Social media has become one of the largest bases of networking within our society.  Most people are so in tune with social media, it is the first thing they check when they wake up, when they are on a lunch break or even before they go to bed. The influence of this form of communication is so heavy it has even taken over the dating world.

Rather people know it or not or even deny it, social media does influence relationships especially in the present time. You will know if you are a participant within this stage if you have ever seen a post on Facebook or Instagram about your significant other that made you look at them twice, question where they have been in the last few hours or who another person is.

Social media has it perks as well as it downfalls when it comes to relationships and this is because so many people express their whole life story through these sources, if you’re mad at him or her you can easily post a tweet on twitter or a status on Facebook. Even if you are happy and everything appears to be in bliss you can express that as well but basically the exposure of your life is in the spotlight of millions of people; how does this affect a relationship?
