Love Bucket List: Has Facebook Caused Us To Change Our Dating Patterns?
Tuesday, January 17th, 2012 Posted in Dating, Mating, Relating, Romance, Social Dating | No Comments »
Has Facebook Caused You To Change Your Dating Patterns?
Do you have an entry on your love bucket list of a wish for your date to ‘friend you Facebook’ and to change Facebook relationship status to “in a relationship”? Is your social dating life and relationship life on your love bucket list?

Here’s a Facebook Relationship Status Post and Comments about Facebook and Dating (images and names removed)
Post: Is FACEBOOK a friend or foe in the early stages of a relationship (and why), how can FACEBOOK be used for a higher good? When to "friend" someone you met organically or on a dating site, when to change your relationship status, using Facebook as a background check, stalking a past relationship or even spying on a current date.
Comment 1 facebook can be a very slippery slope when part of romantic relationships in many ways…
Comment 2 one of the biggest deficits I see is it circumvents actual conversations and can result in a lot of projection and assumptions
Comment 3 I see nothing wrong with looking at a past or present’s Facebook page. That’s just curiosity. I see a big problem with creating a fake profile and acting in an obsessive manner. A slippery slope indeed.

Comment 4 I really hate the relationship status feature….I have hidden mine for now ….waiting for the divorce to happen and plan to fix it in the middle of the night when no one is up LOL! I will never use that feature again. so much on Face Book isn’t real I would hate to use it for any real measure against any future relationship I may have. I try to keep things fun on here, after all, my kid is a "friend" and that helps me tow the line!

Comment 5 name – good observations. It can be wonderful as a way to connect initially and ongoing but no way is it, for me, as good as or ato replacement for direct connection voice to voice or especially in person.
Comment 6 Auto correct thinks "ato" is a word lol.
Comment 7 Just a side note….one thing my ex did do when Yoville (Facebook app) was popular. He did go to my fake "pad" and leave a box of chocolates…..It was nice to know he was thinking about me (then again, he could have been stalking!)

Comment 8 I’ve toyed with the idea of telling anyone I’m dating "I will not friend you on facebook, nor will I text back and forth on any "relationship" subject". I might friend them once the relationship is well established, but not in the beginning… too much potential drama.
Comment 9 I think it is an excellent platform to launch relationships and from then on it’s not about FACEBOOK at all. It’s fun and that’s all it is….but it does turn us into snoops sometimes.

Comment 11 Plus, my facebook profile is my home… lots and lots of personal information there (including exposure to my children). I’m very selective about who I friend. I also think it can be too much info, too soon when just starting to learn about someone. Best to let some of the life details unfold more gradually…

Comment 13 Foe when comments with others appear inappropriate…or when there is never a recognition given to a partner, yet the person is definitely on FACEBOOK. It can certainly be used for the higher good when there is still an occasional endearing acknowledgment of your partner….if not just to let people know that your partner is actually important to you.

Comment 15 If you use your privacy options and blocking option correctly non one will be able to spy on anyone.

Comment 16 I think too many people want to "e-maintain" vs. engage. I’m with name, if you want to get to know me, man up and do so in the real world..

Comment 17 Any "drama" that happens is caused by issues that need to be dealt with anyway – facebook just reveals them faster and more blatantly. Better to shine the light on it all I say. You have to really be ready for an intimate relationship though.

Comment 18 However, some people don’t deal as well with that bright light but need more baby steps and softer lighting for facing those demons, name. Doesn’t mean they aren’t ready, they just aren’t ready for THAT much exposure so quickly.

Comment 22 It is what it us. FACEBOOK is here to stay. What I find interesting is married couples who don’t friend with the spouse. I always thought that was not cool. Having privacy is one thing, but privacy from your primary partner when the rest of the world is allowed to see doesn’t make sense. The spy factor is a bit invasive but then it does allow you to see your potential partner and vice versa being their true selves! If they can’t be trusted, or IF YOU can’t be trusted, it’s gonna reveal itself one way or the other. Why not here?

The beginning of a love journey often starts with a date, then an engagement, then a wedding. Pat and Larry have love that reaches to the moon and back and since their last name is Moon, that’s a good thing!
I met Pat online. She wanted to be my Facebook friend. I have hundred of Facebook friend requests and I look at every one individually. What struck me about Pat was her cover photo showing the two love birds with a handcrafted “Happy 50th Anniversary” cover photo with handprints of family members. And the really do look happy in the photo. Real love shows in the smile.
50 years of marriage. Wow! 50 Years of HAPPY Marriage! That only happens when the love bucket is being filled regularly, consistently, and with the rings of desire that a unique to the special lady. Pat is a lucky wife to have a husband who fills her love bucket. 50 years of filling the love bucket is quite an achievement!

Love Bucket: Filling The Love Bucket Before Valentine’s Day

Love Bucket: Filling The Love Bucket Before Valentine’s Day Is A Smart Move!
Happy New Year 2012 seems like a distant memory now that we are bombarded with Valentine’s Day which is less than 40 days away. The Christmas cards have been replaced by Valentine’s hearts, cards, and chocolates.
The easiest way to fill the love bucket, whether you are filling a woman’s love bucket is to shine up the Recognition Ring of Desire. There are 7 Rings of Desire®” of “The Love Bucket®”
Spencer Tracy may be right, but so is Gerald Eakdale when it comes to recognition. She their recognition quotes.
“It is up to us to give ourselves recognition. If we wait for it to come from others, we feel resentful when it doesn’t, and when it does, we may well reject it.” – Spencer Tracy
“Recognition is the greatest motivator.” -Gerard C. Eakedale
Since the love bucket blog focuses on men filling women’s love buckets, I tend to agree with Mary Kay Ash and William James.
“There are two things people want more than sex and money… recognition and praise.” -Mary Kay Ash
“What every genuine philosopher (every genuine man, in fact) craves most is praise – although the philosophers generally call it ‘recognition’!”
-William James
Often the word appreciation is used interchangeably with recognition. This is a huge hunger, a huge desire.
"There is more
hunger for LOVE
and APPRECIATION
in this world
than for bread."
~Mother Teresa

You’ll begin to see LOVE BUCKET showing up in stores (below with candles, buckets, aprons) and online (above). Images that say love bucket in the headline that don’t have a love bucket (did you “The Love Bucket®” is a registered trademark?) and handmade buckets with hearts.

The Recognition Ring of Desire of “The Love Bucket®” needs to be shined up on a regular basis. It needs attention. Do you give the right kind of attention to you loved one?
I’ve switched the word motivation with recognition in Zig’s quote to illustrate the point about giving regular recognition to fill the love bucket.
“People often say that recognition doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily." -Zig Ziglar
Thank you for filling the The Love Bucket® before Valentines, on Valentine’s Day and every day.
