This is gonna sound silly but I recently changed my profile status on FB to "in a relationship".. i didnt say who i was in a relationship w/ even though my bf is in my friends list. So today i changed it to him..and it said it was gonna send a confirmation. So i was on facebook tonight and i noticed that he deleted his profile. do u think it has anything to do with me? i know thats silly. as far as i know hes never on facebook anyway. Aside from that a cpl of wks ago i asked him what we were.. i said are we dating or a couple..and he said he thought they were the same thing and said hes only dating me and only dates one person atta time.he also hopes im not dating other people - im not/he knows this. this last wknd he met a few of my friends. they kept calling him my bf.It didnt seem to phase him. he really liked my friends. was happy and super affectionate.we talked today.everything was cool with us.i figured if it wasnt..he wouldnt have called me back today..despite the fact he has a cold. This profile thing just happened tonight..so i dunno.

we've only been dating for a month and i know its dumb but im wondering if he deleted his profile cos of me or cause he just doesnt use fb?

what do you think?

PixieGwen agony auntim not worrying much about the facebook thing anymore.. he prob deleted just cause. Because we've hung out w/ my friends.. they call him my bf.. he even wanted to meet my mom - and he did. and doesnt mind me introducing him as my bf..

so the facebook thing is probably nothing..

although is it common for people to disappear when theyre sick?

my bf has a cold. called him yesterday to see if he was feelin better but he never called back..

i figure if he feels that lousy..he should get back to me when he feels fine.

anyhoo thank you guys for answering my q.

To be honest I think he does not want to update his status to in-a-relationship at the moment. Closing his account is a good excuse to get around admitting that.

Maybe after just a month of dating, he's simply not comfortable with making things so public. Perhaps you guys should date a few more months and see if you really work well together.

But this is not because of you - it's because of him, he's the one who is probably not ready to take things public like that.

Best of luck

I too, would bring it up casually next time you see him. Some people just don't like facebook, and it could be that he is one of them (I personally hate facebook). Or maybe he's just got a lot going on and can't be bothered with it. I don't think it's anything to worry about, but it's worth bringing up just to see what it is.

I find that quite puzzling! I doubt he deleted his profile because a relationship confirmation was sent to him though. If he was not happy with that, all he had to do was refuse to confirm it. Problem solved, and you would know where you stand. So if he DID delete his profile because of that, it is a mighty dramatic thing to do!

I think it could very well be because he does not use Facebook. A little while ago, I deleted my MySpace profile, and I guess it was a bit sudden. But it just wasn't the right kind of site for me, and I had experienced some trouble on there in the past. So maybe he deleted his Facebook profile for similar reasons. However, I would ask him about it though. Maybe you could just bring it up really casually, like, "I was on Facebook last night and noticed you were not on there, why did you go?" And see what he has to say.

Usually when people delete their profile on Facebook though, it is only temporary, and you can go back on whenever you want by logging in. So maybe he just has other things going on in his life and doesn't have time for something like Facebook, so he has "disappeared" from there for a while. I really don't think you will know for sure unless you ask him though, so perhaps you could bring it up the next time you speak to him. Good luck. x
