Oh golly. Breaking up over the relationship status on FB? Juvenile, my dear. Juvenile. I'd assume you were under the age of 14, but you say he's seen you with another "man," so I'm reeeeeeeeeally hoping you're not a minor.

Are you serious? I'm not sure I can even answer this question. If you said match.com, maybe, just maybe we'd have something to speak of, but facebook? I dunno bout you but even if I met the love of my life, I do NOT change the status on myspace, facebook, whatever. My business is mine and mine alone.

The only time I have changed that status is when someone's bothering me for dates and I'm not interested. Now, if you're worried about him cheating and think announcing his status on facebook will change that tendency, stay broken up. It won't work.

I never hear anything good coming from any of these sites. It all sounds like High School. Sorry Vixens, I know people use it to stay in touch...but the only time I ever hear about it is in situations like this.

Anon, find something real to worry about.

I'm on your side, Girl. Why not change the status? I mean if he is your boyfriend then his status has changed. To me, it's being a liar not to make it known on places where people are tramping around in search of love.

And another thing, here we all are on the net gossiping about celebs and boyfriends and everything else under the sun. Almost every one on this site is guilty of engaging in immature behavior. Meow, girls.

You broke up with
the dude JUST because he didn't
proclaim your relationship
on Facebook??

Mmm...

That's not totally cool.
How could you let something
so teeny tiny bother you THAT much?

Who caresss.

Facebook means nothing.

However...he's a dork for disputing it.
The entire situation is silly.

Tell him to man up...and deal with it.
BUT...if it really does bother you...don't get
back together again. Because it will continue to lead
to problems. And it just isn't worth it.

No way Bonnie! I'm totally mature and would never do something immature like google-stalk exes or make prank phone calls! Even when I was 28 12 I never did that! :-PPPPPPPPP

I'm with Bonnie on this one. Some people use facebook as a "match.com" sort of site.

I also think it's extremely disrespectful of him not to change his status after you asked.

You can talk it out with him if you want to ... but I think you need to work out your own happiness factor a bit more first. With that in mind: Never, ever date anyone unless they are so crazy about you they can barely stand it. Never let them see you sweat. And practice the 11-Day Man Cure on a daily basis (not to be taken literally ... it is a way of life ... make fun a priority)

I agree with Bonnie and Maggie only because if it bothers you this much and you've asked, he should be more considerate.

I can't give advise re myspace, facebook, etc bc I haven't a club re this type of thing.....ugh, feel old but then don't care....

please send me this man's email so i can tell him you are insane or twelve and that if he goes out with you i will make sure he goes to jail for dating an insane minor.

I'm not 12 but I agree that he should change it. And simply for the fact that I have heard my shady guy friends say that they don't want to change their status when they start dating a girl cause they want other girls to still think they are single.

So basically, your guy is not ready to give up his single status. He should be estatic to change his facebook to "In a relationship with "your name." And if he was, he would have done it by now.

what the crap. seriously.

So it's Facebook, Myspace, Friendster whateve...I can see both sides of this argument. Yea, it's kind of stupid to even worry about it because it's the internet, and you obviously have some sort of relationship in real life.

But at the same time, why can't he just change it? Especially if you have brought it to his attention and it bothers you.

The only thing I can say is possibly try to let this one slide...even if you are worried he is talking to other chicks on there...you're the one in the real-life relationship with him! I'd say just enjoy what you have and go with it! = )
