My girlfriend refuses to make me her profile picture on any social network. Is this normal or should I worry?

[TageNiso]

I make her my profile most of the time and state on my status she is my one and only. When i ask to do the same she freaks out and we end up fighting. Instead she prefers to put Jay Z or Drake as her profile picture. She says she don't want us to rush things. I mean we have been in a relationship for 4 months. Is asking her to make me her profile picture tomuch to ask as her boyfriend? She even goes on and says making me her profile picture would be childish Should i be worried or is it normal for girls to react this way?

What's normal to you, may not be normal for someone else. You're in a relationship, it's great you want to let the whole world know, but maybe she would still like some part of her social media, to be hers! Because that's what it is, its hers, she doesn't have to put anything up she doesn't feel like she has to, the fact that you have done that you're expecting her to do the same, not everyone is going to see eye to eye with you. Instead what's the real reason you want her to? To make it known to everyone that she is taken? she's yours already! The only one that should be involved with your relatioship are you and her, social media isn't real life, the internet "isn't real life". Its not "too much" to ask for, but if she doesn't want to you can't talk someone into it.

While I do go on social media quite a bit, I try not to go public with the private. In all honesty I believe the less people know about my private life, the better; I hate airing my laundry dirty or clean. Lol that being said, if she never ever wants to post even a very casual "hang-out" picture, I'd tell her that it makes me feel uncomfortable

Thanks that helps a lot

It is normal just not for all girls.
Some girls win't mind others will just not like it.
Had a bf who didn't like to have everyone know what he was doing that being not placing my picture everywhere.
However keep in mind you have been dating for only 4 months so she really might not want to go so fast.

[TageNiso]

Well i guess i better not rush her. So tell me when your boyfriend didn't want to make you his profile picture. Didn't that make you feel like you were being his secret love?

[Crushcrush29]

I deffinitely felt like he was hiding something and was ashamef of me or something but eventually I learned that he was just not comfortable with having everyone know out business specially cause a lot of people are just there to cause trouble and watch the show.

I personally got into the Facebook relationships thing. I used to do that stuff when I was a teen, but now I don't even list my status and I could't imagine always having pics with me and my GF. Honestly if a girl was throwing a fit because I could not do anything on Facebook with her, I might think we have different values...

Four months is not that long at all! you do need to give her some space man, she kind of sounds just like me with social media and dating. You might end up losing her, I know I would be questioning things in her shoes...

[TageNiso]

I get your point. I'l think about what you saying. Thanks

[fun-weird-guy]

Why worry when I know a lot of people do not make their significant other their profile pictures.

[TageNiso]

Well i guess there ain't nothing to worry about. Thanks!

[bananatossing]

It's kind of a big deal unfortunately. Social media is unquestionably part of who we are today, how we express ourselves and how others perceive us. If aje is letting you out of that personal ciberneric space then she may not be completely confortable of you. Just imagine if you never knew her friends in person and always she'd out with them alone. I'm not saying she should flood her profile with stuff about you but some acknowledgment is def necessary.

[godfatherfan]

You need to get past that. When I was married my (ex) wife actually unfriended me for almost 2 years. she would bitch about every little thing I posted. so she figured if she didn't see it it wouldn't bother her.
I would not make my gf my profile picture either. I guess maybe if we made it 6 months or a year.. but I stick to me or my kids mostly.

[madhatters4]

I think you are asking too much. it's her social media let her do with it as she pleases. not everyone uses social media for the same thing and clearly she uses it differently than you... now if she doesn't tell people you are her bf or she tries to hide the fact you are together then maybe you have aproblem but the fact that she won't make you her profile pic is a non-issue

[Anonymous]

It took me years before I was comfortable putting my relationship status on Facebook. Forget about profile pictures! Have patience, and understand some people don't want to use social media the same way.

[Findingmyway]

Its her profile.. What you do is your choice.. She doesn't have to make you her profile as long as she doesn't hide your relationship when relevant. I have never made my profile my guy..

[TageNiso]

I get your drift. Thanks!

[bama_girl89]

I wish my boyfriend posted pics of us on his instagram. He told me I better show him off on my profile but I don't cause he doesn't. I don't know why your girl won't do it esp if everyone knows y'all are dating.

[TageNiso]

Well i don't know too. She always says she will make me her profile picture but never does

[Anonymous]

It's something she should want to do, not be talked into.

[TageNiso]

Thank u

[musicbrain5]

That's nothing to worry about. People now are so obsessed with flaunting their relationships over social media that it's nice when somebody actually doesn't do that.

[TageNiso]

Mmm k. Though i find it hard because the social media is were we spend most of our time and get to express our feelings as well

[Anonymous]

you shouldn't worry about most women like to keep things private! if I was dating someone I don't think I would ever have their picture on my profile. it's much better to keep something to your self. I understand that you like to have her pictures as your profile but don't ask her to do the same, let her do as she wishes because if you keep asking her she ends things things you. try to put yourself in her shoes and see where she is coming from.

[Elizabeth21__]

Don't worry too much about it. She just probably doesn't think it's very ok to do that lol

[SecretGalaxy]

Does she refuse to post any pictures of you and her? that is more worrysome. If she doesn't make you her profile picture, no big deal...

[OtakuJ47]

Because its a stupid thing to do and i agree on her not doing it plus You're a guy you have no reason to worry bout things like that.

[jmmmfi]

she doesn't care about you

[TageNiso]

That hurts

[Anonymous]

Worry? No. Her profile, her choice.
