| Summary: While Facebook
has been a great tool for staying connected and finding
new friends, it can be painful to not know something
right away in this era of real time connectivity.
Read below the case of a girl who wants to know why her
boyfriend has not changed his relationship status even
though she thinks he has dumped her.

Nadine
writes, "I've been
dating a guy for 3 months
now. He told me he needed time to
rethink
our relationship about
3 weeks ago. I've only seen him once since then.
He no longer answers any of my calls or text
messages since then. I have noticed that he
hasn't changed his relationship status on
Facebook from "in a relationship with Nadine"
yet. I texted him early this week and asked him
if I should change my status but he still hasn't
responded. I keep getting the silent
treatment. I know he is on
Facebook everyday so
I know he hasn't forgotten. Do you think if I
stop contacting him he will come back around?
And do you think the
relationship is over
although he didn't change his status yet? He
used to always tell me how much he loved me and
missed me. What is your advice?"
As
you probably realize, 3 months is a very short
time for dating and most people are still not
sure about their feelings during such a short
period of time.
In your case, it seems that a little more than 2
months ago, he
put the relationship on hold. |

| My initial feeling is that he is
about to
end this relationship with you or he is
interested in a relationship with someone else and while
he finds out if that will work or not, he is keeping his
options open by not
breaking up with you. If that works
out he will
dump you; if not, he might
come back to you.
His not changing the relationship status is simply his
way of keeping his options open rather than a true
indicator of whatever is on his mind. I wouldn't take
that very seriously. |

I am little
bit less optimistic that this
relationship has a future
because of his strange behavior. Unless you really really
love him, there is no reason to even wait. Just realize that
it is over already and
move on. |
