Don’t be ‘that’ couple

Have you ever been on Facebook and noticed that one couple? They blow up each other’s Facebook walls with posts like, “I love you so much” and, “Thanks so much for the text this morning baby <3.” They are known for multiple tagged photos, way too many status updates about their significant other and being excessively mushy in the public sphere. 

But it doesn’t stop there. This behavior eventually makes its way to other outlets like Instagram and, worst of all, Twitter. After a while, everything they do is no longer romantic, it’s annoying.

So I find myself asking: Where do we draw the line between what is cute and what is obnoxious? To answer this question, I decided to create a list showing where to draw the line for your coupledom.

A couple profile pictures together: Cute

All of your profile pictures together: Obnoxious

A post to his Facebook wall about an inside joke: Cute

A post to his Facebook wall detailing why you love him so much: Obnoxious

Posting to his Facebook once a week: cute

Posting to his Facebook every day: Obnoxious

Updating your status about something sweet he did, like buying you flowers: Cute

Updating your status about something sweet he did, like how he picked you up a coke from CVS: Obnoxious

Writing a status saying happy birthday to your significant other: Cute

Writing a status when you two get in a fight and you are super emotional about his stupid friends and how much they piss you off: Obnoxious

Tweeting at him something you saw that reminded you of him: Cute

Tweeting at him anything that should be said in a text message: Obnoxious

Tweeting at him when you are not together: Cute

Tweeting at him when you are sitting next to each other: Obnoxious

Tweeting at him every few days: Cute

Tweeting at him multiple times a day: Obnoxious

Instagramming one picture of you and him at your sorority event: Cute

Instagramming three different pictures of you and him kissing in your bed: Obnoxious

Hopefully you get the idea of where the line is drawn. Just remember that if you feel like you might be doing too much, it is much better just not to post than to be annoying.
