writes: My boyfriend doesn't want to make our relationship official on the social network.He's the son of a pastor and the same age as me and he says the reason is because he doesn't want his church members to know.But his family knows! His family doesn't encourage him having a girlfriend yet, but they aren't doing anything to stop it and as far as I know they are generally ok with me.I do believe there isn't a secret reason for him not making our relationship "official", but we've been dating for a year and a half and his profile still shows him as single!Also, a few months back I discovered that his friends had been teasing him about this girl who I'm pretty sure has "set her sights" on him. When I confronted one of his friends, he claimed it was because he thought our relationship wasn't serious!My boyfriend's stand on the social network and his overall shyness about our relationship is making a lot of complications, but he doesn't seem to notice. Help!

Don't stand for this any more. If his family know about the relationship well then there is no need for him to pretend that he is single on social networking sights. My guess is that he doesn't want to be tied down to you and that he is not ready for a serious commitment. Talk to him, tell him how you feel and if he doesn't start changing and making things official well I think it is his loss and you should look for someone who treats you with more respect and wants to announce to the world that they are with you, good luck.
