Facebook and new boyfriend

I’ve been dating someone for a couple of months and we were friends from a while ago too. I’ve mentioned a couple of times becoming friends on Facebook but he’s clearly not keen. He mentioned people from his past are on there. I wasn’t too bothered to start with now we’ve seen more of each other it’s starting to bother me a bit. I obviously don’t want to kept mentioning it though. Any thoughts?

Thanks for all the replies 😊 The more I think about it I’m sure it’s because it’s because he doesn’t want his ex to see me on there, maybe because of the past, maybe just because he doesn’t. He has mutual friends of theirs on there too - maybe he’s worried they’ll turn against him…
Surely it shouldn’t matter- they split up nearly 2 years ago !!

He wants to meet up again at the weekend but sadly I’m now feeling unsure about it. No idea what to do now? 😩

Tell him that things aren’t working for you and so you don’t think you should see each other again. Then move on.

If he adds you on Facebook now it’ll only be because you’ve wheedled him into it. He’ll feel resentful that he’s had to do something he didn’t really want to; you’ll feel resentful that you had to put pressure on him. After just a few weeks of dating it really doesn’t sound worth the bother.

I seem to be going against the grain here but he wants to see you, he's made that clear. If you want to see him too then you're just shooting yourself in the foot over social media - 2 months in !? I don't get it.

I actually feel sorry for him.

Prioritise real life.

Meet him. Enjoy. Park the FB issue and see where it's going.
