According to FemaleFirst, the findings were discovered as part of the LoveGeist Report, which was carried out by dating website Match.com.
The report also found there was an increase in the number of people partaking in some form of VDA – Virtual Display of Affection.
Almost half of those surveyed said they had logged on to a social networking site over the last month to find at least one of their friends share some form of VDA to their friends or followers.
Out of those asked, 40% said they felt annoyed or embarrassed by the expressions of love.
90% of people said they wouldn't mind a friend sharing a picture of themselves and their partner, but three out of hour women said that the biggest VDA mistake is explicit posts between couples.
When it came to break-ups, 58% of those polled said they would rather not hear when their friends are no longer in a relationship.
Kate Taylor, resident relationship expert at match.com, said: "We all like to share that tingly feeling you get at the start of a relationship. There’s nothing wrong with letting your close friends know you’re happy, but it’s important to keep in mind who you’re sharing it with.
"It’s unlikely that you’ll be close friends with everyone you interact with on social media. What might seem a sweet comment in the eyes of you and your friends could come across as sounding unintentionally smug in the eyes of an acquaintance. Remember, VDAs invite a similar reception to PDAs, while you might think nothing of a quick smooch on public transport, but it can make observers feel uncomfortable."
