Your FB is killing your game!



Yeah, you heard me right. You can describe the sparks, elaborate about the chemistry and proclaim she’s definitely into you, but those good signs can very well load themselves into a Ferrari and zoom off… of a cliff and into the sea if you’re not careful with one lil thing – your Facebook profile. What you think is “cool” or “doesn’t matter” about your FB could be the Kryptonite to your Superman!





ONE: PROFILE PHOTO

I’m not sure if you notice it, but profile photos say a lot about the person – not just the face. Looks don’t matter, no, seriously – leaving outer beauty matters aside, what you’re doing, how you’re posing and what or who is with you in the photo? Yup, we start our analysis there.
For perspective, those details would matter to you if you were looking at a girl’s photo too, right? So, pictures that depict you drunk at your friend’s bachelor party or sticking straw up your nose or lewdly posing next to a wax figurine of Pam Anderson don’t help. No, an excessively wild party animal, who has no table manners and dreams of the day when Pammy and her two BFFs walk into his life is not boyfriend material in our books. Even if you’re not really like that, we girls see more than just a picture. We see what you’ll be like 6 months or 5 years and yes, gasp—20 years from now. We need to see how you’ll fit into our lives and pretty much our future.

TWO: STALKER!

It really gets girls weirded out if you seem to know everything about her…from her Facebook. Good job on being the greatest spy/stalker/creep but it’s not going to work out for you, unfortunately. Sure, we filled in the “About Me” section with some attempted humour about our favourite…food, typed in a bunch of music we ‘like’, included “Sarcasm” for one of the languages we know but don’t take it all too seriously, just like the books you thinkwe ‘read’.
Get to know us by literally getting to know us and not through memorizing our whole profile, stalking new photos uploaded, statuses posted and comments we put on our friends’ walls.
It shows your true interest in getting to know us and that’s attractive. And for all you know, we might probably fail at being sarcastic at all.

THREE: CHECKING-IN

Erm, we don’t really want to know where you are 24/7. Malls – fine. Clubs – sure. “Toilet”, “home” and your “office”? Not really. We’re not going to date you just because you are the mayor of Tropicana City Mall, but hey, it’s cool if you are. Also, not cool to prey over your foursquare or Facebook to see where we’re at and then running over while calling us, “Hey, I see you’re at SS15’s Starbucks! What a coincidence! So am I! Wanna grab a coffee together?” when in reality, you were next door with your friend, Spicy Chicken McDeluxe. Wanna hang out? Sure,invite us to a date – girls love that. :) At least then we’ll know you want to spend time with us. Besides, we’re pulling our hair waiting for you to pop the question – to hang out that is.
At the end of the day, don’t be too shy to let us know you’re interested. Don’t be afraid to say, “Hey, wanna hang out or catch a movie?” Don’t hesitate to ask what our favourite colour is. It’s cool. Technology can sometimes ruin romance and creep us out instead. Sometimes. Everything should be in moderation – like…wine maybe?

Thank you :)
