"Engaged"

There is one thing that get's on my nerves more than anything else on Facebook. More than the public fights between friends or the annoying game requests. When two people my age change their relationship status to "engaged". And here is a list of reasons why you are not "engaged".

1.) You're both still living with your parents and you have no plan or money to support you and your fiancee

2.) Neither of you have a license or a car. Yeah, work on that first before you claim to be "engaged". How are you going to get to your job? Have your mommy drive you?

3.) You've known eachother less than six months (for that case, let's say less than a year). Yes I've heard of stories of lovers running off together after only having been together for a month or two. I know a couple who have been married forty years and they'd only know eachother for a month before they got married. But in todays society, I highly doubt your even going to get married. I don't mean to sound harsh, but most of my young friends on Facebook who change their status to "engaged" never actually get married or are even serious about it.

4.) Aren't actually serious about it. This ties in with number three. It's one thing to goof around on Facebook or goof around with friends. But getting engaged and married is serious thing. People should take it seriously.

It's not like I don't believe in young love. I do. But this relationship status change just makes you appear immature to your family and elders on Facebook. Trust me on this one. I know it sounds like I'm being harsh, but I'm being honest. I'm sick of my peers looking dumb on Facebook. So please, don't change your status unless you actually are serious about being engaged and are planning a wedding in the near future. For the sake of your annoyed friends on Facebook and yours truely.
