I don't use FB so no worries there.
I gave into Google+ for awhile -- it seemed innocent at first -- until it became apparent that Google+ was sharing at least some info about me, as well. Not wanting to go through the entire privacy-protecting exercise with Google+, too.
But what could Google possibly share about you if you don't put any info in your G+ profile? I'm saying just setup an account to make things easier with Google. You don't have to put any details in there if you don't want to.
