Kudos for releasing the app! IMHO, Unless you're married, don't put your relationship status on FB. Set it as hidden, or say nothing. When things change, and in life they do... the people from whom you don't want to hear are the first to notice and / or comment on it.
Is marriage more stable than other forms of relationship?

#92One little suggestion: If two people select themselves, why wait until they breakup?
If you mean that the site should say "X is monitoring you", that would be a big privacy issue since one could simply select all friends and see who is interested in oneselves.

#94If I secretly admire a person, I would've been stalking her profile very regularly already. This app is not too useful to me personally.

#96A few days ago, my fiancee and her mom were talking about setting up a nice guy with my fiancee's sister. Unfortunately, said guy is in a relationship. My mother-in-law to be suggested it would be nice to know when the relationship was over (jokingly). I blurted out that I could make something that could do that in a couple of hours. By then, I knew I had to do it. The application was built on Google Appengine, Djang…

You managed to turn a simple feature request into subtle anti-gay propaganda, whether you meant it or not.
I see. I think people are being too sensitive.
If you turned:
"It's cool to support gay people and all, but if I'm straight I shouldn't have to look at all the dudes when I'm clicking who I'm interested in."
into:
"If I'm straight I shouldn't have to look at all the dudes when I'm clicking who I'm interested in."
I don't think people would misunderstand it.

Only every 24 hours?!? But when the window is open, you RUN! Did Ted Mosby teach us nothing?
24hrs is not 'be the first to know', probably all her/his friends will know that before. When I changed status I had a dozen comments in SECONDS.
