How to Delete a Dating Profile on Facebook

Maintaining a dating profile while in a relationship can lead to an angry altercation.

It is very important, once you find a relationship, to delete any online dating pages you may have to avoid potentially painful misunderstandings. Facebook, being a very well visited social networking site, is one of the first profiles you should edit to reflect your new relationship status. If your significant other finds that you are presenting yourself to the Facebook masses as single and looking for dates, it may not play out well. You have two options in this matter: delete your profile altogether or simply change your relationship status.
