Today, I asked a girl to prom by having 5 friends hold up signs saying "P-R-O-M-?" while I snuck up behind her. She said yes... to my friend holding the "?", who she thought was the one asking her. FML

Today, I had an elaborate plan to ask this girl to Prom, and it was going to take a few minutes to set up. I asked my friend to distract her. He decided to distract her by asking her to Prom. She said "Yes". FML

Today, I asked a short girl to prom by making a "You must be this tall to say no" sign. She grabbed a chair, stood on it, and then said no. FML

Today, after telling a friend I was contemplating asking a girl to prom, my friend took my phone, told me to have some balls, and texted the girl asking her to prom. She said no, because I asked her over text instead of in person. She refuses to believe I didn't send the text. FML

Today, I was going to ask this girl I love to homecoming. I set up a scavenger hunt, and my friend led her through it. At the end of the scavenger hunt I had a note that said, "Homecoming?" She said yes and hugged my friend. When I told her it was me who was asking, she laughed and said no. FML

Today, I decided to ask my friend to the school dance, which is one where the girls ask the guys. I spent hours placing signs down his street so he would see them on his way home. As I was waiting in his driveway with balloons, I saw his car reverse and go in the opposite direction. FML

Today, I passed the girl I like a note asking her out, signed Mark H. She picked it up, read it, turned around and asked me, "Do you know who Mark H. is?" FML

Today, I found a note in my locker from a really hot guy asking me to prom. I went up to him saying how excited I was to go. He said "Oh you got the note?" and slipped it into the locker next to me. FML

Today, at a restaurant, I happily watched as my boyfriend of three years got down on his knees and proposed to me. Before I could say yes and hug him, a girl flung herself at him, kissed him and shouted, "Yes!" With us still highly confused, she then ran away. FML

Aww, I'm sorry OP. That's sucks. Maybe explain the situation, and hope your friend isn't a douche.

Well this is a definite ydi for not thinking this through. You put 5 other guys for her to choose from and you stay behind.... Bad idea, unless you are Brad Pitt...

Ok, so that backfired. she obviously liked the idea. Can't blame her though. you were nowhere in sight. the question is, what did your friend do?

maybe you should have made just one sign that doesn't require 5 people to choose from?... or you could have just asked without signs?

Yo.....if I were you, I would've been a couch potato after this incident. Regardless, how did things work out for you, OP?

So sorry OP! In all fairness, you should have been holding the question mark, I can easily see how she would get that mixed up. Never sneak up on a woman! LOL I hope everything worked out and your friend was cool enough to explain. If not, maybe she just likes him and in which case, try asking someone else! :)
