    Oh and if a guy is really into you and is proud to be dating you, why wouldn't they want the world to know?

    He's not serious about it if he doesn't want everyone to know about you. Pretty straightforward.

    This is exactly what I was thinking. When a guy is into a girl, like, really into her, he wants the whole wide world to know she's HIS.

    You can call me immature, crazy, stupid, whatever...I am 37 yrs old and it was actually really important to me when I started dating my now-husband (at age 35!) for us to go facebook public. We even had a little conversation about both of us going public and of course we laughed, but I don't see what is so wrong about it.

    Your boyfriend is a noob.
    Everyone knows you need 2 facebook pages. One you SO knows about, and one they don't. I would stick with him, on the account that he's bad at cheating. That will work in your favor.

    Wow! There must be alot of OLD people on MFP. For me, if you are in a monogamous relationship and you are on FB, then both sides should automatically change their status to "in a relationship". It's not a big deal.....and it's not airing your personal life or whatever the haters are saying. If someone doesn't post that they are in a relationship, I would think something is up. Like they don't really like you as much as you think or they don't think you have a monagamous relationship or they are embarassed of you.
    HA HA HA

    I used to think this way.

    I guarantee that if you ever go through a nasty breakup that falls out publicly on Facebook you will think differently. There's absolutely nothing worse, and more heartbreaking, than being dumped online for everyone to see before you've even collected yourself after the offline breakup. Waking up to messages and phone calls from people before you've even shared what happened with your friends and family is awful.

    I will never make my relationship public on Facebook again.

    I don't declare that I'm single either. It's no one's business.

    And I am currently in a relationship with a great guy and I am in no way ashamed of him or being shady.

    Some of us are old enough to realize that Facebook is useless and completely invasive now. Mostly people use it as an excuse to stalk people they don't even care enough to keep in touch with anymore.

    It certainly doesn't have any bearing on a relationship, even though its initial design was to hook people up. If someone wants to cheat on you, they can do it even if their status is "in a relationship". Social media is a poor substitute for trust.

    He also said he would give me his facebook pass to make sure he's not cheating on me or anything. That wasn't the point in any case. It was just if he's serious about me, why hide it?

    Maybe he doesn't want his wife to know...

    Being on FB is not cool. It is becoming another electronic trailer park. IMHO, of course. :)

    I turned this option off on my Facebook. Going through a breakups is bad enough without having to publicize it to friends and family.

    Maybe he's waiting for "in a relationship with bacon" to be an option. Maybe change your name to bacon.

    its not legit unless its Facebook official!!!

    I can imagine the sex conversation.

    Guy: "babe, let's have sex tonight. "

    Girl: "how do I know you're not just using me?"

    Guy: "well, according to Facebook, we are in a relationship."

    :laugh:
