7 Facebook Statuses You Should Probably Avoid Posting on Valentine's Day

Take the style quiz to get personalized content.
We get it; you've been struck by Cupid's arrow this Valentine's Day, but it's important to remember that not everyone is as lucky in love as you are. So go ahead and share your red roses and pounds of chocolate with all your friends and family...we're all so happy for you. Just be sure to use a little tact when you post that V-Day bliss on social media because, well, some of your more single loved ones aren't really in the celebratory mood today. So whether you just started dating, are recently engaged or newly married...here are 7 Facebook statuses you should probably avoid if you want to get some "likes."
1. Roses are red, violets are blue, and look at what just arrived for me at the office!
Aw, your significant other remembered to send you a public declaration of his or her love! How sweet. But your friends already knew you two are madly in love...so thanks for reminding them that you found the perfect person to spend forever with and most others haven't. No, seriously, thank you.
2. My red Louboutin heels match my clutch. 
Congrats on finding the perfect outfit! And for having somewhere to wear it! But as Demi Lovato once said, "I really don't care." 
3. OMG! Breakfast in bed! Valentine's Day is off to an epic start. 
Epic is now bagels and a couple dollops of cream cheese from the corner bodega? Everyone love surprises, never leaving the bed, and well, bagels, but is this really a brag-worthy moment? Think before you tweet! 
4. Nails? Check. Hair? Check. Red lip? Check. 
You look great, no one will be able to deny that. But why snap a selfie of the pre-date regimen? Wait to post a pic until you're with your date. Now THAT'S something your friends could actually get behind liking... 
5. Time to get wine-d up! The only tail I'll get tonight is Yellowtail. 
We don't blame you for pouring an extra glass to cope with your partner's absence on the day o' love, buuut make sure you're not sending the wrong message. You don't want any erroneous interventions come February 15th. Let dear ol' mom know your just joking and, if you're actually upset you're spending the holiday away from your partner, make a date with the girls instead! 
6. [Insert smiling face with heart shaped eyes emoji x 3] 
We love emojis as much as the next person, but save them for those gushing text messages to your partner. All your friends already know how in love you are and won't be able to help but feel a bit annoyed when you post ANOTHER goo-goo eyed status about how AMAZING today is. 
7. I know I'm lucky to have my love in my life, but Ryan Gosling will ALWAYS be my Valentine. 
But...you DO know that you found, like, a real person, right? You can't take EVERYONE. Leave Ryan Gosling for the rest of us. 
8. Only one more meeting till I get to see my love for our romantic rendezvous tonight! 
As hard as it will be not to watch the clock on Valentine's Day (especially if you have a special night planned with your beloved), please don't let everyone know how you're feeling in real time. It's great that you're excited and even better that you have plans, but your friends probably don't feel like coaching you through the anticipatory phase. Fill them in over boozy brunch...not on Facebook.
