It took a couple of years before publications and various other media outlets began to understand and talk about Facebookâs impact on everyday relationships. Status updates, photo tagging, profile pictures, and the like now have the potential to make just as loud of a statement as newspaper engagement announcements or being spotted by other people out at dinner once did. Sure we still have our own rules about what to do and what not to do when dating someone else, but weâve also added more largely due to Facebook.
Twitter still has a long way to go before it starts to affect our relationships the way Facebook has, and it may never be able to.. Twitter as a form of social media is way simpler than Facebook, but just like we have done with nearly every other innovative piece of technology, we the people find a way to make it complicate our lives and attach to it emotionally.
Since I joined Twitter two years ago, I have noticed how it sneakily can have an impact on relationships. If youâre not careful, following the person youâre datingon Twitter can be detrimental. This is not to say you should not follow someone you like or whom youâre dating, but it is to say itâs not nearly as necessary as say being friends with your significant other on Facebook. Today, five reasons why you donât need to follow the person youâre dating.
ITâS LITERALLY THEYâRE VOICE DIGITIZED
Unless youâve been living under a rock somewhere, you know the thing about Twitter is every update can only carry 140 characters. This essentially means each tweet is two sentences at most. Thatâs it. Then you tweet something else. If youâre following someone, youâre basically allowing them to talk to you all freaking day or as often as you check Twitter. The next thing you know, you two are at dinner, and one of you gets all excited to tell the other person something, and before they even say what they feel about what you just said they say, âOh yeah, I saw you Tweet about that today.â
