In fact, Facebook gives it a lot of prominence by embedding it on the start page of your friends.<\/p>\n<p>This Facebook status message thing though, can cause a lot of misunderstandings. If you&#8217;re not listed as single, it doesn&#8217;t mean you&#8217;re in a relationship (it could just mean that you&#8217;ve stopped looking, decided to become a priest, celebrate celibacy, et al).
