When is the appropriate time to change my FB status from Single to In a Relationship?

I am in a very new relationship and want everybody to know! All my friends read Face Book and I know they would notice it there. It's easier then sending a bunch of emails or calling everyone. Plus I have old boyfriends on FB who would also know then. So There!

Do I need to wait for us to have the I Love You talk? We had the 'exclusive' talk last weekend but no one said I Love You yet, though I think thats next.

What do you think I should do about this?

Hay-I am really serious here!!

My SO recently changed hers to "In a relationship with...". And then we visited my FB page, and she changed mine to "In a relationship with...".

Who cares what anyone thinks, it was very flattering for me personally =).

I would think when you've both decided to become exclusive.

It sounds like you're getting close to 'having the talk'.

I'm one of those people who doesn't list a relationship status on my FB profile. So basically for me to change my profile to "In a Relationship" I'd have to be pretty serious about her. But since you two are exclusive and you want it, it couldn't hurt to just mention it to him and see how he feels about it.

If it's exclusive, I'd say it's a relationship. Go for it, unless you think he's the skittish type and would be spooked by it.

I'm very slow about these things, myself. I didn't change my status to "relationship" until we'd been living together for almost three months. Then I changed it to "engaged" six months after the fact. I figure I'll change it to "married" on our first anniversary.

What is the big deal really? Remember, this is YOUR facebook profile. Not his/hers. If you want to show off whatever, you should be able to do so. FB sends a confirmation to your intended on a relationships change.

Now, it would be nice to have everyone on the same page, but ultimately, facebook is there to show yourself off. You shouldn't have to worry too much about your boyfriend/girlfriend if you're not putting something that is really personal about someone else.

Oh, I'm not exactly certain when is the best time to change your status. However, one of my friends, who just recently go married, prior to changing his status posted something to the effect of,

"And as we know no marriage is official until you change your Facebook status. So today, I'm doing just that; I am now officially married."

Personally I just don't post any relationship status on facebook. I suppose at some point I'll have a girlfriend for whom this just doesn't fly, but so far it hasn't been an issue/

I think it was a week after we were dating, meh, maybe two. He said he feels like we are already married. I had internet so we changed it. I had no idea it is such a pain to change.
