You can say you’re in a relationship with any of your Facebook friends without their permission. When you claim such a thing, it goes to the other person’s Timeline Review, and if they approve, the relationship announcement is blasted to everyone on the other person’s friends’ News Feeds at that time. However, it gets blasted out to YOUR friends’ News Feeds immediately, before they even have a chance to approve. Have fun with that information!
