Alexandra. "Getting the Male Perspective: Social Media and Relationships."
