When you first start dating someone it’s exciting, and you can’t get enough of each other, but when is it the right time to take your relationship public? You will start introducing each other to your friends and family and of course making that first social media post to make it completely official. Some people post on social media religiously, but others don’t really like to blast their life online.
If you are worried your partner isn’t posting about you, and it has been a reasonable amount of time to do so, here are 5 ways you can ask them to start without seeming like that’s all you care about.
Tell Them How You Feel

At the beginning of a relationship, it can be hard to feel comfortable enough to open up about your feelings. However, the key to a great relationship is openness and honesty, it’s all about trust.
Being able to sit down and tell your partner that you’re upset they don’t post about you might seem silly, but it will show them how you are feeling and odds have they probably had no idea you even were upset.
Ask Them Questions

Being able to ask your partner questions about anything is important, especially when you want to get to the bottom of things. Asking them questions like, “how often do you check social media?” “What is your opinion on posting your relationship on social media?” ” Do you feel like you could live without any social media?”
These are valid questions that can help you gauge if they even care about social media in the first place. It can also open up a window for conversation if they start to wonder why you care so much about asking them.
Consider Their Feelings

For some posting on social media is a science, you have to edit it perfectly, choose a good filter, make a cute caption and post it at the right time. For others, they can post once a month, not edit a single photo and care less about who liked it.
It has nothing to do with your relationship, it just might simply be because they don’t care about posting.
Don’t Get Caught Up In It All

Social media can be a great place to share your life and see what others are up to, but it’s not your whole world. There is life beyond social media, and sometimes we forget that. Don’t get caught up in who’s posting about what and just enjoy your relationship.
When the time comes they will post about you and everything will be fine. It’s OK to express how you feel and ask your partner to post more, but at the end of the day if that’s not the person they are there’s nothing wrong with that.
Evaluate The Relationship As A Whole

Take a step back and look at your relationship as a whole. How are you two interacting, how much do you two spend quality time together and really enjoy each others company? If everything is going smoothly in the relationship, then is there really anything to worry about?
However, if things seem rocky or you have suspicions that they are hiding you, talk about it. Your intuition might be right, or it could be entirely off.
Posting your relationship on social media doesn’t define how happy you two are. It can be cute and fun to show how much you love each other and what exciting things you both are up to but don’t take it too seriously, after all, it’s just a picture with some likes.
