Someone asked a question on a topic regarding faebook and relationship status. I saw this sometime today.

Tonight I saw a South Park episode on Facebook that is ohh so true....

Stan doesnt want a faebook profile but his friend set one up anyway. Then people are bugging him about being acepted as friends.

Wendy is attacking Stan based on who his friends are and on his relationship status not being with her by saying he is single.

This will be on the air again on Thursday at 10 PM ET and PT.

The past couple months I've watched as several friends shifted status to "relationship", "engaged", even one couple to "married".

This week I've seen two drop to single ...

Personal opinion but, Facebook is going to cause you a lot more problems in your life than it is worth.

Personal opinion too, but if something as simple as a relationship status on Facebook is going to cause such trouble in your life and/or relationship, then maybe Facebook isn't the problem.

Have to agree. I like Facebook for keeping in touch with friends and family.... but I'm not sure it's a good idea to "Friend" the people you date.

Of course... if you get serious, you are left with the question of "Well, why won't you friend me--- what are you hiding?"

Eeeech. Can't win.

Been there, i was crucified by a girlfriend for the flirty pokes and so on that i was receiving on fb, not sending mind you, just receiving, apparently i was supposed to move into a cave and cut off all contact with the rest of the human race the instant we started going out, because not doing so was encouraging the women that i should no longer notice exist and a deep betrayal.

I very much agree with this, having experienced a situation a couple of years ago when I entered into what I thought would be a LTR and what turned out to be a 6 month then fizzle.

My former lover is still 'friended' on facebook and we actually are still friends-he's a great guy-but I wish I hadn't included him in my circle of Facebook friends now for several reasons, all of which are pretty obvious.

Also, I decided to not post my relationship status any more...too many questions about too many things. Too many comments I don't really welcome from friends of friends etc.

Facebook is fun and great for keeping up with my big extended family and I've loved finding childhood friends but it's best to keep it fairly surface when it comes to personal information. I can't believe some of the things younger people post...Talk about living in the public eye!

I considered Facebook, but concluded it would cut into the time I commit to my other addictions.

I have had several people push to be added as friends on facebook. When things did not work out, they ranted on my page, friended some of my friends so that they could talk about me, posted on my wall the most horrendous comments, harassed people I worked with who I had listed as friends.

When things were still well they would give me grief about the relationship status, when I took it off instead of leaving it and adding that I was "in a relationship" (We had not been going out that long!), they would be upset.

In short... I have had two terrible experiences after which friends, family and even co-workers had to block these people that seemed so nice at first and then once the insecurities and red flags became preponderant (Thanks to Facebook! And I am thankful for REAL!!), I told them I would rather not continue the "relationship" and they just went ape sheet!

I will not go on facebook much anymore, I don't give updates on my personal life and I will definitely not add anyone I am dating because there is no need, since I mostly only get on facebook to see pics from my family, and it is MINE, not theirs... so they have no reason to be worried or upset about it, as I barely ever go in anyway... But there are days when I think: "Good grief!"
