I do think that we technically should be more "professional" than Facebook, but on the other hand, why not stay with the times? Though I may not personally prefer it to say Relationship Status, I can see how it would be perhaps more widely accepted. And for that, I'd be OK with it.

I can definitely see the need for a Dating category. Specifically the same point as Spencer said: they aren't technically single, but not technically married either, and the site should reflect that. However, it should really be 100% clear that they are, in fact, "dating." And as far as comics go, that can be tricky and change back and forth way too often (OK, that's the real world too). So while I am alright with this one.. there should be some good confirmation.. and just overall rules of some sort based around the category.

I also definitely think categories like Civil Union and Domestic Partnership should be added in. Things have changed since 1981, and again, the site should reflect that. I'm not sure how many cases there even are out there in the Marvel world, but WarBlade makes a good point in the fact that many more could come along at Marvel in the coming years.
