Dating, First Dates and Love: Let down

Let down

By heartbreakkid21 - 14/05/2009 15:22 - United States

Today, I was on a date with this girl I actually like. The date was going really well and it seemed like it would be a good night. While in the movie theater, I went to hold her hand and instead she gave me a hand shake and said, "You're so funny, I'm so glad we're friends". FML

Today, the girl I've had a crush on decided she wanted to see a movie with me. I tried to hold her hand during the movie and it was great for about 4 minutes. Then she said "Can I have my hand back?" FML

Today, I was on a date with this girl. I attempted to put my arm around her, but I elbowed her in the face instead. FML

Today, I was on a date with a girl I've had feelings for since I was 14 (I'm 22). I took her out to dinner, then to a movie that we both liked and had a few drinks afterwards. I thought it was going really well until I was driving her home and she asked to be dropped off at her boyfriend's house. FML

Today, I had a date with the girl I've been interested in for months. I'm pretty laid-back and casual with my friends, which backfired and caused the date to end with a slap, when I greeted her with a friendly "S'up, slut?" FML

Today, I asked the girl I like if she wanted to go to the movies, she said yes and I said I'd let her pick the movie. She picked the movie, "Just Friends". FML

Today, my friends set me up on a blind date. I thought it went well, and while saying our goodbyes, I leaned in to give her a kiss. She pulled way, laughed, "I'm not drunk enough for that," and left. FML

Double standard

By Sara1990 - 23/08/2010 11:40 - Australia

Today, I went on a double date with my bestfriend. At the end of the night, her boyfriend gave her a long kiss, and texted her 5 minutes after we left to say he missed her already. My boyfriend picked his nose, then gave me a fist bump as a goodbye. FML

Today, I took a girl out on a date. We had dinner, we had good conversation, the vibe was excellent, and everything was great. I took her to a bar I frequent after for a couple of drinks to finish the night. She left with some other dude on his motorcycle. FML

Sucks. Sounds like both of you had a different idea of what was going on...

#27/davidtheday, I was thinking the same thing. But yeah, I agree with some of the comments here that sometimes we girls don't know we're on a "date" because the guy never specified that it was one. We don't find out until during the date or slightly after (restrospectively) that it was, and we're caught in an awkward situation. However, I think the first red flag that it's a date is when the guy pays for both tickets. So... hm.

Number 7, don't tell him that - just because a girl likes you as a friend doesn't mean at some stage she'll like you as more. I know what you mean, but 3 in 4 cases that's not true.

to elaborate on #62, she was probably asked out in a subtle, cop-out type way, didn't realize it was a date, then she DID, freaked out, and tried to think of a way to let him know she wasn't interested. then the opportunity presented itself. it's happened to me.

I think some guys assume we know it's a date or think it's okay not to call it a "date" because then they can be given the "I like you as a friend" lecture. Poor guy, maybe next time make sure she knows and is a willing participant in a date not a friend on a night out.

Unlucky man. You're probably going to be stuck there now - but enjoy that, at least. FYL. However, had you perhaps made your intentions clearer earlier, things might have gone better. Anyway, good luck for the future.

ouch, the old "glad we're friends" line... that one always hurts, but who knows, maybe she'll see that you're interested in things being more than just friends... hope it works out for ya! and LOL at #10, that could've TOTALLY happened too...
