The general rule of thumb seems to be that the younger a couple are, the sooner theyll change their Facebook status, often within the first month of dating. This is probably because their use of social media is higher. Adults who are looking for a serious, lasting relationship will often wait a few months.

When should you put relationship status on Facebook?
