Love Defined By A Drop Down Menu - Facebook Relationship Status (VIDEO)
Facebook Relationship Status

For many, changing their Facebook relationship status and linking profiles with a partner is a major decision that could be a precursor to moving in together or even an engagement. As Yahoo put it, “For the Facebook generation, love now comes with a drop-down menu.”

The social networking site asks users to select their relationship status (Single, In a Relationship, Engaged, Married, It’s Complicated, It’s an Open Relationship) from a menu. They can also leave it blank, although most are comfortable listing their status.

"It's complicated" could also describe the emotional calculations people in their late teens and early 20s make as they decide whether their relationships are what they call "Facebook-worthy." For Stephanie Endicott and Marcus Smallegan, first year students at George Washington University, announcing to the world that they had found love in a college dorm was a no-brainer. "It was important for me to share this with my friends since I'm so far away," Endicott, attending school 3,000 miles away from her home in Maple Valley, Washington, said as she clasped Smallegan's hand on a park bench on the campus. "Neither of us had been in a really good relationship before and ours turned really good really fast," added Smallegan, who had posted a relationship on Facebook once before, only to have that girl move out of state and break up with him via a text message on his cell phone.

I'm happy to just leave my relationship status blank. What does "It's complicated" mean, anyway?
