<human>: So here's the deal:
My girlfriend and I are going to colleges across the country from each other and have accepted breaking up as an inevitability.
However we've promised each other we're going to stay good friends/talk/etc. and she wants to keep our relationship status on fb as "in a relationship" so that she can use it as a way to thwart unwanted advances ("sorry, I have a boyfriend").
Would keeping our relationship status as "in a relationship" be beneficial to me? I know a lot of girls in high school talked to me who didn't before after I had a gf, but would that work the same in college where nobody would know either of us? Any experiences with things similar to this would be appreciated.

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: should I keep my relationship status on fb as "in a relationship" although I'm going to a different college/breaking off romantic relations than my gf?
