I have found that dating friends of friends and advertising on social media the relationship status may be just be putting unnecessary risk on the whole thing. If things go south, it sort of reverberates through all the channels and everyone knows about it. Most people have this innate habit of posting more than they probably should on Facebook or Twitter and often times don't even know it. The digital paper trail created can really lead to some hurt feelings or angry exes.
That said, I believe people are slowly waking up to stuff. Most of my Facebook friends no longer advertise their relationship status at all anymore. When was the last time you saw someone use the "Single" status? Not in a long time.
