View Full Version : You know it serious when the facebook status is changed to 'in a relationship'...
...that isn't you.
Oops, I kinda messed up :o I have issues.
But it makes thing simpler for me I suppose. Facebook huh? even though I don't mean to it does become a serious stalker tool.
I am smiling right now though.
Also, I am sorry that I am doing yet another facebook thread - I know these are pretty tired already.

oh wait, except one time I used it to say that I was in an open relationship with Robert Zimmerman :o
I think its partly to get at me a little. Well maybe not, but obviously plays into my ego a bit, like the day after I fuck up. Eh, I won't bite though (although I nearly did).

Who takes that seriously?
I was "In a relationship" with my friend who's a guy for a few weeks.
the subtext is that I'm not taking it all that serious but its a tool to use to get at some1 or put little niggles in their mind is kinda what I am saying.
Also, just thought - are any of you chumps Mark Smith? He asked me for friendship a while back and I had no clue who it was so ignored but I thought it could be some1 here? e-friends are a lot better than real-friends (y)

Ah - thanks, and I knew his name was Mark as well. I'll go back in search of him - sorry dude.

I'm not facebook friends with anyone from the internet.
I like keeping e-friends and real-life friends seperate.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Bitch didn't even change hers when she was seeing me. I did laugh at the guy she's seeing now though so I guess there was some good that came from it, haha. What a chump.

Can't you play her game and change your status to be "In a relationship" with one of your hot frineds?

I've been typing a two paragraph email to her on and off for nearly an hour now - but I've drank half a bottle of whisky so I saved it in drafts to send it at a more sober time.
But the story goes; Its that girl I've met from here ages ago and we hooked up again on my recent travels - I fell for her again more than I would of ever expected and she did me but she was kinda seeing some1 - well, because I was a little jealous and some1 else came into my life here - I said some things that have been misunderstood but I haven't tried to explain because its split us in a way that gives us space - that is when she changed to 'in a relationship' earlier today which I'm not sure if it is for my benefit or not? Officially we've always been 'friends' while we sort our head/hearts out. So anyway, I fucked up because of me being jealous but when I saw that on face-crack without really a word to me first, it kinda made me smile while at the same time going 'oh'.
I really don't want to get into a game of trying to play off each other. There is also I chance she may read this thread but I've put nothing in here I wouldn't mind her reading so much... well maybe, but anyway. I don't want to play that game.
Thank god for whisky though, not sure I'd of survived the evening without it (y)

a girl i know was in a relationship but changed it to 'single' status, her bf saw it and asked her if they should break up
she said yeah, he said ok
he probably would still think he is in a relationship without mr facebook

I hid my status. word of mouth travels fast enough for me. and anyone who might be stalking me will understand what no longer displaying "single" means.
my boo ain't even on f'book anyway.
honestly, I think it's kind of weird to have to be all, so-and-so is in a relationship with so-and-so. my male BFF had that with his ex, and when they broke up, it showed in his feed or whatever...and people were all commenting on it and being like, "what?! what happened?!" and that's just too much man. what are you even supposed to say to that?
Gives me an idea actually. I could pick some mutual friends who are a couple and update my status to say "is sad about Pete and Jane breaking up - they was such a lovely couple" and see what happens.
I may even be able to instigate a break up
- oh, I was just going on what Pete said.
Ha! So gonna do this.
haha, just wait to you see the most recent pics of me.
Oh dear :rolleyes:

Wait, what? someone from the board?
Yeah, she doesn't post here anymore but her name was GenerationILL, we met up in 2001 and lost contact soon after but she wrote to me last year and we met up again on my recent travels.
I have such a boner for her though - like no other person has given me a boner and I can't help being a retard because of it. So yeah.
hehe, sorry to self bump my issues or whatever but this made me smile
the status has been changed to 'is in a complicated relationship'.
Awww man, I'm so retarded for her - but its so stupid cus I am so far away...
...eh, whatever. I shouldn't be putting these thoughts public. facebook politics is dragging me in, I've always been kinda anti-facebook but I am almost on the site everyday now :o

I might change my status "it's complicated" again... we'll see what the other part thinks of it first....

I don't really understand the "it's complicated" status. it seems like it only means that you're about to break up with someone, and in that case, why bother even having a status?
or like, maybe you're knocked up and have a baby daddy, but are cooling your jets as far as dating goes?
or you're dating 4 people at once?

the it's complicated status is essentially tagging your soon to be ex.
the situation with my brother that I told some of you about, and how it all unfolded on facebook for the world to see, the sister -in-law updates her status from "Married" to "It's Complicated With".
that automatically updated my brother's profile to say the same thing. that's when all the people come out of the woodwork to feign concern. it's a public statement of such a private event, I just don't see the point in it all.
attention whoring.
well all this drama got me to finally sign up so I could see this trainwreck happen before my eyes.
I'm leaving my status out of this mess.

I don't have facebook. Does it make you have a status? It seems completely stupid.
Dorothy Wood
10-04-2009, 01:30 PM
you can hide your status. I kept "single" up before, just in case any cute boys were wondering if I was available. ;)
but now I hid it instead of changing it. I'd actually like to change it to "in a relationship" just to get rid of the singles ads on the side bar. but then hide it. but I don't know if it would show and then be hidden or what?
I've never put any info of myself on there - I didn't even bother with school information until recently as I thought that was too much... not sure if I removed it again actually. Wouldn't put my job up there either, its just too easy for people to find me.
Its kinda why I love twitter, it doesn't pry into your life as much as the others - just random thoughts and stupid statements and if you do want to tell someone what you are up to, you can and if they are interested they can respond, if not its easier to ignore.
Anyway, yeah - I didn't know there was a 'its complicated' option but man, it doesn't help me stop wondering, stop thinking or stop me wanting to hit the 'like' button on it. heh. I'm such a voyeur - I feel dirty but I like it.

here are the options they give you:
Single
In a Relationship
Engaged
Married
It's Complicated
In an Open Relationship
Widowed
or nothing at all
I should do mine to 'open'. Or maybe I'll petition facebook to have a 'open complicated relationship' option.

son of a bitch, I just got a friend request from a dude I dated last summer.
I guess this is where the status comes in handy. damn damn damn.

I never listed my relationship status at all but my ex used to have his set as "in a relationship" and he didn't change it for maybe six months after we broke up. He didn't tell many people we were over (doesn't see why other people should know until they need to, he has a point) and the downside of him keeping it for that long meant the gossip went on about us forever and his mates thought we he was still doing me without the peskiness of being my boyfriend. I hated the thought that people were talking about something that was none of their business and speculating about what we were doing and why I 'put up' with it...It's shit and I won't change mine ever.
