For example, if you've been seeing this person for 3 months or so, rather steadily, sleeping together, ect, and their status still said SINGLE, would that offend you?
How serious do you take people's relationship statuses on social networking?

People view different types of relationships differently. If they don't want to label themselves something, that's fine. Also a lot of people put certain status' that aren't "correct", like having "married" to your best friend even if you aren't in a relationship.

I'm married. I don't care what anyone's status is. It's not like it makes a difference to me, since I'm not looking for anyone. Their relationship status is their business, not mine.
04/06/2012
I don't change my status, so I wouldn't mind if the person I'm dating didn't update theirs. Facebook is kind of weird: setting your relationship status tells several hundred people who you're dating--something we'd never do outside of Facebook. That's fine, I guess, but that also means you get to tell several hundred people when you break up.

I don't care, mine says married, but my hubby doesn't have an account so it doesnt say to who, but anyone that's on my friend list knows who I'm married to.
04/07/2012
I have never paid any attention to any of that, The status of the relationship is between the two people in the relationship.
04/07/2012
I guess it all depends on the person. I mean if i was in that situation and I was not seeing other people and he or she is then I would mind. I would want the person I am dating to be proud enough to be with me that they want others to know as well.

it depends on the context of my relationship. If we are have been monogamous for 3 months, it would irk me a bit that he wasn't acknowledging it.
04/07/2012
What people do is their business. Most of the time even when I was single I always had my status as married. I don't need extra drama that a single status brings to the table. I doubt if I was with someone for a few months, that I would update my status from single, but some would. It is their choice.

You're basically saying if it's someone I'M with, would I want them to change their online status? Yes... but I wouldn't make a huge deal about it until I think something funny is going on.

It really depends on how much you use it. If you're not on it a lot, it shouldn't really matter that much.

I don't change my status either. A relationship is personal and I prefer the privacy over the "awws" and facebook likes.

At 3 months, I would be a little offended...
04/13/2012
Pretty serious bro! Serious business!
04/13/2012
I think it's stupid to change it at all. I don't like the idea of people that you rarely see being let in on personal details of your life like when you are or aren't in a relationship, and who wants everyone to be alerted when you break up? It's totally unnecessary.
04/13/2012
I might be a little offended if they refused to change it but otherwise it doesn't matter to me much. I don't have any relationship status being displayed on my Facebook but I've been in a serious monogamous relationship with someone for 5 years. Those who know me know that I'm with him and I love him and those who don't...well then they don't need to know.

I would be interested in knowing why that person hadn't changed it but then I feel silly for even writing that

I could care less. I rarely visit FaceBook ever.
04/13/2012
I don't take it seriously at all. I use it, but it can get really silly and petty if the couple fights...
04/18/2012
serious i guess

Depends a lot, but if it was something that bothered me, I'd say something. I've had enough people complain, then when they said something to their partner, got an "oh, forgot I didn't change that."
06/15/2012
It depends. Did we decide we were exclusive? If we have and it's just blank, no issue. If it says single, I'd talk to them about it, maybe say, "hey, did you realize that your Facebook says you're single?" Chances are, they didn't even realize or think about it. My girlfriend doesn't use any social networks except LinkedIn. I think it's probably better that way.
06/15/2012
Well, I guess it depends really. It's good to know if someone is married or dating or whatever, but in the end, if it doesn't affect me, I don't care. I do prefer to have my status clear so I don't get randomly hit on but that doesn't seem to prevent some idiots from still doing it
06/15/2012
I guess it would depend on how they view your relationship. IE, is it a relationship to them? I mean, just because I sleep with someone, doesn't mean I have a relationship with them. If it really bothers you, I would talk to them.
