Is changing a relationship status on FB a big deal?

[SunnyDee21]

My boyfriend and I are starting to get really serious, and hardly any of my friends know because I don't see them often. So I want to be "In a relationship with him" on Facebook. But he keeps saying okay I'll do it later I'll do it later.

What are your thoughts about relationships on fb?

Am I getting annoying by keep asking him?

I don't think people should make a big deal out of Facebook, however not changing your status still sends a bad message. It makes it seem like he is either ashamed of being in a relationship with you or he doesn't want other girls to know he's in one. As much as I don't think people should make a big deal out of Facebook, I also don't see what's the big deal about changing your status if your happy and proud to be in your relationship. Change your status and see if that motivates him, he might want you to do it first. If not, I'd talk to him about it, there may be a bigger issue.

i already changed it, all he had to do was approve it. and he went on today and changed his status from single to married. it doenst maka ny sense. I asked him who he was married to joking around and he said you. but he didn't send me anything. I asked him to do so becasue its important to me but he still hasn't done it:/

Well Facebook is a site that allows your friends acess to see your personal life much more so than normally. That being said, your boyfriend could either be afraid to do so or ashamed. Either way, you should ask him this because when things gets serious and you ask him to do so then he should because its a way to show your love by giving it a little coming out thing, ya know.

Hopefully he is just forgetful and if this is the case then its ok

:) Just ask him

I think that relationships of Facebook are a little weird sometimes. Broadcasting it to everyone just seems kind of odd. My boyfriend and I had a conversation about it, and he totally gets and is fine with me not having it on Facebook. My friends and people I am close to know, so why does everyone. Some people disagree with me though. I think you should talk about it with him, but really it's not a big deal.

I think it's important to have it on fb especially if you're in high school mainly because it prevents other guys from thinking you're single and going after you, a lot of harm can be prevented if you simply say you're in a relationship on fb. Oh and you should just do it yourself because he probably doesn't care enough to actually get around to putting it on fb.

he wants you to do it first. it makes him feel more comfortable doing it himself, like he's not pushing the relationship

i already changed my status to into a realtionship. but he just hasn't gotten on to apporve it yet

[Anywayysss]

perhaps he hasn't gotten online in a while. how long has it been?

[SunnyDee21]

like two three days. he changed his status today, and his relationship status from single to married. but didn't send me a thing. so I was like wth

[Anywayysss]

i would ask him about it just becuase it went from single to "married" which is unusual.

My relationship on FB didn't change until my girlfriend went on my Facebook and changed it herself. I don't care for those things.
