Is your bf/ on FB regularily? If so, hmm. I know when I was dating my, now husband, he didn' tuse FB hardly ever however he did accept my " in a relationship with my name here" update. When he propose a few months later, HE brought it up for me to be sure to change my status to "engaged to his name". I'd say as long as he's claiming you as his girlfriend to all his friends and family that 's a good sign. I think what would be telling is sending him an update request to approve " I'm in a relationship with your name here" . If he has a problem with claiming you publicily, then I'd be concerned. I know for me and my now husband, he wanted to be sure the world knew I was his and he hardly uses FB. Just sayin...
I dated a guy who refused to change his Facebook status for almost a year, it was because he was lying to himself about dating me and didn't want to admit it to the world.
I dated another guy who didn't change his Facebook status (it said single of all things, lol, mine said nothing) and it was just because he didn't use Facebook a whole lot and didn't really care about it.
So if he's treating you like a girlfriend, telling people you're his girlfriend, taking you out and basically doing everything right except changing his Facebook status, you should probably worry less.
Okay I see why you'd feel hurt. I would too but some guys may not want to advertise their relationship. They might not find it as significant to say 'in a relationship' on Facebook as much you do. It might not be as important to him that everyone has to see that they two of you are in a relationship. He could just be happy with u, family and friends knowing. I don't think you should look too far into it. Maybe one day bring it up casually? Who knows, he might actually think that way it might not be so important.
Does he deny he's dating you to his family? His friends? Your friends?
Does he only take you on dates where you'll never be seen?
If the answer is no, then relax. He obviously cares about you. He just doesn't care about Facebook.
And there are literally millions of people in the world who couldn't give a sh*t about Facebook.
He also doesn't want to share being single, married or complicated on Facebook. Because the relevant people know already anyway. And everyone else doesn't care. So what's the point?

OHYMGOSH IT'S A FACEBOOK STATUS.
It's one thing if his status says single, but it doesn't show. Mine doesn't either. I simply don't think that is anybody's information - those who SHOULD know, will know directly from me, and those who would need to find out through Facebook don't need to know my personal life.
Does he share it with his friends and family? Those he actually sees and knows?
I think you need to figure out whether you appreciate HIM or the relationship more. Are you only with him so you can brag about it and tell people? Why isn't HE enough for you? Why do you need it to be Facebook official?
I don't think he doesn't care about you. He probably just doesn't find it important enough to tell his Facebook peeps that he's in a relationship. That doesn't mean he doesn't find you important though. Some people just don't find the importance in it. I think it's cute though to show your status and I'm so glad my boyfriend shows it on his but there are other cute couples out there too who never openly show they're in a relationship. Don't be upset or hurt! As long as it's not on "single" then there is no reason to be worried.
If he's not telling his family and friends about your relationship, then it's time to worry. If he would still be "single" on Facebook, I wouldn't like it either. But if it says nothing, I don't think you should be worried or upset.
It's just Facebook, even though I know some people think it's kind of a "big deal".
You could put your status "in a relationship with ..." and send a request or as Facebook does that.
this is why Facebook is a problem. if he doesn't have a relationship status at all that is for a reason. I don't either. it doesn't say single, so I think you are overdramatizing. remember, some people are private and don't like their entire lives up on Facebook.
nobody really cares about that on Facebook he's probably too lazy to change his status I'm sure he still likes you
i wold NEVER share my relationship status on something as dumb, fake and exhibitionist as Facebook--not even if I got married at the Sistine Chapel... I wouldn't let this be an issue.
FACT: Women like to talk much more than men
FACT: Women spend their time caring about what other people think
FACT: Women love taking photos but hate how they look
FACT: Facebook is $$$$$
Don't. There are much too many reasons other than what you think. I've never changed my status because my parents are sort of conservative. Just try askin him why he doesnt change it, so you can get the doubts out of your head
He's a private person. Don't get so hung up on it.
