It was 3 years ago when I started to notice Friendster’s trademark status category “it’s complicated”. I was amused and amazed at the same time to learn that such has been recognized universally perhaps and already accepted to describe ones relationship when one could not determine and caught between being single and being in a relationship...

I long for the days when it was easy to define one’s life. If you are not with somebody, automatically you’re single. If you’re with someone, you’re either in a relationship of married...

    Yes, my friends and family laugh when we see facebook status with the caption...'complicated', aren't most relationships complicated?

    Does complicated mean, the person you are in a relationship with doesn't know that you are in a relationship with YOU? or maybe its complicated because the person you are in a relationship with is married?

    We often wonder about what complicated would mean
    1. earthlingorgeous
      Hahaha! Exactly isn't that funny. Maybe they are both clueless?
    2. ekim941
      I think that Complicated = I'm taken but I still sleep around.
    3. earthlingorgeous
      Yikes...maybe we should add Cheater?:P or maybe that's where the "In an Open relationship" status comes from?
    4. DocNicole
      Yeah that was kind of my take on it too...
    5. earthlingorgeous
      Jeez open relationship, duh! It's single if your not taken right?
  2. ekim941
    OMG, I was just saying this a few days ago. "I don't belong in this time period".

    I think that "It's complicated" status is very strange. Even when I qualified for that one, I just told people I was married.
    1. earthlingorgeous
      Yeah very strange but I guess maybe it's for those who are emotionally unstable? I see facebook status change from time to time, and I was thinking "Ahhhh, lovers quarel."

      But there are more other relationship status out there hahaha... it's all there in my blog (shameless promotion) lol but it's out there and it feels weird!

    Isn't that a F.B ?

    I'm with Mike - All this compartmentalization of relationship status is well, erm, complicated

    You're either free to go out on a date with someone - or you're not. End of story!
    1. earthlingorgeous
      Hahahaha! yeah very complicated. They complicate the complicated, ugh I guess some people likes challenges? LOL!
    2. Anok
      I think some people just like to be complicated because it makes them mysterious, or something.

      Meh - it's not for me
    3. earthlingorgeous
      Yeah and probably that person is an emotional roller-coaster too. But why the heck did Facebook and Friendster invented these type (Friendster even have to trademark it) crazy!
    4. ekim941
      I don't think it's mysterious at all. If I ask a woman if she is single and she says it's complicated, I just figure she is married but trying to get some strange so I leave her alone.

      Either you are single or not. I'm all about gray areas, this aint one of them.
    5. earthlingorgeous
      Like when you asked a man, if he is single or not... he gives you a different answer LMAO!
    6. ekim941
      I'm sure men use this line more than women

      Women just say, "Married but not happy" if they are looking to stray.
    7. wolfcreek
      I'm just taken...no complication, and I'm fortunate. We have had our troubles, but I've never wanted to stray. I like familiar, and frankly, I worked hard to get the She-Wolf. I don't have the energy to complicate my life anymore. I did my fair share of that when I was younger.

      No more complicated. Now its time to build myself a castle and love the life I have.
    8. earthlingorgeous
      That is good to hear Wolf
  5. lordiwanttobewhole
    With relationships I'm black or white...not grey. I'm in or out!
    1. earthlingorgeous
      Lol for a sec I thought I read gay or out
    2. Theresa111
      Ha ha ha!
  6. aningeniousname
    It might be complicated because you are in a inter species relationship and those are hard to get out of. Because your partner not only relies on you for companionship and non judgmental love but also regular feeding and walkies.
    1. ekim941
      Good point. Like if you are caught up in some regular booty calls for alien probings:

    2. aningeniousname
      I now feel strangely aroused.
    3. Theresa111
      Wow ... who is that?

      aningeniousname ... Given your avatar, I can totally see why

      Ekim, We can always count on you coming up with something so unique, that most of us has never even considered this portrait of an alien.
    4. ekim941
      Anin, Aroused? I guess, look at the puddle you made
    5. aningeniousname
      I thought it was Angelina Jolie snapped as Brad came in late for the fourth night running.
    6. Theresa111
      Ooh I see he did make a piddle puddle
    7. aningeniousname
      For the one hundredth time!! I have a bag now!! Those piddle problems are behind me the only problem I have now is bag freshness.
    8. ekim941
      Sorry. I guess my comment was "Premature".

      Speaking of that, how's your other "issue" going?
    9. aningeniousname
