As a joke, I made my boyfriend agree to put that we were in a relationship with each other on Facebook. The backlash he received from his male friends was so hilarious to us both, we decided to keep it that way. Secretly, I kind of like it because, let's face it, I am a woman and I am constantly competing with other women whether they know it or not. Mainly, it was just supposed to be a temporary joke that became funnier when we made it permanent.
I am fully aware that it is our behavior and general demeanor that make it apparent that we are in a relationship with each other. Becoming "Facebook official" was not something that kept me up at night or made me cry to my girlfriends (er, girlfriend, singular, not plural). It may be cute to post something on Facebook every now and then about your significant other and how wonderful they are or how much in love you are. I think it's a nice way to commemorate your wedding day or the birth of a child. I am more concerned with the constant daily reminders of how much you love your boyfriend or girlfriend. We get it. You're in love. Yippee. I'm in love and you don't see me bragging about it every time you get online. We can't even remember to take pictures together, let alone tag that we are someplace together, let everyone know we're there because we love to be places together, take pictures there to immediately upload to Facebook, tag THOSE pics, then produce status updates about said pictures and locations with more tags.
So I'm sorry my friends, if you want to be able to tell if I'm in love with my boyfriend, you're just going to have to do it the old fashioned way. Find out what bar we're in and watch us get drunk and make out. Romance and class delivered.
