When Is The Right Time to Go "Facebook Official?"?

[Anonymous]

How long should you wait before you change your relationship on Facebook, where the entire public can see?

As Soon As You Start Dating

1-2 weeks

2-4 weeks

1-3 month (s)

3-6 months

Over 6 months

How about NEVER? You start advertising your relationship on social media, prepare for it to end on social media. Only do so if that is what you and HIM personally want. If you feel that going official on social media is important to you for your steps of commitment, then you will have to be with somebody who thinks like you. Something like this should NEVER be the basis on ones relationship. If both of you want to declare it out of you genuine love to share with the world, then by all means, do so when both of you feel ready. There is no time frame. It may last after 6 months, and it can END before 6 months. So it's one's choice.

Honestly I wouldn't/didn't/don't plan on doing so myself. seeing that we're both around the same age range, Facebook isn't really that "cool" anymore. I personally use Facebook as a way to communicate with family/family friends. Keep your status unchanged- neither to single nor taken.
Update your status on Instagram instead by writing the date you became official or his initials in your bio. You could also just post pictures with your SO on there for the public to see that you're dating.

It think its childish to announce it on Facebook like do you think that you 3,000+ Friends on Facebook care if your single or not I don't see the point when people do things like that. You post pics for 6 months then when the relationship ends you have to delete them online and some people will wonder what happened then you do it again with a next guy. I don't see the sense in it really but you could give it 6 months.

[DaniHodge]

I said 1-3 months, but honestly it's whenever you feel like you think you're serious enough to post about it! It could be 1 week, 2 hours, 5 minutes for crying out loud and you think, "Hey. I REALLY like this person and I want to make us Facebook official" As long as you're both are comfortable with it, it's okay!

[pervertedjester]

I don't put too much info on FB because of the targeted advertising so no matter what I mislead them with something like this pics.onsizzle.com/...lationship-status-3050155.png

[Lethiferous]

its just a website there aren't any rules. discuss things with your partner and find out what you guys think is right or not

[NyomiMcClinton]

Over 6 months. I would not do it so soon because its still in the honeymoon phase. I never was a big fan of putting relationships on social media. All it does it keep people in your relationship.

[MrNameless]

. Relationships on FB are not worth publicizing in my opinion.. Too personal and flat out embarrassing when you have a 50% chance its gonna fail, unless you get married or you've been dating for like a year

[Zer0Ghost]

It's weird seeing this as a concept of being time-based, rather than "when one of you has asked the other to be their bf/gf/partner"

[Kitten967]

Whenever you feel ready to. Me and my fiance went Facebook official after a couple of weeks of been together. He wanted to tell his family in person before we put it on Facebook

[mellough1]

How long have you been with your fiancé

[Kitten967]

We have been together 2 years and 2 months now

[mellough1]

You still have a crush on him?

[Kitten967]

Yeah I do

[mellough1]

That's nice

[mellough1]

Does he have one on you

[Kitten967]

Yeah he does

[LavenderSkies]

It differs from person to person and when the two of you agree to become Facebook official, my boyfriend and I were Facebook official about 2-3 weeks after being together

[lilpixie]

I would not put my relationship status on Facebook at all. Some things are just nobody's business on Facebook.

[RealandGenuine1991]

It's none of fakebooks business... that's what's wrong with some folks, they wanna share their entire life online.

[Dim1213]

Good question I'm wondering that myself but it all depends when you two become exclusive I think. Or in your case boyfreind and girlfreind.

[Anonymous]

Why is this relevant? How about you work on having a relationship that NEVER requires you to ask the above question, then maybe you can call it "official".

[Chanel1981]

I don't have a relationship status on FB. Anyone who knows me knows what's going on

[rivjanel]

I honestly wouldn't even update it. If people cared about it they might as well ask.

[loveout]

not the kind of thing i feel i need to share with the world.

[MarcoIsAFailure]

The better question is: Who uses facebook? And why should I set a relationship status at all?

[desireee512]

I don't share that stuff online and I don't even use Facebook no more.

[Jacksbear]

Facebook is overrated. I could not care less about anything

[KittyBox]

Probably never, you're in a relationship with just you and him, the whole world don't need to know, it's none of their business.

[admles]

Don't.

Keep your relationship status private, it is not anyone's business.

[BayPirate]

Millenial?

[Asker]

Yes hehe

[BayPirate]

Forget about that. Live your relationship status always blank.

[Asker]

But otherwise people hit on you/try to set you up and unless you update it they w9nt believe you which is Annoying

[BayPirate]

Dont make other people problems your problem

[Lman3000]

Where the option for who care's? Or "Don't"

[apple24]

No just no

[Robsinsf53]

When you both agree.

[jesusnicolas97]

Around 3 months

[up_here]

[josiah16]

never until married

[Halucinator]

1-3 months is fine
