Here is how you can hide your relationship from the world

Keeping your relationship a secret is your choice. Some want to keep it under wraps because they don't want to jinx it, a few like to hide it from the public eye to ward off unnecessary vigilance and then there are some who hide their relationships out of fear from their parents. But how exactly do you keep it a secret? Scroll down to some of the tips that may help you out.

2/6

Picture control

It is very tempting to post and share your pictures with the world, on social media platforms but then you must think of the consequences. Your one picture is enough to go viral with friends, family and colleagues. It can be downloaded, screenshots can easily be taken etc. Take pictures but keep them to yourselves. Reveal them when you are ready to make it official.

3/6

Avoid PDA

It is difficult but you have to keep your hands off each other in public. No hugging, kissing or holding hands. Maintain distance between you both. Because if anyone sees you both, the word will definitely be out.

4/6

His or her name on the phone

If you are into secrets, you know what we mean. It is very important that you change each other’s name on your phones. How else will you be able to hide the fact that there is something brewing between you two? Make sure it is nothing odd when you change the name.

5/6

Conversational name taking

When you are with someone, you miss him or her in their absence. So taking their name in conversations is nothing shocking. However, since you have to keep the relationship a secret, you have to have control on your words. You cannot let his or her name slip as that may be followed by several questions.

6/6

Stay in control, be in sync with your partner

You are keeping it a secret but is your partner as well? Are you both on the same page for the same? Be sure you have had that conversation with your partner and you both are in control of what is happening.
