Dear Amy: What do people these days do about social media when they’re dating, but not settled?
Thank you for supporting our journalism. This article is available exclusively for our subscribers, who help fund our work at the Chicago Tribune.After my divorce, I dated someone with no social media, so it was easy.After that ended, I met someone through a friend. He immediately suggested that we connect on Facebook.
Many people actually “meet” on social media, but they’re in another category, because they already know and are attracted to the other person’s style of sharing. Facebook is like that. When you connect on social media with someone you’re dating, you become tangentially connected with everyone they’re dating.For you, I think it’s wisest to use social media the way all the millennials I know do: Lock it down. Be extremely judicious about what you post and private about your sharing circles.Mute or hide his posts, and if you want, you can check him out during periods when you’re curious or in the mood .
