Do I update my status on Facebook when I’m in a relationship? Honestly, I didn’t think that was a question to make or break a person… but no I don’t. Not until the person earns a status on my Facebook.
First off, I don’t even do much with my Facebook, it’s basically a photo album and way to keep in touch with people from my past that I don’t see regularly.
Second, I’m not going to update my status after a month of dating someone. You need to pass the three month rule first; three months of you sticking around in my life and I’ll move you into my Facebook life.
Third, why does everyone need to know my business? If anyone really cares to know my relationship status, here is a genius idea….how about you ask me! I’m not trying to find anyone to date on Facebook so I don’t find it necessary to post that the second I start “officially” seeing a person exclusively. Not to say that I’m trying to hide a relationship and I can see how people may think that but if you know me well enough you know that’s not the case. So, really there is no concern with this.
Then I got asked “Well what if you were dating Aaron Rodgers, would you put it up then?”
Ok let me just clarify, that’s a little farfetched and since that is something you could only figure out once you’re in that situation, for the time being I’d still say I’m sticking with my original answer and I don’t really know if I would want any more advertisement if that were the case. I try to steer clear of the drama. Also I feel if I let all my Facebook friends see this, I’d have loads more NEW besties wanting to hang out.
“So you aren’t proud to show off to people who you’re dating?”
Didn’t say that. I’m not into crazy PDA but I don’t mind being out and about and playing the cute couple. I just don’t need to display it online. However, I would not be proud to show the world that I’m dating a guy who is more on and off than a light switch. Thank you very much. I will be proud to show the world when he decides to stick around (which the privilege to ever come back into my life again has been taken away for good) so that won’t be happening.
How many times have we seen a relationship status change five times a week?
In a relationship.
Engaged.
Single.
In a relationship.
Complicated.
…..And the next day they are married to their best friend.
I really have no desire to have everyone see my every move. Every now and then I’ll post the random check in, or a status but I go about a month in between all my activity. Without Facebook, my life would be a mystery to everyone I do not normally hang out with anyways. They wouldn’t know where I work, where I was Tuesday night and who I was or was not dating.
Then how about when the person you’re dating doesn’t even have a Facebook and THEY are the ones upset you don’t update your relationship status. Now, I would definitely like to know why this someone, who goes MIA every other month for about a month or two is so worried about me not posting my relationship when it’s not going to be the same in a few weeks.
Is this conversation really happening? It’s almost laughable.
The minute I gave in and was ready to change my status, we broke up.
POINT PROVEN
