Looking for love this Valentine’s Day? You may be single because you haven’t met the “right one.” Or maybe there’s another problem. Do you know how to have a successful first date in the age of Facebook? Sure, you may think you're suave; after all, you know not to change your status to "In a Relationship" after just one date. But there are a lot of other potential pitfalls. Here are ten of the worst mistakes you can make on Facebook before, during, or after a first date. If you recognize yourself in any of these situations, then you know why you’re alone!

The Mistake

This is the worst and it can make you the worst.

You just went on your first date and had an amazing time. You desperately want to see this person again. And you're sure your date feels the same way. After all, you were talking and laughing for hours!

The minute your date is over, you whip out your smartphone and reach out to friend him or her on Facebook (or follow your date on Twitter). It’s the way of today’s social media-dominated world, right?

Wrong. It was just one date. No matter how magical and rainbow-filled it was for you, maybe your date was bored out of his or her mind. You don’t know if you’ll ever see this person again. If you weren't already friends on Facebook, there's no reason to take that step now. Plus, now you’ve just given yourself something else to obsess over: “Why hasn’t my friend request been accepted? Why is it taking so long? Did they even see it?!”

It’s even worse if your friend request is accepted, only for there to be no second date. Then you have to decide if and when to unfriend this person. Why put yourself in that situation?

If you’re not already Facebook buddies, friending can wait.
