"The majority of people we know have stopped declaring themselves &amp;quot;Single&amp;quot; &amp;quot;In a Relationship,&amp;quot; or anything else on Facebook. Maybe because it&amp;#x27;s none of anyone&amp;#x27;s business, or their real friends already know their status, or their endless couple selfies make it pretty obvious, or simply because, should the relationship end, they don&amp;#x27;t need the embarrassment of a broken heart icon being blasted out for everyone to see. Hey, way to own your privacy settings, people! Except one thing: Facebook just one-upped you once again. Now, they&amp;#x27;ve added an &amp;quot;Ask&amp;quot; button next to your relationship status. Meaning that if you haven&amp;#x27;t filled it out, Facebook will let people ask you about it. There it is above on our assistant editor Anna&amp;#x27;s profile. While this could be a flirty option for someone to let you know they&amp;#x27;re interested, it can also invite a pretty uncomfortable conversation for anyone who doesn&amp;#x27;t want to talk about or draw attention to her relationship status in the first place (hence why it might have been left blank). Basically, it&amp;#x27;s the Facebook equivalent of your whiny relatives asking if you&amp;#x27;re seeing anyone special at every family gathering. Talk to me, you guys. Are you happy this button is here, or do you think it should be optional? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
