Liking FB pictures (Page 2)

Curious, where's his Sun/Merc/Venus?

I wouldn't be bothered by him simply liking her pics, but it seems like you guys have other issues that have been festering, leading you to question an otherwise pretty innocent act. It does seem like he's trying to coax a reaction out of you.

I'd calmly bring it up, see how he responds, then react accordingly.

So, you have no male friends that you liked their profile picture when they update it, no? No childhood friends?

I've got childhood male friends. The only time I ever "Like" their profile pic is when it's an image of them goofing off, or if it conveys something special (career accomplishment, marriage, travel etc.), basically as a way of acknowledging their humor or sharing their joy.

Besides those instances (i.e. random selfies), I just don't see the point. *shrugs*

But not everyone has a conscious reason for liking a pic, and if the extent of your relationship is arbitrated by what you do on social-media then you probably have a very vain relationship in the first place.

Sun is Aries, Mercury Pisces, Venus Aries..

So I found out that this girl doesn't like him. She likes someone else. She doesn't like that he's cheated in the past since she has been cheated on. And he knows this. Then he tells me he doesn't have a crush on her but he likes talking to her.

So if he knows she's not interested, why like her picture? I realize I may be over analyzing, just bear with me.

How would you feel if your boyfriend (or gf) liked a picture of a hot girl on Facebook? Let's say that he rarely likes any photos, so it's not like he clicks like for anything. And he liked one of your best friend, but never likes any pics that you post.

They just became fb friends and they work in the same building. So it's not like they never see each other.

this seems like a common theme, people liking pictures of someone other than the one they are committed to. also, what is it with people liking others pictures left and right but when their spouse does the same they can't bear it? social media is making everyone unhappy and it is difficult to stay away from it.

I read this thing where guys were jealous of when a guy keeps liking their gf's picture. Should they say something to her or him...it's like this discussion. It seems to be a problem with guys liking girl's pics.

This is why I don't "like" any FB pictures of anyone. At all.

Unless there's food or a fish they caught in the picture.

I wouldn't want anyone to think I was lusting after someone.

...or Beer? 😄


I totally agree with what you say, i wouldn't do this either....very disrespectful to your partner

True! I agree with this sentiment. It's really disrespectful. The guy I used to like is always liking selfies of all these young girls and I'm thinking "just like this shows up on my newsfeed, it must show on the gf's too and I wonder what the poor girl is thinking". If my BF ever did something like this, and I'm not talking about liking one or two pics of women's selfies, I'd have his head on a platter.

How old is this guy?

He's 25. He's had 3 prior relationships before me. They all involved cheating, whether by him or the girl. He also has a thing of trying to make girls jealous. I am thinking that this may be it, and because he's being open about it. That if it were something that he would hide it.

I can't tell right now if I'm feeling intuition or fear. He may have a crush on her. I feel like why bother if he knows she likes someone else. I don't think it's nothing, because usually his actions are deliberate. He thinks things through and plans things out, in his head.

Well, if he is purposely doing this stuff, just leave him alone. Relationships are hard enough as it is without someone doing stuff purposely to create problems.

This sounds like a complete waste of time, really.

I agree, it's not worth it. I hate feeling this way, all confused and weird. Everyone's perspectives have helped so much, thank you
