Today, after dating my girlfriend for about a month, she changed her Facebook status to taken. When I saw the update, I immediately clicked "Like." Then I looked up and saw I wasn't the person she had put herself in a relationship with. FML

Today, I saw the girl I had started dating changed her Facebook relationship status to "In a relationship". Naturally, I changed mine too. The next time I logged on, she had commented, "Really?! Who?!" She was serious. FML

Today, my girlfriend changed her relationship status on Facebook to 'It's Complicated' because I didn't give her my last cookie. This happens all the time. FML

Today, I was talking to my girlfriend on Facebook. She's in the forces, and it was her birthday. I asked her if she liked the flowers I sent her. She thanked me, then asked if she could remove our relationship status. When I asked why, she said, "It's not like we're really going out anymore." FML

Today, my girlfriend got into my Facebook and changed our relationship status to single just to see which of my friends would "like" it. After revealing to me what she did, she now says I can no longer be friends with anyone who liked it. FML

I've been with my man for almost 7 years. We've never updated our statuses online. I guess it's all been a lie this whole time.

If you're dating a girl who takes "facebook official" that seriously, think about if you really want to date her anyway

Marry her and she'll need a selfie and hashtags at the altar or it won't be real.

And this is one of the main reasons I flat out refuse to have a Facebook account...

I don't think you need Facebook to make it official but on the other hand I also don't think 3 months is that long for a "trial period"... Next time remember to talk about it to avoid misunderstandings!

dating and social media these days shouldn't correlate. I mean that going to the point and saying that you two are not dating till she changes her fb status is a bit ridiculous . that would be a personal deal breaker for me.

I agree, all this means is that untill it is online where others can call them out for it they could be sleeping around. If a website means more than a person they are dating in every sense but "facebook official", then that person is not worth the hassle or commitment.
