TECHY GUIDE TO A MODERN RELATIONSHIP

Back in the 1950s, high school and college boys used to “pin” their girlfriends. Nowadays, we’re posting, tagging, and blogging about our significant others. Here are the five levels of a modern techy relationship.

LEVEL 1: Share Photos of Each Other on Facebook

You tagged her in a photo from last night. Maybe it was a group thing, but somehow you managed to sneak a picture of just the two of you on your phone.

LEVEL 2: Update Your Relationship Status

If you’re “In a Relationship With [Insert Name Here]” you’re obviously more serious than those who are just “In a Relationship.” But I’m not judging.

LEVEL 3: Change to a Duo Profile Photo

Your Facebook profile pic is of “the two of you.” Congratulations, you’ve reached obsessive status. (Still not as bad as moms who use photos of their kids as profile pics.)

LEVEL 4: Share Your Passwords

It might have started with a harmless request to log-in to Netflix, but now you can log in to other’s emails and social media accounts (because the passwords are all the same, natch).

LEVEL 5: Blog Together

Sharing a home? Whatever. Try sharing a URL. Those full-time blogging couples are about as serious as it gets.
