Reminiscence Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 One of my coworkers (who I have a crush on) recently changed his relationship status. It used to say he had been in a relationship for so and so for x amount of time. But now all I see is an "Ask" button. So this either means he is hiding it so only he can see the status or he is no longer in a relationship? I'm not sure if I should try approaching him. His status previously said he had a girlfriend for about a year. But it wouldn't make sense for him to hide his status all of sudden if he had been so proudly showing it to the world for the past year. I haven't seen him take down photos of them together but then again I think guys don't really do that. On a side note, does the "ask" button appear if say his girlfriend changed her status to single? I know that in order for you to say you are in a relationship with so and so you have to send a "relationship request" to so and so. By logical extension, if one person changes it then the other person's status should change too, right? Link to comment
faraday Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 "Ask" is because he no longer has it listed publicly. Just because someone become single, doesn't mean they are ready to date....he needs time to heal...or you could be the rebound. Link to comment
Reminiscence Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 "Ask" is because he no longer has it listed publicly. It could also mean that you haven't labeled yourself. Before Facebook added this button I had left my relationship status blank/declined to state but now mine it has the ask button because my relationship status is "--". Unless "--" means you don't want to list it publicly? Hence my thinking of the whole what if the girlfriend changed her status and he just hasn't "relabeled" himself. Unless I'm wrong about how the relationship linking works. And yes I won't rush up to him right away. Link to comment
numbnut Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Life would be so much better without Facebook. People use it to screw with relationships, both thiers and other people's. Get a Life!!! Link to comment
rainbows Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 whatever it is. I dont think the status is 'single' Sounds more like this person wants tp keep his live private Link to comment
lavenderdove Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 How about you just ask him one day how his GF is doing and see what he says. Try to keep your life in real life as much as you can rather than trying to guess what this or that means on FB. Link to comment
SooSad33 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 "I'm not sure if I should try approaching him." - Two issue's here, from my end. 1. He's 'recently' single.. possibly. Doesn't mean he is ready to get into another relationship. 2. He is a co-worker... often NOT a good idea to get involved with those. Link to comment
