Facebook official

Of a new romantic relationship, made public on Facebook by updating the relationship status in one's profile, and thereby revealed to one's entire network of friends and followers. Whoa, I'm definitely not ready to be Facebook official when we've only been dating for a few weeks! Well, look at that—Katie and my ex-boyfriend are Facebook official now. Ugh. After dating for a few months, and agreeing that we were dating exclusively, Eddie and I decided to make it Facebook official.
