The Facebook Couple
It is the age old story. Boy meets Girl. Boy talks to Girl. Girl laughs at Boy's jokes. Boy buys Girl drinks. Girl gets drunk. Girl makes out with Boy in dark corner of the club. Girl gives Boy her number. Boy texts the next day, because he's a bit shy about ringing her. Girl, embarrassed about last night's actions, texts back. Boy replies. Boy and Girl meet for coffee. Girl feels a spark. Boy just wants sex. Romance blossoms! The end.
However, with the advent of Facebook, this simple story is twisted into a horrible, car-crash of mixed emotions and mistaken motives. And the cause sits quite innocently at the top of each profile. The 'Relationship Status'.
OK, so when you are single, life is easy. You put single and all those pretty girls and boys who are also single say "Hey, they are single. I should get to know them.". You swig champagne in expensive places and party your life away in the way a glorious singleton would.
But after the coffee? What then? Do you put that you are 'in a relationship'? Whilst this may be true, you fail to stipulate that the relationship is a very small one that will be abandoned at the next sign of another skirt to chase.
And what happens if you put 'in a relationship', and your partner doesn't. They stick with their 'single' tag like peanut butter to the roof of your mouth.
And surely if your status says 'in a relationship' and yet you remain interested in 'dating' and 'relationships', then you'll be in a whole world of hurt.
Suddenly the simple boy meets girl, becomes girl hates boy for never telling his facebook "friends" that he loves her truly and unconditionally, via his status. Even if it is just because he hasn't been online in a little while.
The solution? Although it may sound risky at first, change your status to 'it's complicated'. Then, when your angry partner demands to know what is so complicated about your relationship, simply reply, calmly and romantically "I don't ever think I could describe the love I feel for you with the simple words 'in a relationship'. Therefore, our love must remain complicated, as I can never find the right words to describe your beauty".
If you're a girl, then you have nothing to worry about. A guy doesn't care how you describe yourself on facebook, as long as he's sleeping with you.
:D
