Exactly.

For the most part, I keep my private and romantic life offline.

But that doesn't mean it's a free-for-all when it comes to people posting things on my page!

I will most certainly regulate!

Your relationship needs to be facebook official or people say it doesn't count

I had a dream (more like a nightmare) where a certain friend deleted me on facebook. Luckily, it was just a dream. I checked facebook and he's still my friend.

But I got deleted by 2 more people recently. Both of them were people that sent me the friend request. That's something I really don't understand...you ask to be my friend but you delete me.

If I ask to be your friend, that's one thing. But if you ask to be my friend and I'm nice enough to accept the friend request, why would you delete me? If you don't want to be my friend, why did you send the friend request in the first place? When someone that sent me a friend request deletes me, all they're doing is showing that I never should of accepted their friend request in the first place.

I've asked this before but never got an answer.

The 2 people that deleted me are people I never met. One of them goes to a different college in this state. We have 1 mutual friend. That's probably why he sent me the friend request. But he's commented on my stuff before. One of my friend's got into a fight with him when they both commented on the same thing. Maybe that played a role in him deleting me? But it's been a while so probably not. If that was why he deleted me, he probably would of deleted me sooner.

And the other person that deleted me recently is someone from Israel that sent me a friend request.

I don't claim to be real life friends with either of these people. I realize we never met. But that doesn't change the fact that they sent the friend request to me

Just like this thread is turning out to be. Some of it wears me out just reading it!

I DO have Facebook and I love it! But I use mine to stay in touch with family members that are far away and some friends. No drama and that's the way I like it. I'm one of those weird people, I guess. My FB 'friends' are people I actually know personally.

Surely you don't actually believe this?

Are you just expressing sarcasm and I missed it? (I almost hope that you are and that I did rather than think someone believes that silliness)

I don't like how people say your relationship has to be facebook official or it doesn't count.

But I accept the fact that's how it is.

One of the reasons I'm reluctant to date is because of the grey area where you're dating but it's not facebook official yet. I don't want to date someone only to never get credit.

Facebook has the relationship status for a reason. If you're in a relationship, it's expected that your relationship status will say it. Why else would facebook have the relationship status?

To get you to provide more personal information, silly.

Just because it's there doesn't mean you have to provide it. It also asks for telephone numbers, personal emails, where you live, etc. You don't provide all of that information, do you? And if you do, then you need to remove it as quickly as you can. You don't need that kind of personal information out there on the internet.

Surely you must realize there is a difference between listing your relationship status and listing your address.

Your address is personal information so I can see why people wouldn't want to list their address. I don't list my address.

The relationship status is just a fun thing.

When someone is in a relationship but their status says single, that's just wrong.

If you don't list your status at all, that's not as bad. However, I don't like it when a girl I have a thing for doesn't list her relationship status. There is a girl that was perfect for me but she didn't list her relationship status. For all I know, it's possible that she has/had a boyfriend. I have a fear of rejection, so that's part of the reason I never asked her out. But another part of the reason is because she didn't list her relationship status. I didn't want to ask her out only to find out she's taken. And I was thinking "She probably won't list her relationship status if we become a couple, so why bother?"

I don't think she's perfect for me anymore, but that's not the point.

If I got a girlfriend, I would want my profile to say it. I was not a ladies man in high school. So I would want my high school friends to see that I got a girlfriend.
