Facebook conducted a study where they looked the patterns of people who were single and then in a relationship. They explained:
"We studied the group of people who changed their status from "Single" to "In a relationship" and also stated an anniversary date as the start of their relationship. During the 100 days before the relationship starts, we observe a slow but steady increase in the number of timeline posts shared between the future couple. When the relationship starts posts begin to decrease. Presumably, couples decide to spend more time together, courtship is off, and online interactions give way to more interactions in the physical world."Furthermore, once people are in relationship their posts become more positive.
They added:
"The content of the interactions gets sweeter and more positive. We used statistical methods to automatically analyze a set of aggregated, anonymized timeline interactions. For each timeline interaction, we counted the proportion of words expressing positive emotions (like "love", "nice", "happy", etc.) minus the proportion of words expressing negative ones (like "hate", "hurt", "bad", etc.)."
