I am facebook ofaicifl with my boyfriend but that didn\’t happen until a couple months after we started dating. We don\’t really talk on facebook though, mostly only through skype and texting where it\’s not visible to all of our friends.\’

I'm kind of split- yeah, I think it's dumb, but it's kind of how the world works now. In my last relationship, I was "in a relationship" on Facebook, but we had technically been exclusive for a loooong while before that. Right now, I have single on there because I WANT guys to know that it's okay to approach me! If you are somewhere in between, you can just remove it all together to avoid the awkwardness.

And don't forget, whenever you change your status, you can delete in from your news feed. That way, it's on your profile, but no one can comment on it, and it's not like you are broadcasting it to the world!

[...] months of being “more than friends” you’ve made your relationship official. Like, Facebook Official. Your parents kinda know you’re seeing someone and you definitely know you have someone to [...]

Oh, dear. I'm so confused. My boyfriend and I literally JUST started dating and I was wondering about this whole facebook thing. There is no WAY I'm sending him a relationship request. I don't care if my page says single…but I don't want to say no if he asks, because then I'll know for sure that he really does like me. (To be honest I don't know how I landed him.) I hate high school, it makes everything so complicated!

I'm excited for everyone to know that we're "in a relationship"…even though most of my friends guessed that we would end up going together anyways. It's just a thing you know?

On the other hand, when we do break up (and I know we will, nothing lasts) I don't want everyone's feedback on it, I don't care what they think. THAT part I would want to keep on the low. If everyone saw it and didn't make it a huge deal, then it wouldn't be so bad.

See what I mean? The good parts can be broadcast, everyone likes that. But we'd rather keep the crappy stuff behind curtains. =/

I had this long distance friends with benefits thing going on with this guy for about 2 years and then we decided to make it official. My relationship status was (and still is) a fake marriage with a girlfriend. His, however, said "single". And idk, there's a difference between not having one at all and having it say "single" outright. Then he cheated on me a week afterward with some girl and left me for her, and now, three weeks later, his status says "in a relationship". it's not linked to her though. but yeah, seeing people "like" it and all the "congrats!" comments hurt a lot considering it's just facebook.

I've never been in a real facebook relationship, in fact I was married to a friend of mine for a year just because it was funny. Strangely enough though, I found out recently a good friend of mine was in a relationship via facebook, and I found it insulting he didn't tell me and I had to find out through the internet? It set me off the edge and I canceled facebook all together for a period.

[...] So it’s come to this now? You’re not ‘officially’ a couple until you make it ‘official’ on Facebook? – College Candy [...]

Personally, I like it. Then you know. And you know for sure. When he's cool with telling his friends, other girl friends, and whoever else is on there, you can confidently say "boyfriend" rather than "guy I'm dating."

I've had a few boyfriends before and never made them facebook official. WIth my boyfriend now i just took off my relationship status completely that makes it less awkward. What are you supposed to sit and talk about it…"hey i think we should be facebook official" I have some friends who even change their boys relationship status for them..and if that's not a psycho alarm i dont know what is. The whole thing is so 5th grade. who cares what your relationship status is you should be aware and your REAL friends know if you're dating someone or not anyways. grow up.

I went out with this girl for several months before we actually put that we were in a facebook relationship cause i really didn't care. If we were seeing each other and together it didn't matter to me. Then we mutually broke up after about a year and a half and decided to just date and see other people so she takes our relationship status down that night but we still saw each other for 2 weeks and i thought things were going to get better and we'd be back together sometime soon, then she says shes done and wants to be single. 2 days later shes in a facebook relationship with some other dude, flaunting it in my face and even changing her picture one with this new guy. I don't understand how someone can do that so quickly and flaunt it like that. it's just rude. the whole facebook relationship thing is a joke.
