Phil's friends have recently introduced him to Facebook, and in turn I have been dragged kicking and screaming into the concept.
In order to fill out my profile, I clicked on "in a relationship", and then was prompted to say who I was in a relationship with. I dutifully wrote Phil's name and was instantly, and to my pleasant suprise, transferred to two whole pages of Philippe Roys, all with a little "Add as my Boyfriend" button next to them. It was like putting a kid in a candy shop!. I even rang Phil to give him a running commentary of all the other Philippe Roys I could have as my boyfriend.
In the end I chose my Phil, and was told a message was being sent to him to to verify that we are really was in a relationship. Even the computer doesn't take my word as fact.
Minutes later I get this email from Phil:
Forward from Facebook:
Subject: You have a relationship request from Louise Hubbard
Sender: Facebook
Louise says that you two are in a relationship on Facebook. We need you to confirm that you are, in fact, in a relationship with Louise.

Thanks,

...complete with this message from Phil:
"Very cute, is that how the young things do it nowadays?"
I wonder what happened to just passing a note during study hall?
