Last week a female friend of mine made a post on her Facebook page sharing she would be deleting some of her male friends now that she was in a dating relationship. She said it was out of respect for her new boyfriend. From what I had gathered by some of the comments that followed, some of her male friends had at some point in the past professed to have crushes/feeling for her, and she now felt it was better to delete them from her page.
She received quite a bit of support, but she also caught quite a bit of flack for doing it. I initially thought she would mainly catch flack from guys, since they were the group being effected, but there were women who thought she was being silly for doing it. There were also guys who supported her decision like myself.
So if you were to start dating someone or when you started dating someone, did or would you delete people from Facebook of the opposite sex? Are there other social media things you change when you are in a relationship?
