It's possible she is hiding you, but posting on social media isn't the smoking gun. I had a girlfriend for almost 2 years and when we bumped into an old high school friend of hers, he asked her (in front of me) if I was her boyfriend. She umm...'d, and hesitated before saying yes. If she's hiding you from actual friends, then that's your clue.
However, if all her friends already know she's dating you, then it's a matter of personal privacy. My wife is very strict in controlling what picture she posts, and even though I wanted to post pictures of us from our last 2 vacations, she told me to make them private and accessible only to the two of us. However, I have also adapted this notion of posting almost nothing on social media. There will be no pics of our vacations, children... etc for anyone to see. No information on our personal lives, and no information on our workplace or political views.
In a way, you are overthinking it. You seem to care more about having your social life approved by your random facebook friends or old elementary school acquaintances than maintaining your personal privacy. It's possible she's gotten smart, and realized there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to gain from the online approval of nobodys. Whether they like, dislike, or feel jealous or think your vacation pics are pathetic really makes no difference to your life. However, they are a BIG liability, because anything and everything you post online is available to anyone. I have a program installed on my computer that lets me view the photos of anyone I choose, even if I am not their friends, and have no friends in common. Such a tool - in the hands of someone malicious, can really fuck up your life.
Someone wants to screw you over? I can simply access all your photos, find one of you acting immaturely, passed out drunk, writing penises on people's face, or some other stuff, and simply email it to your employer or your family. Predators can easily download photos you uploaded from your iphone, and the hidden data in the photo contains the GPS coordinates the pic was taken. So they can pinpoint it to your bedroom if they want, and god help you if you have children.
There's little to gain from advertising your personal life to the world. She may just be protecting herself.21 Reply- +1 y
younger people are usually more carefree about this social media crap and their young.
in my opinion he should not bring it up to her, but proceed very carefully. Years ago I was dating a girl who posted lots of crap I didn't like and I just ignored. Turns out she really had no interest. She left me for another guy with no warning.

not everyone catches the "is in a relationship now" post but if her profile pic is her + you in it... people will want to know more.36 Reply

Personally speaking: I'm more private when it comes to those things, with my ex i'd probably post 1-2 pictures a year and that's because she logged onto my account and posted them herself.
Yea she may have done it in the past but things change and people change. I can understand though why it may raise concern to my significant other.
If my girlfriend wanted more pics, i wouldn't be objected to it so i'd consciously try to post pics of us for her... however if it's not brought up.. you probably wouldn't see anything from me.
Asker+1 yI have brought up on several occassions to her that it bothers me but all she does is apologize. Whenever we take pictures together she makes the excuse oh I look ugly and deletes it.

If i were you, i'd sit down with her and tell her:
"listen i wanted to talk to you about you not posting pictures of us on your facebook. I know i'm letting it go so i'm going to try to explain it more thoroughly. Imagine if i introduced you to my friends and family as my "buddy" instead of my "girlfriend." How would that make you feel? It seems simple enough but it feels like i'm ashamed or unsure of this relationship right?
This is how i feel when you aren't posting pictures of us, it makes me feel not important or that you aren't confident you want to be with me.
Now this might not be the case but your actions speak otherwise given i have yet to get an answer from you that can satisfy my feelings. I've only gotten excuses and apologizes.
With that said, what is that holds you back... I need you to dig deep here and be honest with me"
This is what i'd say, and if she chooses not to answer again: "okay, it seems you need some time.. i'm gonna give you space to figure this out"

+1 yTwo important factors to take into consideration here a) How long have you been together and b) Realistically, how often does she take pictures in general? It could be that she just doesn't feel the need to take all these pictures anymore and display them on social media. If I compare the amount of photos I post now versus 2 years ago with my previous ex then it becomes clear I just in general post a whole lot less. It has nothing to do with my current boyfriend whom I love. I just don't feel the need or desire to document everything on social media anymore. Also with my last relationship, it was all very public and when we broke up, it actually just made things worse that we were that public. I enjoy keeping some things a bit more private.
However with all this said, you are perfectly allowed to want certain things in a relationship and if to you it is important and will be cute or loving, then there is nothing wrong with asking her to give you a bit more attention on social media. We all have our own needs and quirks and it is OK to feel this way. If she is a understanding girlfriend, she should be willing to do this for you. It is not asking too much and it should feel good to show you off a little ;)61 Reply- +1 y
I agree with this. This could be a scenario. She's shared a lot of pictures, private life on social media with her exes. and then it didn't work out, and it got embarrassing.
She'd probably wait a bit longer till it gets serious.
I find this relatively normal nowadays that girls in relationships don't post pics of their boy friends that often. If its serious and its been at least a year, I'd find it odd she didn't post pics.. But I dunno.. I think its mostly from past experiences and maybe hiding it from friends/family because she could feel ashamed.. Not necessairly something crazy like dating with two guys behind their backs.
+1 yI'm sorry but why do you feel the need to flaunt your relationship all over facebook? Honestly do you not realize how annoying that is? It's on par with people that post pictures of their babies. Stop it. Stop it.
Do you ever stop to realize that the exes she posted heaps of pictures of wound up becoming her exes? That being different to her exes might be a good thing?
Why do your friends even care? Why do they want to keep tabs on everything you two do? It's Facebook it's not important in any way shape or form.
I get if you feel unappreciated in your relationship, that can happen especially for the guys because typically girls don't bring you flowers just cause they felt like it. But you need to address that actual issue with her and stop with the stupid Facebook complaints.
It's facebook no-one actually cares about what you are doing with your life unless they are stalking you.261 Reply- +1 y
Difference between baby pics and relationship pics is you know itll probably be at least 18 years before there's a breakup in that relationship XD (assuming good parenting lol)

If she hides pictures of you then she is ashamed, something is wrong, or she has an abuse ex boyfriend. I would say the forner is most likely. She is ashsmed or emberrassed about dating you.
Unlike what many of these people say... to have your relationship publically validated shows respect toward you and your relationship. To conceal your relationship invites a public representation of being single to suitable bachelors. They may not date on Facebook but everyone knows people interested in us will look at our Facebook.
I dated a girl for 3 months who listed she was "seeing someone " on our dating profile in the website we met but "single" on Facebook. She only posted one picture of us together. Both of us introduced one another to friends. But after she dumped me 2 days ago... I admitted the public validation did hurt ny feelings.
There is nothing wrong about feeling hurt when your relationship isn't publically v as validated. You are human are deserve that feeling of joy that someone admires you. Dont listen to what these people say.
Women know each others' games and will defend their secrets at all cost. The truth is that most women line up a group of back benchers to date when a relationship fails. They want the goodies of dating under wraps while in the same breath appealing to men who are richer, have higher status, etc. The women saying its no big deal are the very women engaging in this monkey branching from one guy to the next. They dont want you to be enlightened to know that we as men are in to their games.
Ask her point blank why she doesn't post pics. Watch her squirm. Watch her lie and say she forgot or itd no big deal or privacy etc. Bullshit. Women are always entertaining new eligible suitors. Even in marriage.
Think about it. If she really is in love with you, thinks you're a great guy, thinks youd be a great father to her children. Etc. Would she really think to keep you a secret? If you were prince harry or brad Pitt? No. there's something wrong here.50 Reply1.3K opinions shared on Relationships topic. It's Simple Here, dear, She may Want you Near But not on her FB to Explain to Anyone, hun, You.

+1 yI would find that suspicious as well, especially since she does have pictures of her exes up and regularly posts her own. I don't think a ton of relationship pictures are needed in order to make a statement, but some are clearly in order.
For all the people complaining about not putting one's relationship all over the net, well. That's part of socializing nowadays. You can't get around it. At least some acknowledgement should be given to your significant other unless there are extenuating reasons why it is not wise to post any of your private life (i. e. you're a celeb). With most people, that's not the case and posting an every once in a while picture of/with your SO is reasonable. Public acknowledgement can solidify a relationship and make one's commitment stronger because of the support you will get from others who see you as a couple rather than single entities. So in a way, seeing those pictures will give other people a chance to root for you. Her saying she will lose followers if she posts you sounds extremely shallow and self-centered. I would lose her if I were you.20 ReplyThis could depend on circumstances. When I first friended my boyfriend on Facebook, I noticed he had a few old pictures with his ex-girlfriend on there. But he got off social media before we really got serious because he had enough of it. Whilst I know he posted pictures of him and his ex, I also know he was a completely different person back then. One who liked social media, whereas now he doesn't. Also, I actually feel a lot more serious to him because actually I'm not just a girlfriend to show off or flaunt on social media. He cares less about that but more about spending actual time with me.
In your case, it may be that your girlfriend just doesn't want her personal life all over social media like she used to. Even if my boyfriend still had Facebook I don't know if I'd be posting every aspect of it all the time. I also see my page as MY page not OUR page so maybe she doesn't see it as a platform for relationship stuff anymore. It is possible that she doesn't add pictures with you in due to likes - unfortunately a lot of people actually care about those likes and a lot of guys won't like a picture of a girl they find attractive with another dude in the picture. So yes she might be avoiding it for that reason. But if she is that doesn't mean she doesn't love you or care about you - she could just be someone who thinks a lot of getting those likes/social media obsessed, because sadly that's the world we live in.00 Reply
+1 yWhat's your point? Lol. I am actually the same way as your girlfriend and I tell my girlfriend not to post me on social media either. Hell... even on all my social media pages, I am listed as single. But, then again, I am never really on social media.
The world doesn't need to know how much your girlfriend loves you or how much you love your girlfriend. The world does not need to know your relationship status. The world does not need to know about your business with your girlfriend. That's between you too.
I don't post my relationship on social media, because the world doesn't need to know. What I have with my girlfriend is special and posting pictures isn't going to improve our relationship. Also... social media is very judgmental these days. What's the point?
And the reason your girlfriend doesn't post anything about you on social media is probably because she had bad experiences in the past. For example, my girlfriend told me she used to post everything about her past relationships online, and when they failed, she would have to take down everything or she would feel embarrassed or people would get into her business, so she decided to keep things to herself.
I feel that it is sad that we are at the point with technology where if you don't post pictures on social media, it is not looked at as normal. Who cares about the "new normal"? People don't need to know your business.00 Reply1.7K opinions shared on Relationships topic. Yeah, get over it. Not everything needs to be shown to everyone on FB, not even relationships. If she was truly hiding you, she wouldn't have accepted your relationship request, and she wouldn't want to be seen with you in public. Some people are just more private than others and don't feel the need to share everything on FB. Don't compare your relationship to your friends' relationships. I honestly find it to be really awkward when people on FB gush about their SO, it's such a weird thing to do and even more awkward when they break up.

Honestly I feel like, the more people gush on fb about their so called "perfect relationship", the more it seems like they're trying too hard to hide their flaws. Like they want to make everyone believe that everything is a-ok, but behind closed doors there's a shitstorm going on in their relationship. The more you have to prove yourself to others, the more fake you are. If you're confident in yourself and your relationship, you won't feel like you have to flaunt it to get other people's approval.
+1 yI'm not one to post anything much on social media, let alone my personal life. I keep things between me and the person. I don't like posting any photos and don't need to flaunt my relationship. I think Facebook relationships are useless and would do it if it meant that much to my partner but would think it was weird. When I was younger I posted photos on instagram with my exes but now, I don't feel the need to show them off or my relationship. It doesn't mean she's ashamed of you, she probably just changed and doesn't like posting about her private life. The relationship is between you and her not 200 people on Facebook. :) Don't let it get to you.
30 ReplyYeah I think that's kinda messed up that she has posted pics of her exes and not any of you.
talk to her about it. It could be that she had issues in the past with social media undermining her relationships and now she stays away from it. But it's also true that if someone isn't saying anything about their significant other on social media, it means that they're not the only one. I like to think of social media as being a public place -because it is. It's like going to a local art festival and holding hands with your girlfriend so that everyone who walks by can see that you're in a relationship. Not posting anything about your SO on social media is like going to that same festival and walking 10 ft away from your SO.
It' one or the other -she's either hiding you/ashamed of you, or, because of past experiences, she chooses not to bring relationships onto social media.
IMHO, the latter is really not that great of an excuse if she's not ashamed/hiding you otherwise.20 Reply1.7K opinions shared on Relationships topic. Bro, a woman could tell you she loves you 20 times per day while at the same time plotting to leave you. She's most likely talking to some guy online who doesn't know you exist or she is hoping to find a guy better than you she can upgrade to. If a woman really takes you seriously she will mention you, not hide you & she will also be careful not to do things that make you question where the relationship is at.
You don't have to accept her rules. You can make your own boundaries/requirements & if she doesn't like it then bail! You're not married & trust me there's other women out there. Don't go acting like life is all about what she wants.
00 Reply1.1K opinions shared on Relationships topic. tbh, this is not a good sign. not even bc she doesn't love you or something but maybe because she's really hurt and is now cautious. i post things a lot of an ex, people could see our relationship blossom. and then it died and there was nothing new, except a black space where his name use to be.
got in a new relationship-never ever posted a picture of us, not in an entire year. 1) I felt like a fool but also lowkey 2) he just wasn't the one for me. don't go by my experience bc she is unique and this is complicated but it's one of those two things.00 Reply
+1 yWow. You feeling wanted and important to her should def be more important than how many likes she gets. That stuff is literally meaningless. Who cares how many people tap a button on their phone. When you're excited to be with someone you shouldn't care less what anybody else thinks. The fact that it hurts you should matter more than how many sleazy guys like her photos. I'm sure she's not ashamed of you so much as it is that she has placed some kind of sad importance on social media that is dictating what parts of her life she shows to others. There's nothing wrong with you. I'd be a little worried that she's doing something disloyal and that's why she doesn't want to share your relationship with others. All in all though, if you guys are truly happy and in love it doesn't matter if she posts stuff about it or not. Even if she pretended to be single online, simply because social media isn't as real as it may seem.

+1 y“I believe she likes attention, she gets around 170 likes from a bunch of guys but when she posts me she gets around 80 and complains about her losing followers. She has posted two pictures of us about 4 months ago. She deleted one of them”
This sums it up. All the likes she gets temporarily feeds her ego and helps her feel desirable. It can be quite addictive. If she posts any photos with both of you, people will get jealous. That’s basically a reality check for guys; they don’t have a chance with her because you are with her. Hence she gets less likes and loses some followers.
I personally think this is immature and unhealthy. I can understand if she is a model and trying to promote herself but this is not the case.00 Reply
+1 yweeeeeell... i wouldn't know if she's ashamed of you without bluntly asking her about it. the only thing you can do right now is respect her wishes not to post up things she doesn't want to on her feed. its awkward, yeah, but its still a right she has. if it is really that much of a bummer, dont nag about it, but let her know how much it really makes you jealous they can do it, and you can't. some people do get them feels from showing everybody their relationships... others dont. maybe she has a good reason not to post it? you won't know until youve asked.
00 ReplyWhile it's true that some people are lazier about FB than others, that is no excuse to get all huffy about protecting one's privacy and accuse the other party of being insufficiently trusting--especially not when there are clear signs of a double standard at work, as her "ex" photos illustrate. Trust is built on a willingness to earn it. Those who try to shame others out of seeking transparency do so out of selfishness. It may be socially inconvenient to post pictures, but that's precisely why she needs to be willing to do it. The chief inconvenience here would be that it makes dissembling and deception difficult. Love is not convenient, and there is no room in a loyal soul for guarded secrets between SOs. Be fair about it (don't ask her for anything you wouldn't offer her yourself), but you don't have to be ashamed of your need for everything to make sense.

I saw someone say tag her in one, but if you keep talking to her about it she might think you're being insecure. Does her Facebook know about you,?

+1 yI’m sorry you feel this way. Honestly your feelings are valid. But have you been together a long time? And does she identify you as her boyfriend to like her family and close friends? I understand wanting to be in a little bubble of just you two and not wanting other people’s opinions infiltrating your relationship. BUT, if you really like/ love someone you wouldn’t be afraid of eventually saying this is my boyfriend/ girlfriend. Remember you are not committed right now to anything - personally if I was in your situation go with your gut- you honestly probably know the answer and just want opinions to say options and perspective.
00 ReplyI didn't post often of my girlfriend and I on Facebook, but she would post us all the time. She was always very proud of me and wanted to share it with family. While I did very seldom with her and only with big moments. Her interpretation was that I was ashamed or not really into our relationship, not true at all. I never post on there that often. It's so easy to get information of there and it terrifies me that if someone would want to do me harm would do it against someone I love.

Asker+1 yBecause it is abnormal in my age group. Needless to say she has done it before, and every other person I have known does this including the ones who are on and off jumping from guy to guy. It is not very difficult to take 5 mins to post a pictures.
On instagram? Some people don't like to expose personal relationship info. It doesn't mean she's ashamed but maybe she doesn't want to put it on a stage you know. Also, she probably gets a lot of likes from other guys who might think she's single. Maybe she doesn't want people to lose interest in her.
I agree it's a bit strange this day in age to not post anything and I've brought this up to my boyfriend too. People who are genuinely happy together tend to post pictures together "establishing" the relationship.
Maybe she doesn't like the pictures you take together.
How long have you been together? I was hesitant about posting pictures with my boyfriend because we weren't dating that long and I didn't want to post pictures and then if we break up, post pictures with someone else. It just doesn't look good. So maybe give it some more time?

She must be a private person which is a good thing, she doesn't need other peoples approval.
00 ReplySounds like she falls into the group of approval/attention seeking social media addicts. She knows that the attention she gets is based solely on being female and giving the illusion that she is available. While it isn't necesarry to post a relationship on social media if it is important to you, don't you think how you feel should be a priority or at least warrant a discussion? If it isn't being used for business a simple couples photo isn't much to expect. Have an open conversation about it. Do you really want to spend your time/life with someone who values likes over you or your relationship?
00 ReplyIf I ever decide to be with someone, I would not be screaming his name and our love from the treetops. In fact, I probably wouldn't even update a relationship status online. And none of that has anything to do with the amount that I feel affection for him, or supposedly being "embarrassed" of him. My personality type is very private, and I would hope that he could respect that. Unless we were to marry, I don't think I would even want my family introduced.

If there's too much of a disconnect between you two, then break up or find some leverage so you both compromise to make each other happy.00 ReplyThe issue isn't that she won't post your relationship; it is that she has posted past relationships but not yours. It is, sadly, a mystery you can only work out with her.
If everything else in the relationship is good, evaluate how important this issue really is. Is it worth risking it? If it really truly bothers you, just try to be sensitive to her feelings and patient. Let her know it isn't a deal breaker (is it?) if she doesn't post, you just need to know.00 Reply
+1 yI agree, And It's not flaunting. Social media was literally made for things like that friends, family, connecting and sharing moments. Sure if it was every day I could see it being an issue but an occasional photo is not a big deal but I have a friend who's like that she's never interested in taking any photos unless it's all on her terms and conditions like if I go in for a photo as group or whatever she will literally No!! No photos!! And like storm our of the way lol it's kinda annoying.
01 ReplyIt's a total red flag. You need to make her her understand that it amkes you feel bad. Either she is being oblivious or it's on purpose. All I know is that when I'm with someone I hype them up. So the question is, why isn't she hyping you?
20 Reply301 opinions shared on Relationships topic. I'm the same. Some people are just private and don't like flaunting their relationship. Or she thinks she looks bad next to you in photos.
Also people who post lovely dovey stuff about are happy they are is annoying asf.21 Reply
Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yMaybe.
My ex definitely didn't post any pictures of us while she was cheating and messaging other men she would meet on Facebook.
She didn't even say she was married.
I'm not saying she's cheating for sure, but her single looking facebook profile could be little red flag to remember.
Good luck

Anonymous(25-29)+1 yTbh, some people just don’t want everyone to know their business, and it seems like whenever social media becomes involved in a relationship it causes trouble. If she say she love you, and you believe it what’s the problem? People post their relationships up all the time and 9 times out of ten most of them cheating or got cheated on. Don’t let these social media couples fool you.
00 ReplyAhh, is actually strange if you have years together. Two, to five pics don't do anything, why not share with others your relationship status?
Let's go back in time, when social medias didn't exist. If you found out your girlfriend or SO didn't have any pictures of both, how would that make you feel? Knowing that you both took pictures together. What I am trying to say is, depending on how serious and how long is the relationship, it can mean nothing or it mean something.00 Reply
+1 yAt first I was gonna say, she's just doesn't like to flaunt everything, I'm the same way.
But then I read I that she's done it with her exes, so I'm not sure. Why don't you ask her?42 Reply
Asker+1 yI've brought up how it bothers me to her on several occassions, all I get is an apology.
- +1 y
Did you ask her why she does that?
+1 yIt does seem strange considering she's posted pics of her exes. Ask her outright why she never posts any pics of you.
Have you met her friends and family?20 ReplyMaybe it's because nagging her is not a really postable event. And if she likes likes it's not really good for the likes if you post a /w my boyfriend picture. Because guys like girls that look single. You can post pictures with her if your want people to knOW you are together. But get over yourself. Damn you are with her who cares about what others think

+1 yWomen who post their men on their social media are weird. I once did on BBM when it was a thing and took it down because I loved him and some bitch asked who that is and kept her nose in my business. I only post my cat on my page.
00 ReplyIf she's one of those girls who likes to get lots of likes she probably likes the attention as well. She's less likely to get attention from people interested in her if her status says "in a relationship".
10 Replyumm... is she cheating on you?
cause usually guys are not too keen on doing that... but girls love to put pics with their bfs12 Reply
Asker+1 yI don't know but every single other couple around my age (19) posts pictures of their significant other at least once a week. I'm not asking for once a week, but the last photo and only photo was 4 months ago..

+1 yI mean, she could wait to see if it's serious before telling everyone about it if you aren't together for a long time. I would do the same as I must feel comfortable and stable before being fine with anyone knowing.

+1 yI think she might have another guy in her mind so she doesn't want to risk it. . that would be the only reason I would try to keep it a secret if I had a boyfriend but if I were also into someone else at the same time.

+1 yHm maybe dude, if I had a boyfriend I'd be screaming that shit from the rooftops. Youd see me and him on social media 24/7. I don't know ask her, she may have another reason.
00 Reply
+1 yThat’s the real reason... she likes the daily validation train of emoji flattery, and having a boyfriend would spoil the illusion of accessibility for her adoring, fawning orbiters.
00 ReplySo your girlfriend is among the dateable. Congrats. you're not dating a little girl. you're not dating someone who needs to read "aww" or "congrats" or "cute" to make herself feel like you're suitable. I guess this is something I'd have to now ask early... "Where you from? Do you post everything online?"

+1 yThe guys that follow her wanna see her tits not you. If anything you being there makes them disinterested because it cuts out all possibilty of them getting in her panties.

Anonymous(30-35)+1 ymost girls are about flaunting
so yes be careful
if anything
you want my honest opinion
break up with her
im not saying they have to flaunt all the time
but they usually like to let people know with a few pictures
and that's it
men usually care less about showing off
women on the other hand,,,,,,,,
should be pretty obvious just by instagram and pornhub alone00 Reply- Show More (66)
