Facebook is spreading lies about my love life

I recently came to the realisation that to be too open about your life on Facebook is a potential mistake.

Yes, you may only add people you know you to your friends list, but you never know what that old school friend may have turned into or what intentions a friend of a friend may have for you. With this in mind, I changed my Religious Views to ‘Thou shalt now share too many personal details on Facebook’ and removed all my other profile information.

Removing my relationship status, caused Facebook to send out a newsfeed item to all my friends declaring ‘Sarah is no longer listed as single’, accompanied by a candy-pink heart. In the week following this announcement, four people said ‘So, tell me about your new man’. I had to disappointment them and tell them that it was all just gossip spread by an over-enthusiastic Facebook.
