I rarely use social media and probably wouldn't post anything either.
I don't think the world needs to know that we are together and I don't think they care. If I'm with you then I will only care about you and that I'm with you.
Those that are close to me will know that I am with you, the rest I don't give a fuck about.
I also don't like the idea of showing my girlfriend off, for what reason? So other girls or guys will be jealous? Nah that's very silly and I don't think it's the type of girl I would be interested in. I'm however very much down to take pictures together etc and she is free to post them if she wants to but it's not something I'm interested in doing myself.

Owhh thank you simon. But untill when? People always think that i am single. In fact that i was has someone. Whoever he also won't allow me to show too
Well talk with him about it, say you want to meet his friends and his family as his girlfriend. If he doesn't want that then again ask why. Give him room to explain.
If he doesn't give you a good reason then you really need to decide if you want to give him more time to before he commits to you or if you feel like you can't wait then tell him he has to commit or it's over.
I'm not going to tell you what is right or wrong for you to do but if you are unhappy you need to communicate with him first and then make your decisions.
I don't like Jolene to post pictures of herself on social media because she is beautiful and gets unwanted and unwelcome attention, even though she doesn't try to post anything sexy. It's not that I don't want other people to see her it's that I don't want other men to sexualize her.
Jerks, both genders likewise are everywhere, especially on such "social media". That is also why I keep it private who I am with together. And yes, you might find here on GAG some hints about her.
My ex hated and didn't use social media. He agreed to update relationship status on Facebook though, and didn't mind I posted pictures with him publically. My boyfriend before him used Facebook actively but never posted anything about us, he didn't care if I did though. I don't think most guys really do this, anyway why would you even need him to? Social media ain't real life.
I find the whole concept of showing off your wife a bit odd. I'm not a trophy 🏆. This whole "you can look at my girl but you can't touch" thingy is a turn off to me.
'She' (any one of a few in my life, and the same thing happens, with the same type of lady, and my friends!) is not 'MINE' to show off!! What fool thinks that a lady he likes is his 'property' to show off? She ALWAYS has better fashion sense than I, and I trust her, when I am with any, and she wears what she likes, and is comfortable wearing. She knows my friends, and she doesn't need me protecting her, as she knows how to talk to them, when they say inappropriate things to her. She never 'tells' on them, but I know when one has been 'Schooled'. I like a certain kind of lady, and I know I don't need to protect her, and when she shows off, herself, she takes the responsibility with any pervs that hit on her!
I can't understand why there is a need in showing off your new boyfriend or girlfriend. I keep that private for some good reasons, like being bullied/harashed because I took her and [they think] that she doesn't deserve me or I don't deserve her. And so on and so on...
First of all, ALL of social media is a scam in any decent guys' eyes. Second, Facebook especially, is the place where the opposite of real is shown - people who love each other on facebook are usually frenemies in real life. Third, why would you ever 'show-off' your gf? And fourth - you want something from him, don't you, after a divorce - so you first want to be shown off so that you have the leverage afterwards.
I'm together with my girlfriend for almost 4 years now, and none of us bothered to update our relationship status on social media. We also don't post pictures of ourselves (or anything else, just for the record).
We updated it on #okcupid and guess what? A guy contacted her how she is able to see me while we are so distant... Well, that is what #Linphone is for. ;-) And besides, she blocked him.
It may have nothing at all to do with you. He may just be a private person. A lot of guys are this way, and too many women are quick to spill their guts to the world. Posts like you mention often do nothing but invite unwanted questions and prying from friends and family. I'm totally this way. I hate being grilled, even by (especially by) well-meaning family. My business is NO ONE else's business. I intend to keep it that way.
It's most likely that he simply doesn't want "show you off" as there's no reason too. If he wants people to know he has a girlfriend, he'll tell them. Otherwise, people will find out by just running into the two of you. He probably thinks that by "showing you off", he's treating you like an object.
I dont need validation from random people or people i hardly talk to anymore. Only people that need to know i have a girlfriend are people i care about in my life and ill tell those people myself
If you aren't that into him then leave. If this guy isn't benefiting you in any way and you question why you are wasting your time. Then I would end it.
What the hell? Like is he suppose to worship you? Post pictures with comment "my life would be empty without this angel"?
News flash girl. All the people who do this, their relationships are disasters. They need approval from outside, because they can't get approval from within.
@Asker Why do you connect these two things? If your local friends know you already, then why do you still insist (against his will) posting pictures of you both?
Well based off your voting options seems you only think there are bad reasons. I personally don't post things very often, hate pictures, and probably wouldn't post my girlfriend very much either
I don't want people to publish pictures of me, too. I like my private life. My question is: Why is it that important for you to publish these pictures?
But untill when? People always think that i am single. In fact that i was has someone. Whoever he also won't allow me to show too. If we got married, do u think people no need to know?
It didn't happen if it's not on Instagram? My real friends know when I am single and when I am not. I really don't care about social media. Maybe we are different regarding to this point. But the only thing I want to say is, that there might be different reasons for his conduct.
so there is no picture of you or you two together at all or throughout the whole relationship? i haven't used social media since 2010 really does he have his status on single or relationship?
