Question

So when someone immediately changes their relationship status to "taken" or "in a relationship" as soon as I add them on facebook, that is defntly a horrible sign right...?

[MyheartorHis]

Well, if they do change it, it must mean they are in one, right? Were you talking to this someone?

[Creamybutter]

Well yeah Im their classmate and i was flirting with them in class, and so i added them and when they accept within a few minutes the're status goes from "single" to taken.

 

how coincidental is that....is it to make it clear they arent interested or what is that? why would they go that far...im confused.

I doubt they did that to shove you away. Maybe he is flirtatious, I know I am. But he probably is in a relationship, then... I haven't ever heard of someone changing their status because someone added them and not actually being that status.

and... maybe we should just stop reading so much into facebook... do yourself a favor and delete it, best online move I've made in years. ...hah

While he happened to be on line he probably decided to take care of changing his status. People who are in relationships also flirt - they just flirt in a harmless way or in a way that's not inconsistent with being in a relationship. Flirting doesn't mean he was interested in a relationship with you or in dating you so you jumped the gun a bit by assuming that. Nothing inconsistent about his flirting and changing his status, unless he asked you out on a date.

 

(or he might have recently met someone he wanted to date).

don't read into facebook or myspace for dating purposes. do everything in person. that's how i roll and it works very well.

If he says he's in a relationship on facebook, then he's in a relationship. I can't see any other reason why a person would do that.

i know of a few female friends that put in a relationship or married cause they dont want random guys hitten them up.

I see. I don't know anyone that does this because you can control who sees your profile and who can search for it. Not sure why people have a problem with randoms hitting on them when they can control every aspect of their privacy on fb.

Same here - had mine deleted after my last girlfriend dumped me. Funny thing is I'd closed my account a couple of times over the past year and since there'd never been a tick box to match my reason I'd always typed it in. Last time they'd added "...resulting in social drama" lol Guess it did pay off explaining why I wanted to leave!

 

Facebook is evil. Also, as someone else said, he probably just logged in and happened to change his status at the same time.

Facebook is narcisstic.It is for people who want to show off about there lives.I laugh when I see someone who writes,''cell's on''.God forbid someone couldn't get ahold of you for a minute.

Um, maybe for some. I am on facebook to keep in touch with my teenage nieces (and make sure they are behaving themselves ;-), to get back in touch with old friends and colleagues, and to network. I've never posted my "status" and I keep most of my settings private for friends only.
