My friends boyfriend put on myspace and Facebook that he is single.. and its been like that for a long time... since he made the page... and she wonders if he's doing that to try to get other girls... or because he didn't really pay attention to it... Should she say something to him about it.. or pay it no mind??

He is considered single. They are not married.

It's her relationship, not yours. If she wants to ask him what's up, that's her prerogative.

If it really bothers her, then she should definitely talk to him about it. If not, then I don't see as issue. Her relationship, so only her opinions really matter. Don't worry about it. Let her deal with it.

I would comment on it right on his page if I were her---ask why is he playing single when he is with me? Chances are he will get really mad because she blew his cover, or not pay it any attention, then change his status. Either way, she will know, and so will all the other women on his page!

My friend and her boyfriend just broke up... n when they did he kept making jokes about it.. n then he started to tell her stuff about other girls he had been talking to.. n then he told her that he wanted to still talk to her like they were together.. I mean he said he still wanted them to kiss and hold hands and do little stuff like that.. but they aren't together.. then he got his cuzin to call her and tell her that he wanted to get back wit her and she heard her boyfriend.. well ex boyfriend.. in the background say that wasn't true.. but she didn't believe him.. she thinks he really does want to get bak wit her... n then her ex got on the phone and then said he had to ask a question.. but she hung up because she said she didn't know what was going on.. Is this his way of letting her know that he wants her back?? Do u think he really wants her back or is this just a little game he's playing with her??

He's a USER.

He doesn't care about her, their "relationship," or anyone else. He just cares about himself. She needs to recognize this guy is a LOSER and will keep her around because he wants to always have a backup plan, or when he's bored.

He doesn't love her and isn't going to get back with her. He's a "playa," and let me tell you, right now I'm hatin' on him.

.. but she hung up... priceless! Precisely the very thing she should do.

He is playing childish games with her so even if he is for real about getting back together she shouldn't... at least until he grows up by a few years.

She should definitely ask him if it's bothering her. Maybe he didn't realise. Or maybe he did... the only way she'll know is to ask.

I say its very possible he just didn't think about it. My hsuband and I have been married 3 years almost now, and he just recently realised that he never changed his status on myspace :P

I think she should confront him about it and be honest as to how it makes her feel. There are other things he could use besides single, there is"attached" or "In a relationship" that he could use on there instead of "single." But it may be an indication as to where he is at in the relationship with your friend and sounds like they need to discuss it.

I don't understand the concern. He IS single. Should he put "married" on his account? Makes no sense.

If it bothers her this much, she should ask him why. My feeling is he will also be confused - what should he put down as his status?

Just to clear up any confusion for some people... most social networking sites do not just have two options: MARRIED and SINGLE. From experience I know Myspace and Facebook both have an option "In a Relationship". If you are in a relationship with someone and they show "Single" on multiple social networking sites, it's somewhat alarming, at least from my perspective.

I just checked and you are 100% correct - "in a relationship" IS a category. Wonder if the friend's boyfriend knows he's in a relationship or just thinks they are dating - ?

Otherwise the question of snooping comes up - why was the friend checking the boyfriend's pages?

When you snoop you have to be prepared for what you MIGHT find -

Otherwise - talk to him about it. Ask him why.

This is what I hate about networking sites like FB and Myspace, it becomes peoples lives.

Instead of checking his profile, obsessing about his status, why not go out, meet people, talk to people, in person.

My son is 10, going on 11, he asked for a FB page and myspace, no way, not as long as he's under my roof.

I have Facebook, so that I can share things with my family in Germany, I hardly ever use it.

Just remember, it's a stupid message board, it's not real life, in the long run, it doesn't make any difference. More often then not it just complicates things, as your friend is learning.
