When I was in high school, the sign of going steady was the guy gave the girl his class ring to hang on a necklace. I guess that's by the boards (probably has been for half a century). My nephew, who lives with us and is soon to be off to college, has had a very steady girlfriend for nine months, and she is also going to the same college (3 weeks away now, yippee). So, the way they announced to the world they were going steady was by stating on Facebook that they are "In a Relationship". So this week, they broke up, a break up lasting approximately an hour and a half, during which time they removed from Facebook their "In a Relationship" status (causing 8 females to immediately enter a "like" on my nephew's page because he is quite handsome and considered "cool").
Since the breakup and rapid reconciliation, the relationship so far as I can tell is hotter than ever. But the Facebook page remains as revised. So I asked my nephew if he was back in his "relationship". He said, "no , it's not in Facebook". So I guess that means I don't need to cough or whistle anymore when I come toward the room they are hanging in. BTW, the break up was some stupid idea of my nephew's, and with them about to be in the same dorm complex in college. Stupid both because he thought it would simplify things going off to college (different colleges I can understand) and because his girlfriend is very bright and exceptionally gorgeous and nice, and insanely in love with the brat. Now that doesn't mean he has to love her, but indifferent he isn't.
