Do you say I love you or change your relationship status first? Should you stay friends with your ex? Should you stay friends with your friend\u2019s ex? Should you refriend the friend you defriended when she said something bad about your ex before he became your ex? Should you grab two Tylenol because Facebook etiquette is giving you a giant headache?<\/p>\n

Our FFF board advisor Dr. Wanda Echevarria Rosen, PhD<\/a><\/strong> explains, “Facebook can be tricky \u2013 especially when it comes to love. Announcing your relationship to the world can certainly add stress to it, especially in the beginning stages. You suddenly have to succeed not only for yourselves, but for everybody who reads your wall.”<\/p>\n

With this in mind, we have a few relationship do’s and don\u2019ts when it comes to Facebooking.<\/p>\n

Do not change your relationship status<\/strong> without consulting the other person<\/strong>. The guy you have been casually dating will not be flattered and may actually move out of state.<\/p>\n

Do not write that you have just met the most wonderful guy in the world and you plan to marry him and have six children. He may move out of the country.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s OK to friend request the friends of the guy you\u2019ve been dating for a few weeks \u2013 but just choose a few<\/strong>. This is the Facebook equivalent of putting some of your clothes in his closet. You want to do it carefully and slowly.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t friend request the friends of the guy you went on a first date with last night.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t ask someone to be your friend more than once. <\/strong>They didn\u2019t miss the email.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s OK to stay friends with your ex.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not OK to stay tagged in dozens of lovey-dovey romantic photos with him.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s OK to look at the new photo of your ex.<\/strong> We\u2019ve all been guilty of the occasional ex snoop. And it\u2019s more socially acceptable than hiding in the backseat of his car. Just don\u2019t linger there too long!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not OK to Photoshop the photo of your ex and put devil horns and a tiny penis on him.<\/p>\n

There is no reason to look through the profile of your ex\u2019s new girlfriend (and definitely don\u2019t Photoshop devil horns on her).<\/p>\n

Do not drink and post! <\/strong>It\u2019s worse than drunk dialing or texting, because it goes out to your entire social network. If you pick up a drink, put your hands in the air and step away from the Facebook.<\/p>\n

Have any other Facebook no-nos? Tweet ’em at us<\/strong> and we\u2019ll add your faves to the list!<\/p>\n

Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n
