Status Change

Posted on | May 16, 2012 | 2 Comments

In this day and age Facebook has changed how we present ourselves to the world.

The time finally came when the moment of truth arrived.  The special lady in my life is also on Facebook and our relationship has been getting more and more serious.  We’ve had some times together that have changed me and how I look at life.  I’ll write more about that soon enough.  My girl is also on Facebook like the rest of us.  In her profile she has her relationship status visible to her friend and I made my private when I got divorced and didn’t think I’d ever change it or make visible to my friends again.

Yesterday was the big day y’all.  I’ve been making jokes for the last week or so because we had “the talk” and she still had her status as single.  We were texting back and forth yesterday and she replied with a let’s do this.  I was a little taken back but I told her I was going to do it when I got back to my computer.  I was in the middle of a meeting and for the next hour I was a little nervous.

The reason why I was nervous was because whenever I see somebody changing their relationship status I get on there and blow up their Facebook.  It’s fun to see all the great comments and everyone knows that it’s not what they expected when they made the status change.  I was also nervous because it was a big thing for me.  I really never expected to feel like I feel today and it’s almost like being a teenager again.  It’s awesome!

I got on Facebook and found the place where I update my personal information.  I made my relationship status visible to my friends.  I then changed my status from single to in a relationship.  Once that was made I tagged her and Facebook told me she’s have to accept.  I was all, what if she doesn’t accept and got even more nervous.  Finally the time came to hit the save button and I have to admit that I had to take a deep breath before I clicked on the save button.

Sure enough, my Facebook got all blows up!  (Please excuse some of the language but it all had to be posted word for word.)

Me is in a relationship.
Me Whatever, just say your peace and get it over with.
