Facebook is something we are all familiar with in one-way or another. Facebook is the bridge between many relationships, and can help relationships begin and unfortunately can also destroy them. Facebook has become an addiction for some people and can consume a person’s whole life. The level of consumption can get so severe that the person can lose touch with reality.

Although people try to use Facebook for this purpose I personally feel it isn’t effective. Too many people can be friends with the same person you are trying to date and this can be disastrous. It’s too easy to simply like a person’s status or picture and problems to rise out of it. Facebook is probably one of the main causes for breakups. It’s safe to say that it’s your personal preference on what you do with your relationship Facebook-wise.

I personally think it’s sad that people feel they need to prove to a social networking site how good looking they can be. More times than not when you see the people from Facebook in real life they don’t look like their pictures. Hence the popular shirts with the saying “You looked better on Facebook”. With
