The Facebook Test: Part Three

This article refers to The Facebook Test: Part One (click ME) and The Facebook Test: Part Two (click ME).

Your crazy hot ex is always showing up on your facebook. It's like the homepage knows you're not over him yet. You know you shouldn't, but you keep clicking through to see pictures that fill you with sorrow, rage, and curiosity. Due to the questions I've received by email, I want to make some amends to my facebook tips. Now, I still agree that you shouldn't necessarily block him on facebook because you can't block people in real life. Like it or not, he still exists.

However, facebook has changed as of recent (let's face it; the format's always updating). On your newsfeed on the homepage, you have the option of getting rid of his updates. All you have to do is select the little arrow to the right of the specific update and click on "Unsubscribe from ____". Try this the next time you see your ex--or the guy you really shouldn't like--popping up all over your newsfeed. 

Resisting the Temptation

You should definitely deal with your obsessive feelings, but that doesn't mean you can't take measures to avoid that temptation. In real life, you wouldn't go to the places where it is extremely likely that he'd show up.  Especially, if you're trying to get over  him. So, why would you go there on facebook?

Yes, in both real life and facebook, you could always seek him out. You could search his name and find out exactly where he's been and what he's been up to. But, I don't think that's a healthy choice for anybody when trying to get over someone.

So, take the challenge. Unsubscribe from the guy you don't want to be in love with.

Love,
