Facebook wall posts are overrated.
Mature, intimate lovers and (very) close friends hardly 'wall' each other. Married couples especially don't use it to communicate, unless they want to be silly and romantic on occasion, maybe.
I myself seldom wall the people I cherish the most. The intimacy of a private message is far more appealing. Even better: a face to face get-together, or a phone call. This may reflect a personal preference though. I prefer sharing with my loved one(s) without having to advertise our sphere to the rest of the world.
Facebook walls, then, are generally for friendly greetings, harmless discussions, and among younger users: territorial marking. It is interesting to observe how the latter works: a wall post from an opposite sex would soon be followed a barrage from other competitors - all of whom boast a 'special' connection with the wall owner. I always find this kind of posts comical and therefore amusing.
Still, such territorial marking does cause enough insecurity that many are urged to regularly check on their inamoratas' wall posts. Sadly, the wall offers no reliable information on the inamorata's true romantic interest.
So if you really want to secure a romantic position: go ahead, ask, and work your way there. Be proactive.
