I have a question to ask those of? you who are married or in long term relationships: How did you meet your mate? At work? A first date? Speed dating? A club/bar? Hold that thought.
For those who are single, how would you like to meet your significant other through Facebook? Now, through one ‘ask’ button, you can ask about someone’s relationship status. And you can share your response with the asker, even in public. This will apply to those who leave their relationship status blank. This ‘ask’ button for relationships is already gaining popularity across the US. It’s expected to make it’s presence known in Europe in the next few weeks.
Wow! I don’t know what to say. There’s a part of me waiting for a feel good story to come out of this. A story that says someone met their soul mate through the ‘ask’ button, they get married, and lived happily ever after. Or someone meets their best friend through the ‘ask’ button and an eternal companionship is born. If it were a perfect world, it would come to that. Obviously, this world is far from perfect.? I’m waiting for a story of a stalking situation to get started from this. I’m waiting for a bullying situation to get started from this ‘ask’ button. I’m waiting for a relationship that started from the ‘ask’ button to go tragically wrong. I hope I’m wrong and I hope I’m over-exaggerating. But what do you think? Is Facebook’s ask button a blessing or curse waiting to happen?
