It's not official-until it's on Facebook!

For one, the-am-I-your-girlfriend-yet chat is nerve racking enough but awaiting that ominous relationship status request is complete torture. Once you’ve bagged the title of his girlfriend how long after are you expected to wait for your relationship status to go from single to finally taken?


Announcing to the entire cyber world that you are taken by 'Mr Smith' is the confirmation that us girls seek. To know that your relationship means more to him than have all those I’ve-only-met-you-once girls thinking he is single and ready to mingle, now that is the icing on the relationship cake. It has been said that seeing is believing and in this case I definitely agree, if you can see your relationship, and everyone else can see your relationship you can bet that it will make it past the first month mark. Once it’s on Facebook there’s no going back - kind of.


So what does it mean when your guy is yet to make it official? Possible reasons for his delay are; he is waiting for you to make the first move and send him the request, he has no clue how to write a status (or understand the point of doing so) let alone change his relationship status, or maybe he just isn’t worth it and has no interest in letting everyone know he is off limits. Now that guy is not serious boyfriend husband material and may never make it official, and will most certainly have your girlfriends breathing down your neck telling you to ditch him asap!


The Facebook love label is the 10 carat gold diamond equivalent to showing the cyber world that you are both out of the game and only have eyes for each other - we hope.


But, Beware of the flaw in the system. Even if his status says ‘in a relationship’ but your name is no where to been seen then this commitment thing just does not count. Don’t let your man get away with it, you deserve to have his friends know you’re his girl.


So if it’s not on Facebook, girls it just isn’t official!
