Today, I paused the movie my girlfriend and I were watching and told her, for the first time, that I loved her. Her response was to stare at me silently for a few seconds before unpausing the film. FML

Today, I told my girlfriend I love her for the first time. She said, "Thanks." FML
Today, I said "I love you" to my girlfriend for the first time. She responded with, "I'm just gonna pretend I never heard that." FML
Today, I told my girlfriend of two years that I love her. She replied, "Um, I don't mean to be rude, but can you just shut up?" FML
Today, I finally told my girlfriend of four months that I love her. Her response was, "Uh... thanks?" FML
Today, I was texting a girl that I've liked for some time. When I asked her what she was doing, she replied "texting and p.s. I love you". I replied by telling her my feelings for her. Turns out "p.s. I love you" was the name of the movie she was watching with her friends. FML
Today, to my surprise my girlfriend said, "I've never felt this way before." We have been dating for six months, and I knew that I loved her, so I replied, "Me neither, I love you." There was a long awkward pause. Turns out, she was talking about her abnormally painful period cramps. FML
Today, I worked up the courage to tell my girlfriend that I love her. She made a face like she'd just sucked on a lemon and said, "Um... yay, I guess...?" and awkwardly left the room. FML
Today, my fiancé proposed to me at the movies. The movie stopped in the middle, and my fiancé stands up, takes out a microphone and announces to the entire theatre that he loves me. Right when he went on one knee, someone shouts, "Turn the movie back on!", and throws a cup of coke at my head. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I were at the movies. When the "love scene" came on, she leaned over and made out with the wrong man. FML
Today, I finally told the girl I've been after for more than a year that I'm attracted to her. Her response? A slight hug with a pat on the back as she said "There, there." FML

Whether this is an FML or YDI depends on the movie.

To clarify, professing your love during, for example, Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter, isn't exactly the most romantic of situations.

It also depends on how long they were dating. If they were only together for a week or two then he definitely deserved it. We need more information.

If there was blood anywhere on the screen it really just doesn't seem appropriate.

OP and girlfriend watching 300, Leonidus: "THIS IS SPARTA!". *pauses* OP: "Honey I love you". Yeah not the best time to propose.

Now if it was during Twilight.....That's a different story
priceyfml 7
Still a better love story than twilight
hannaaaahr 33
Or during a sex scene, that could give a wrong idea
easyprey 8
I said I love you the first time during Star Wars empire strikes back :D I got better results though..
Llama_Face89 33
66- or the right idea. ;)
Proughboy 7
If somebody paused Star Wars to tell me they love me, I would decapitate them. Nobody interrupts Star Wars.
Pretty_reckless_fml 18
Are ya kiddin!? My boyfriend already tells me he loves me, but if he said it during something like Star Wars I'd be on his lightsaber like yoda' wanna know :P (sorry about the bad pun, just wanted a Star Wars one haha, thumb me down if you luke ;P)

Unless it's menstrual blood like in Carrie!
Awes0meperson 10
Even if it's the blood of a baby being born?
SinfulEnd 20
If it was twilight, you stood no chance...
Zebediabolical 43
I can just see it... "Luke. I am your" *click* "I love you." *click* "... father..."

you'll be fine. she must feel atleast something towards you otherwise she would have laughed at you or just left.
MrsPegg 45
I agree. When my first real love told me he loved me, I was so in shock I didn't say anything... This first love is now my husband and we've been together almost 9 years. So, it could be she was in shock or freaked out. Stay positive OP; no telling where this may lead! ;)
Vimy 6
Agreed. If she's still with you then she must have feelings for you. She just might not be ready to say it back. People don't fall in love at the same rate, at the same time. Just because you have realized your love doesn't mean she has realized her own feelings. That first I love you is a big deal and shouldn't be thrown around haplessly, so you should just give her some time to get there. Better to say it and mean it, than to say it to only please you. Then it would meaningless. I wish you luck OP, don't give up yet!

Maybe she just didn't know what to say. I can almost feel the awkwardness through this FML...

I Love You is always a spur of the moment thing. If you have to save it up to blurt out at a specific time then it becomes contrived.
DestinysChampion 17
Ouch. Least she could say is "Thanks, Honey, I'll remember that", right?
In_some_bullshit 13
In my opinion, Thank you is worse than No response... But idk I've always had guys say it first...
KiddNYC1O 20
I'd rather be slapped on the face than a thank you...
Soloman212 28
74; I guess you're the kinky type.
stargirl_95 24
32 - There's an even worse response than "thank you". I've heard of someone who said, "Really? I love me too!"
LadyClarik 8
You could have picked a better or more romantic time to say it. A weird word vomit in the middle of a paused movie....not sure what the proper response would be to that.
cricket55 14
To stare silently for a few seconds, and then unpause the movie.
Lucia_Malpense 14
To be fair, it could've been a romantic movie.
MissMae93 23
That's the most unromantic first "I love you" I've ever heard.
lilhellian 26
Says "I love you" in a monotone voice...
shmoelover 13
Apparently she didn't even think it deserved an awkward I obviously don't love you back, 'thank you'.
screenager5 35
That's way more awkward than silence, I would think...

Where's the hot tub time machine now?
MuseFan1991 14
if you really felt the need to reference a TV time machine, the TARDIS or DeLorean would have been much better options. just sayin'
0dd80d 21
Oh man. Memories. I'd go with the TARDIS.

Lots of women don't like "cinema interruptus" -- you should have said it before or after the movie. Otherwise, sit Djibouti down and stay quiet while the show is on.
Enslaved 36
So I guess his "booty" is next to Ethiopia?
bigwiensch 15
give her a dick in a box
SerpentBoy 8
Just don't give it to her during the movie.... she may just stare at it..
maggySNP 12
She was thinking wether or not to say it back, I guess you know what she chose!
