 fb is the dumbest thing to have happened to human relationships in the last century. Get off of fb and start living a life in reality. You can't sneek words around on the internet and hope no one else reads them but you can whisper sweet nothings in an ear and be a real person.

 your girlfriend's parents don't like you dating her and your worried about being blocked on facebook?
aren't you worried they don't like you and she is defying her parents?
