Danny shrieks in disbelief, “I can’t believe what she wrote!”  He stared point blank at his Facebook realizing that all of his friends, co-workers, and bosses have already seen the message on his public wall.  He mutters, “This is not cool.”  I asked him, “What’s the matter?”  He said, “My co-workers and boss saw this on my Facebook wall and they just emailed me about it.”  I said, “Delete it.”   He replied, “I can’t. It will look like I was hiding something. Plus, everyone has already seen it.”  He shrieks again at his computer, “Stop pissing all over my Facebook wall!

[Personally, I would’ve deleted the message, but everyone has different judgment calls.]

Here’s a screenshot of the girl’s comments on his Facebook wall.  Well actually, just an excerpt of it.  Mind you, he never really wrote anything on her wall.  And yes, he just started dating this girl.

After this incident, it just went downhill.  Guys like the chase.  It becomes a turn-off when the girl gets too aggressive early on, especially if the guy is not considering the girl as a fling.

If you’re a girl, don’t make the same mistake as her.  Some things are meant to be said privately.  USE EMAIL!  Don’t try to mark your territory by leaving tons of messages or inappropriate comments on public walls.  Instead of winning the guy over, you are going to lose him.  The same thing goes with guys, too.  Possessive or jealous guys are not sexy.

What do you think of the situation?  Have you had a similar case of territorial marking?
