Today, my mother and father are insisting that I go on a date with a German exchange student they met at the weekend. Why? Because we have similar glasses. FML

Today, I went on a first date with a guy I really like. He brought up that there was a person staring at us from a nearby table. That person was my mom. FML

Today, my mom booked a family trip to Sweden. This would be great, if she hadn't asked me to tell our former German exchange student that we were coming to visit her in Germany. She was thrilled. Now I have to be the one to let her down. FML

Today, my dad was teasing me, saying a guy would have to be blind to go on a date with me. I then introduced him to my new, visually impaired boyfriend. He hasn't stopped laughing. FML

Today, I went on blind date with a guy because both our moms thought we'd like eachother. Things were going really well until I got up to go to the bathroom and he says: "My mom was right, you do have perfect breedin' hips!" FML

Today, my girlfriend and I were being driven home from our date by her mother. She's Jewish and I'm Catholic. Her mother was talking about how my girlfriend was going on a trip to Jerusalem that summer. She finished with "And you can find a nice Jewish boy while you're there." FML

I NEVER say this, but there's a first time for everything. SO ******* WHAT?! You got a date! And German is ******* awesome (the language atleast, I've never like, been to Germany). So go you. Not an FML in any sense of the word.

I wish I had a foreign exchange student date =( Don't worry about it. You can always buy different glasses later on. *shrug*

Only way I can see this as a FML is if he can't get a date himself and his parents have to do it for him

i moderated this and said no. you people can't blame the mods, we have a very small selection of decent FMLs, most of the stories we moderate are terribly written and most of the time they're just plain stupid. "today i died fml" "ok so omg i like liked this guy and omg he like rejected me!! fml!!!!" those are some typical submissions we deal with and we constantly say no to. cut us some slack.

Hm. Well, looks like you're in a win/ loose/ fail situation here, aren't you? So, if you go on the date and like it, then you hit it off and had fun :D If you don't, an hour or 2 wasted... Or were they saying you're wearing glasses of the opposite gender? Then thats a differnt story! Thats even worse than an old hobo punching a baby while having **** sex. Your life is ******!

Well -- get ready for hairy legs and pits---some German girls don't bother to shave. At any rate, as an exchange student, she'll be gone in a year or less.
