Rules For The Official Facebook Relationship

11. Refrain From Bullying

Bullying an ex is the same as a bully tormenting another kid their age on the playground. It's unnecessary and this case, should be avoided as its considered a juvenile action that can create issues and insecurity within your current relationship.

12. Stay Away From Exes

To the Facebook world, an end to a relationship also holds the second meaning that those involved are "finally single". Constant interactions with new singles will be seen by others and it's best to be seen as supportive, not desperate.

13. Manage Your "Friendship Boundaries"

Just because you've added a special someone to your Facebook profile as "a special someone" doesn't mean you should immediately add all of their friends as a way of introducing yourself. Let public meets do the talking and not an obsession with social media.

We all have those photos where an innocent party really looks unprofessional to the naked eye. To present a clear image for your new relationship, spend an afternoon deleting/cleaning up your Facebook profile.
