annoying?
if it's not there, it's 87% gonna be because they are gay. if it is there, it's just irritating anyway. then there's the people who have it listed and if they go on a minor break or get annoyed at their spouse or something they'll change it immediately, so it ends up going "listed as in a relationship" "listed as single" "no longer listed as single" "in an open relationship" "it's complicated" like primary school romance or something
I'm always single
so I forget it exists
Until one of my luckier, more charming & confident friends get lucky *emo-centric*
I am too *emo tear etc...*
but say I see someone for a week, I wouldn't change it. some seem to just use it to prove they can touch other people's bits.
Oh I wouldnt touch it
till i'm confident I was in a proper relationship, otherwise it would of changed a couple times this year.
mine is destined never to change
</violins>
I feel your pain <3
*emo-tear*

Here ya go dear

score!
doesn't everyone put it
that they're married to their best friend?
I'ts just to keep the backbone of 'dating site' which holds up myspace and facebook and is their true self.
People who claim to be married to their best friends
lack originality that its more creative to actually have it set to your ACTUAL partner.
I'm guessing
you got annoyed at a girl you like's status prompting this post. And I'm not gay and I haven't got a status, just because it's slightly shameful to have 'single' up for years at a time. Or it might be there in tiny font somewhere.
hah
I didnt, honest, though if you knew me you'd probably have guessed the same as Im exactly like that.
I guess yr one of the 13%. Most of my gay or clearly in the closet mates have no "interested in" status.
its a tricky business
like at the beginning of a relationship, when do you switch your status?! (i remember not wanting to bring it up in conversation for fear of sounding stupid to my then-new boyfriend)
also, when you break up with someone, you have to click on a button which says "cancel relationship?", it seems so brutal. Yep, cancelled, end of.
hah
this is the thing, I've only had facebook a little while and not really been in any kind of relationship since bar the odd drunken fumble, but some people I know put "in a relationship" after about two dates with another person (who presumably isn't on their mates list yet) It seems a bit presumptous unless you've had the "are we going out now?" talk.
when i first got facebook
i was already going out with someone. so that was ok. then the breakup- that was a pretty solid cancellation, none of this 'its complicated' stuff. then with the now-boyfriend we didn't change the facebook status for MONTHS which leaves me all confused when it comes to the very important 'how long have you been together' question...! so technical!
^ me and my ex
only got the facebook thing after ten months...
I prefer not having mine showing
for whatever reason.
It was a bit odd 'cancelling' my previous, and felt it would be a bit harsh to set it to 'single' straight after, and just didn't get round to putting it back.
The most accurate description most of the time would probably be 'it's complicated'.
I like to use it
to show off the fact that I've got a brilliant girlfriend :)
:) i too enjoy using it for this
RE: commandercool
:D
<3
This is why I don't have my relationship status listed anymore
a potential minefield if I were ever to manage to convince someone to go out with me again.
Me
bringing up this signalled the beginning of the end of my last embryonic relationship, booooo!
yes, the 'its complicated' thing
is a bitch, I'm like: fuck off!not all our internet friends need to know we've had an argument! silly!
I dont have anything selected for 'intersted in'. do you think I should? I just dont want it to come up on the news feed as: 'Helen Saunders is interseted in MEN'
:(
I dont care
if people know I'm in a relationship or not - thats why I dont publish it.
sigh
HEY KLARE LET'S SAY WE'RE MARRIED ON FACEBOOK
IT'LL BE SO JOKE!
i hate people who do that.
okay!
You can put your own name
in the "it's complicated" field.
(your name) it's complicated with (your name)
Perfect.
My life is just about ALWAYS
'complicated'
my friend requested to be 'married to' me :((((((((((
I DIDN'T HAVE THE HEART TO SAY NO, even though I hate people who do that.
she'd just been dumped, and set it straight away to be married to me.
I don't know how to set it to single without my friend thinking I don't like her OMGFACEBOOKMAKESLIFESOHARD.
I think I'll just cancel it and add a jokey "It was never gonna work out anyway, lolz!" comment.
what a dilemma, eh?
Divorced?
haha, no.
a change to 'single' accompanied by a wall post reading "our marriage just wasn't working out :'''''''''''''''(
i have arnold schwarzenegger films for tomorrow!"
phew.
that was a tough one to pull off.
He's never going to look at this thread
So I can say whatever I want about him!
Bamos is a dickhead! :)
and...
he drinks piss, straight from the cock!
Yeah
It depresses me to think of a friend sitting in their bedroom and "getting over" their recently ended relationship by making a determined click on "Change relationship status" and listening to romantic music and crying over "Ex-boyfriend(photos)"
i had mine
as married for ages cause i found it funny. I had to change it because all my old school friends kept asking who I'd married. :(
'It's complicated' is my personal favourite. wish there was a 'dont ask' option! xxx
It's not there for me
I'm not gay
It can be useful to distinguish whether people you fancy have partners
but at the same time, if (as people I know do) you have a partner and wish to do the dirty, Facebook statuses can be your undoing. One friend did such a thing, the girl he doinked found out he had a girlfriend, messaged her to tell her what had happened and he got dumped. Enough to put the fear of God into anyone considering it.
just don't use it
makes everything a lot easier.
i used to know a guy
who somehow managed to get his to say "in a relationship with several hot girls." it was amusing, in a very egotistical way.
