How soon after a breakup?

Is it socially acceptable to go facebook official with your new boyfriend? 

I can barely believe I am asking this. I met him 6 days after the breakup and have talked all day everyday since. It has been three and half weeks since the breakup. 

…but everything is going really good and we both want a long-term relationship with one another. We are just waiting to make it official until we know it wont fizzle in a month or two…and it is becoming more and more apparent that it is not fizzling. 

Keep in mind my old boyfriend is blocked from my profile. I am mainly just waiting because of the shock it would be to my friends.(and I have to admit the timing shocked me too, I didn’t expect to meet a crazy awesome guy so soon after a breakup.) 

So tell me your opinions please! :)

  2. l-platerunner said: why put it up on facebook at all? x
  3. lovetheweighitfeels said: I say wait 6 months before changing your status on facebook — IF AT ALL— I think the agony of even having to define it and/or change it is worse than THINKING about putting it up there. I will only change my status on FB when I am married.

  5. stephunee said: Honestly, I wouldn’t wait a certain amount of time, I’d do it when I felt like it. I really don’t believe in all of those “rules” like waiting 3 days after a date to call the person again, etc. Your relationship, your rules. :)
  6. britthipp said: 3 1/2 weeks, thats just about a month. i completely understand looking out for your ex’s feelings (idk what the situation was) considering you still have him blocked why not celebrate a new relationship! i think thats plenty of time.

  8. wishuponacrane said: go for it! your friends will probably be happy to see you’re with a great guy again :) How long was your previous relationship for? I think if only a few months then anything from two weeks after the breakup is a fine time. :)
  9. britni2point0 said: It’s right when it feels right to you. If you are worried about the fizzle factor let it go for a month or two. It’s only facebook it doesn’t make the relationship any more (or less) legit to have it posted there. You can always fill people in later.

  11. insidemelookingout said: I’d give it a bit just to let nosey people calm down. (if you care about that type of thing) But honestly its your life and do what YOU want.
  12. sunshineandhipline said: Do whatever you want! Who cares what other people think.
  13. strengthforsuze said: I would say wait at least a month, just to be sure.
  14. twisted-venus said: Had the same dilemma when I started out with my awesome current boyfriend. I say two months more would be just fine. :)
