Facebook official

Today, after dating my girlfriend for about a month, she changed her Facebook status to taken. When I saw the update, I immediately clicked "Like." Then I looked up and saw I wasn't the person she had put herself in a relationship with. FML

Today, I had a date with a girl I'd been seeing for about a month. When I got home, I saw her Facebook status changed to "In a relationship." This made me kind of excited, until I realized it wasn't with me. FML

Today, I told my girlfriend over MSN that we had to talk. I log on to facebook and the first thing I see is that she changed our relationship from "In a Relationship" to "It's Complicated." FML

Today, I saw the girl I had started dating changed her Facebook relationship status to "In a relationship". Naturally, I changed mine too. The next time I logged on, she had commented, "Really?! Who?!" She was serious. FML

Today, my girlfriend changed her relationship status on Facebook to 'It's Complicated' because I didn't give her my last cookie. This happens all the time. FML

Today, I was talking to my girlfriend on Facebook. She's in the forces, and it was her birthday. I asked her if she liked the flowers I sent her. She thanked me, then asked if she could remove our relationship status. When I asked why, she said, "It's not like we're really going out anymore." FML

Stereotypes

Today, my girlfriend's Facebook relationship status was changed to single. When I tried to ask her about, she told me she's a lesbian now. Her mullet should've been a clue. FML

I've been with my man for almost 7 years. We've never updated our statuses online. I guess it's all been a lie this whole time.

If you're dating a girl who takes "facebook official" that seriously, think about if you really want to date her anyway

Marry her and she'll need a selfie and hashtags at the altar or it won't be real.

And this is one of the main reasons I flat out refuse to have a Facebook account...

I don't think you need Facebook to make it official but on the other hand I also don't think 3 months is that long for a "trial period"... Next time remember to talk about it to avoid misunderstandings!

dating and social media these days shouldn't correlate. I mean that going to the point and saying that you two are not dating till she changes her fb status is a bit ridiculous . that would be a personal deal breaker for me.

I agree, all this means is that untill it is online where others can call them out for it they could be sleeping around. If a website means more than a person they are dating in every sense but "facebook official", then that person is not worth the hassle or commitment.
