I have been dating this guy for few weeks only but things feel serious already.

 

We are now in a relationship. I am still hesitant to change my status and would prefer to wait and see how things go first...

 

How long did it take you to change yours?

Well, he used to be listed as "single" and he has de-listed himself as single yesterday. He still didn't put "in a relationship with..."

 

I discussed it with him this morning (in a very rational manner) and we both agreed to wait few more weeks before we make it FB official.

 

I am completely happy with that, almost relieved as I haven't told many people yet and would rather do that first.

Glad to see that things are going well for you, since a few days ago you said you were cursed with being a 6.5 and no man would every fall in love with you ;)

I didn't, and my last LTR lasted several years. I just didn't have any relationship status listed and nor did she. Real friends knew, and we didn't see any need to hold up a sign for the other few hundred people we know on facebook - facebook just isn't that important.

Well, some dude rejected me for NSA sex and it really did a number on my self-esteem.

Changed it after a month. He hasn't changed his, but he doesn't care for FB. Not a worry for me, considering he used a photo I took as his profile pic.

Most people I know don't bother changing their relationship status. But I think that's more because I'm still in college and most college relationships seem to be very fragile, at least when my friends are involved.

 

I changed my status the night that we became a couple. I wasn't going to at first, but then I realized that I was listed as "single" and I didn't want him to get mixed signals about how I felt about our new relationship. So I changed it..and he followed suit when he got on an hour later, apparently for the same exact reason. We didn't put that we were in a relationship with one another though for another three months.

I wonder what NSA guy would think if he saw you changed your status to IAR just a few days after you offered NSA sex to him. :eek:

I didn't anticipate that things would develop as quickly as they did with my now bf. If NSA guy accepted my offer - I would turn him down now given the latest development.

 

I haven't had any contact with NSA guy since he rejected me (a week ago) but I still have him as a friend on FB. I am pretty sure he doesn't give a f... either way.

you should leave it at single so that you don't miss any better "opportunities"

BF and I changed ours at the same time; it was a couple of weeks in. I could've waited longer as I wanted him to be comfortable enough with it to initiate it.

Given my atrocious R history, I am probably better off waiting....

Far to much focus is put on this FB stuff, it is superficial arse. You've only been with him a few weeks, just enjoy yourself instead of analysing something that means nothing in reality.

Heh, I saw you on OKC and you probably saw my profile too.

 

Glad to hear that you are over it. It's funny how these things feel completely heart breaking at the time and then it's like they never happened.

It only took me a couple weeks to change my status when I got together with my bf - but he's wonderful and I'm crazy about him. I'd be more reluctant if the guy in question was less amazing and perfect - it took me about three months to change my status for my ex.

I kind of regret pushing him a bit to change the status.

 

I only got the idea when he changed his from single to nothing. So I asked him if he is ready to change it properly. He said not yet because he has had bad past experiences with getting embarrassed by changing R status too quickly and things not working out.

 

I back tracked and said that I can be impulsive but having thought things through, completely agree with what he said.

 

He is def rational, cool headed and logical type.

 

I hope that my suggestion didn't scare him off.

Well, we were already living together when we joined FB, and all our real friends knew we were partners. We both left our statuses blank; I changed mine to Engaged after we got officially engaged with the ring and all, he didn't change his until a couple weeks after we were married :laugh:. Neither of us ever had "in a relationship with". He's just not an avid FB kind of guy, likes to maintain high levels of privacy, etc. I never thought too much about it, but I probably would have been annoyed if he hadn't changed his status to Married at some point.

I don't even use that part of FB, I don't want anyone knowing anything about it.

My bf wanted to change ours right away, he was soo excited.

 

If it were up to me, I probably would have waited a week or so at least. Our change happened within minutes.

 

I didn't want to accept so quickly but decided to because, whatever.

 

haha.
