Will you go out with me to the End?
Wishfully thinking
Wishing you were here
With my own personal Jesus -- someone to hear my prayers, someone who cares
With my statistically significant other
Writing a love letter
Yes, I'm alone, but I'm alone and free
Yes, we're lovers, and that is that
You can be my wingman any time
You cannot grasp the true form
You know I want to but I'm in too deep
You spin me right round, baby
You're a beautiful woman, probably
YOU'RE TEARING ME APART LISA
You're the prettiest girl this side of the Mississippi

    Original OP 
Well, ok, I did set mine.

I'm not pining! I'm passed on! This Rotpar is no more! I have ceased to be! I've expired and gone to meet my maker! I'm a stiff! Bereft of life, I rest in peace! If you hadn't nailed me to the perch I'd be pushing up the daisies! My metabolic processes are now history! I'm off the twig! I've kicked the bucket, I've shuffled off the mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleeding choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-ROTPAR!!

Seriously, guys, brilliant little Valentine's Day thing.

While I was checking the profile page source to get a list of the relationship statuses, I discovered why the sledgehammer one(s) appears at the top of the list: there's a space at the start.

Anyway, here's the list:

I am not sure. The note has been there for years.

I haven't been adding statues because more and more kept getting suggested. I still think adding once a year for valentines is a good idea. Although we have a lot of statuses as it is

The relationship status deleter just got fixed, so I deleted the duplicates and submitted a fixed version of "I wanna be your sledgehammer" (the old version(s) had a space at the beginning that caused it to be listed at the top)

Edit: I also removed "not set", since it's redundant with "-not set" and the latter is more useful because it's listed at the top.

OK, between there being a lot of statuses and at least two members of the mod team (me and Macron) wanting to slow down with adding statuses, we're limiting additions to adding them once per year, before Valentine's Day (late January/early February). Suggestions will be voted on in a crowner, and the amount of options to be added will be decided on a case-by-case basis when it's time to vote instead of being decided immediately, and options must have a ratio of at least 2.5:1 to have consensus (instead of the 2:1 minimum usually used on the site).

I just realized that one of my suggestions should be "The best thing that ever happened to a bum like me"

The current one says

"The best thing to ever happen to a bum like me"

My mistake. Feel free to correct it if convenient.
