Rule #1: Don’t fall into the trap of‘ifyou didn’t share it, it didn’t happen”

Rule #2: You don’t have to always share selfies – abstract pictures work great too

Rule #3: Make sure your partner is comfortable with what you’re sharing

If you want to write something cheese-free, then there are some basic rules to bear in mind. 

Every day of the week has countless dedicated (and overused hashtags). From your man crush Mondays (#mcm), to your #TastyTuesdays, to those #Thursdates (sigh…), Insta is full to bursting with clichéd images of couples reminding everyone they are in a relationship. Your friends have probably already seen 5 or 6 #ThoughtfulThursday posts before they scroll through to yours. 

We hate to break it to you but, honestly they really don’t care about that super cute but cliché gesture you posted about. What they want is to see what’s going on in your lives as a one-of-a-kind, totally unique couple – cause that’s what you are (never forget it!).

The same goes for those demure posts of yours. We know you “think she’s ok” and that you “guess he’ll do”. You’re in a relationship that you want to share with the world, that much goes without saying! Instead of diminishing your feelings in order to seem coy and humble, be true to how you really feel. That’s the magic dust of life – embrace it!

Rule #1: Own it, baby

Rule #2: Don’t be afraid to overshare

Rule #3: Learn from others

When our hands touch, it sends shivers up my spine, and when you lean in and your lips brush mine I never want to let you go.”
• “Looking at you it occurred to me, I could sit around all day wearing nothing but your kiss.” — Shane Koyczan
