Do you post all the juicy details of your relationship on Facebook and Twitter?
According to Zoosk, the romantic social network, couples embrace technology and social media in their relationships. Over 6,000 people were surveyed, and a whopping 81 percent of couples use technology to spice up their love lives and interact throughout the day. Why Your iPhone Is Ruining Your Relationships

But who's actually posting and reading the details of your date nights? According to the survey, over 51 percent of women enjoy checking out romantic updates on their social networks, but the men don't feel the same way; only 37 percent of the guys who were surveyed like to check out their friends' romantic photos and updates.
Now, I'm a big believer in the Facebook relationship status update. And, chances are, your friends enjoy congratulating you digitally about your engagement ring or wedding. In fact, a post about one of those would likely receive an abundant of 'likes' from both sexes. The Ins & Outs Of Texting & Dating
Having a discussion with your partner about how you'll use social media is imperative so you can be on the same page, digitally. A good rule of thumb is: if you wouldn't say it in a job interview, don't post it on Facebook.
Apparently, those surveyed felt the same way; 60 percent of Americans surveyed admitted to being cautious about posting gushy photos for fear that their boss or co-worker would see them. Why You Shouldn't Update Your Relationship Status
Whether your favorite mode of digital communication is texting, Tweeting, or posting on Facebook, one thing is for sure: too many details about your love life should stay between the two of you. Otherwise, you'll watch your number of friends shrink.
It's like I always say, "When in doubt, don't."
