I'm in a distance relationship and my boyfriend said he doesn't want to change his relationship status on facebook after us meeting and being together for 2 weeks, saying that he's not very social and he doesn't want to explain to people about dating a foreign chick. He says he wants us to be in a relationship and he's taking it seriously, he doesn't want to cheat or anything, but it just seems to me like he's embarassed to tell people that we're together. How do you guys feel about changing your relationship status on facebook?

    I never like posting my relationships on Facebook. I've never had a long distance one, but I still never appreciated the broadcasting of a relationship or a (potential) break up. Maybe he's the same way?

    That's not really a good sign.

    I'm still single on FB but my girlfriend doesn't have a FB account so what she doesn't know won't hurt her, it's nice to have all those women still throw themselves at me and flirt with all of them!

    That's cause for a breakup. Facebook relationship status is serious and should not be discounted as something that is not important. Facebook is EVERYTHING!

    Hey, I heard you got yourself a new guy friend lately, as long as your status isn't changed on FB, it's not cheating!

    I'll never change my FB status to "in a relationship with", until they allow me to list everyone I'm "in a relationship with." It's only fair. Don't want to leave anyone out.

    IDK dont let FB drama get to you. I mean you could tag him in photos of the two of you if you kind of wanted to do it underhanded, and let the side women know youre an item.

    I changed my status to 'in a relationship' once...then I felt like a dork when I had to change it back to 'single'. I wouldn't change it again unless I got married or engaged.

    ^this.

    Seriously??? you are worried about his FB status??? Have you ever been through a break up while having your reltationship status on FB? ever have to deal with all the drama and comments when it goes from "in a relationship" to "single"????

    If FB is dictating your emotions this much, time to deactivate gurl.
