Facebook : Relationship Status

I would be concerned unless there was a valid reason, such as possible family problems. I can't think of any innocent reason why she would want to broadcast the fact she is single. If, however, I had mine up on my page and she had nothing at all, it wouldn't be a problem. I would certainly ask what the issue was.
 
I had "interested in women" selected on my profile, as in straight ...and my mrs had a go at me for it lol, I had to sit her down and explain what it meant.

Facebook and all of its derivatives are the devil.
 
My wife still has her FB profile in her maiden name - so realisticially I've got more to be worried about :)
 
I think that would have annoyed me, mainly because we'd been together 4 years before he got a Facebook account :p.
 
When I was with my long term (now ex) gf we had "in a relationship". That's fine until you split up then everyone knows and you get bombarded with "Are you OK" emails and wall posts.

In the future I won't change my status. It's currently hidden and will stay that way.

I'd want to know why she wouldn't accept the request but can't comment on what I'd do if she didn't as I've not been in that situation.
 
Hey Headrat - long time no speak!

Facebook has made this a new social issue out of something that never used to be a problem...

Yes it would bother me, and in fact I went through something similar (didn't request it, but her still having herself listed as single bothered me so started the conversation). It got into a far more involved conversation about her just wanting to keep things casual etc. (after three months in) and it wasn't a position I was comfortable with, in that I'd rather be with somebody or not - avoiding all this halfway business.

I'd ask her about it as casually as possible if it's really bothering you. For some reason some girls seem to go for this whole 'I don't want to hurt my ex's feelings' thing via Facebook, which I think is a load of tosh.
 
I'm married, and put one of the questions as

'Interested in men and women'


Because I am, I'll chat to anyone really.

Only years later did I discover apparently it means I'm Bi!! :\
 
It would bother me, but I wouldnt post my status anyway. Don't need people knowing my business, and also means other girls you meet/add you, dont know the full story ;)
