To me that kind of seems like a red flag. I understand not wanting to be on social media, that's a personal choice and I respect it. But why do they want me to get rid of my social media? It seems suspicious to me so I probably would break up with them.
If that was tic tok then yes not like i use that anyway. But a person who don't date someone who has tic tok is.. right away better by miles.
But otherwise no, that's just a indicator of an abusive controlling person. I don't use social media much anyway so Ig it would be even more of sign them been petite and really controlling.
Well, the guy I'm seeing doesn't have social media, but I only have Instagram for Art purposes and school, and Facebook for school and clubs. I also have very few friends and actually blocked the guys who were being flirty with them even though I thought they were my friends, but they were prob interested in me in that way.
I hate social media when it comes to dating and although I am well-behaved, I hate the debate around men following different women and liking their photos, and messaging them while they're supposed to be committed to someone else. I'd rather just not involve myself into that. So if a guy doesn't have social media, thats automatically better for me.
However, I think it's just best if we trust each other all round and enjoy the benefits of social media.
You mean my FB account that I haven't logged into for 3 years? Sure why not? I'd lose probably a dozen posts over 10+ years. Oh no!
You might have guessed that I'm not a huge user of social media...
I respect it, but I would not. Can't even see a context I would consider it because it seems unreasonable. Not even sure what she would need to be, say, do for me to think about it seriously.
To make an ask like that you need to provide a lot. Just bring my girlfriend doesn't cut it. I could easily have another girlfriend who would be cool with me on social media.
no, i wouldn't delete my social media for my partner. i think i have a pretty healthy relationship with social media, and them asking me to delete my social media right off the bat may be a red flag that they could be very controlling over me. i think i would actually avoid the relationship just because of my past with controlling partners.
No. I would not. I'm not doing anything shady on social media and it's a means to communicate with friends and family. If your partner does not trust you to be on social media, that's on them. Unless they have grounds to believe you are doing something behind their back on social media (in which case they should either confront the issue or not even be with you), there's no reason that you should be asked to delete it.
Yeah, I don’t care much about the social sites in the first place.
I am rarely active in Facebook or any other form of Social networks. So, I guess I would do it if she wants more time from me.
But ofcourse, not to the extent that I can't connect to anyone. I might keep necessary contacts connected via other means. Or something like that.
Given that the world's population seems to be crazy about social media interactions, your partner is rather behind the times. Granted the first move a female makes once she thinks she's reeled in a male is to get rid of his male friends and isolate him from as much social contact as possible. If a new squeeze tried that on me I would tell her to Get a rifle and "F*ck Off At The High Port".
I would think that they have issues and are probably trying to cut you off from friends and family but if you're talking or flirting with a bunch of dudes on there or acting a certain kind of way I could understand it more but in that situation he should just move on anyways because it's not likely she's gonna change for him
A definite turnoff. I would quit talking to them because that's a ridiculous request. What does social media have to do with a relationship if the person is loyal and faithful and has limits? I'm not going to let anyone be a hindrance like being on social media then want me to delete it for them to pursue a relationship. They're crazy for thinking that because I use it for a lot of things professionally.
Why would I delete it for him? Social media is a great way to communicate with peolple you know, especially those who are far from you. If I delete my fb account, that means I lose the only means of communication with my old friends. So the answer would be NO, I won't delete it for him. He has to know that My world does not revolve around one person only. I have other friends too and I have family too.
lol, what's your business? is it like most of the women who exploit their bodies for money?
Also business existed before social media.
I guess social media is more important than a partner to you, sad.
don't forget to "SHARE" this...
I’m a writer and assistant matchmaker working remotely since covid started. Social media is where we get the most clients.
No I’d never delete my social media for anyone. It kind of removes my way of communicating with people outside of my relationship. I’d like to keep it going and if they aren’t okay well then it’s not going to work.
You can't delete social media. You can stop using it, but once you create a profile and make posts you can't get rid of what's already there. that's why people warn everyone about the security in the golf when it comes to social media and your public professional image. There you go. It has absolutely nothing to do with your would-be partner.
There shouldn't be an issue as long as you're not one of the girls whom take random stalker picks of your boyfriend and post them. I had one girl from school constantly do that "Say hi to dean playing blitzball on TV!" *side butt pic of dean doing his thing*
- to the girls reading, dont be like that
I can stop Facebook and I don't use snap but instagram is like my only methods to stay in contact with quite a few of my friends, I love reading stuff on Quora and I use twitter for keeping myself updated about stuff. I wouldn't be able to delete that.
Plus I need insta for memes.
delete, no. once a complete commitment stop using most or all of them yes. i say most because some of my friends i only talk to via some sort of social media platform and my current job has its own non-public social media app we are required to use from time to time. as for still just talking and requiring a deletion would be an end to any dating prospects.
No I wouldn’t , but I definitely could limit my time on it and barely use it , which I kind of do now , I mainly only come on when I am having my coffee or in the evening , but I can go hours without it
