For a while I've resisted adding my boyfriend as a friend on FB. But he's insisting. However, I want to prevent him from seeing certain posts about him that I made (visible only to my friends). There's nothing negative in them (in fact, they are quite complimentary toward him). I just don't want him to get a huge ego .
He's a little irked that I haven't accepted his friend request yet. If I were to accept it, what could I do to prevent him from seeing these posts?

(40,223 posts)If you accept his request there will be a drop down box where you can make him an acquaintance rather than a friend and restrict what posts he sees. You would have to allow him to see posts on a post by post basis. He wouldn't know what setting you put him on. That is the way I understand it.

Or you can put him in a restricted category.
It all depends on how you feel about your relationship. If you want to continue discussing him on FB, then I guess restrict what he sees. If you are more serious about him and want him to see posts that your other friends see then deleting posts about him is probably the best option.
Either way...best of luck!!
