KEY
Mostly A’s
Everyone knows that posting your relationship on Facebook is the last step before getting married, so obviously this seems right. You two are already co-owners of a modest digital home in Farmville and have multiple photo albums dedicated to things like your romantic trip to a maple syrup bottler in Vermont last September where you captioned more than one of the photos using a pun on the word “sap,” so you may as well take the plunge and put your relationship on Facebook for everyone to roll their eyes at.
Mostly B’s
Like eating gas station sushi on your way to a job interview, this one is a gamble. Maybe you’re going to be his super serious girlfriend who totally warrants Facebook acknowledgement and a couples page one day. But maybe you’re the fling for now because he knew you’d have the proper bright shift dress to be his date for his fraternity brother’s North Carolina wedding and you’re out the door as soon as he gets his tickets to Governors Ball and needs a chick with a festival-ready fringe vest and decent supply of hallucinogens.
Mostly C’s
It’s pretty hard to establish a Facebook relationship with a guy you probably couldn’t identify in a police lineup. It’s really anyone’s guess as to whether he is going to end up being your boyfriend or stealing your identity so he can get himself a new flat screen TV from Best Buy on your tab. Keep your status single, your online dating account active, and maybe think about getting tested.
Candid comment should be posted if you are really sure or ready to make the facebook loudspeaker about your relationship.
