Social Media: Make-Up to Break-Up

It's no secret that social media plays a significant role in today's relationships. It all starts with a friend request, the entry into your personal space, and takes off from there. People use social networks to learn what people are about, especially in the dating phase. They can scope the company you keep, your hobbies, who you interact with and whether you spend a lot of time on the internet on not. Believe it or not, the amount of time you spend on social media will allow a person to make a guesstimate of how private of a person you really are. What you choose to post or how you choose to act reflect what you want people to know about you. It also allows people to decide whether they want to pursue someone or not. The world of social media has really become the ultimate outlet for people to flirt on. People do everything from expressing their interests in private messages and on uploaded photos to "poking" someone on Facebook.  It's the newest form of testing the waters to see if you're interested in someone or discover if they're interested in you.
