Today, I bought the girl I like a bouquet of roses saying "anonymous" on it, and left it on her front porch. She saw it, and called the guy she thought it was from. He said "you're welcome" and now they're going out. FML
I agree, your life sucks (15318) - you totally deserved it (25274)

(0)Precisely this. Girls are attracted to me with guts.

(0)what about you without guts? although that would make you dead. however some people are into that. so you got that going for you.
#61 - On 09/21/2009 at 4:25pm by Plumppotato
(0)If you actually watch that show you deserve to... nah I'm not even going to say it=P

(0)Next time, reach down, grab the pair and man up. Seriously. To be honest bro, getting told no ain't that bad.
(0)Well if you're too afraid to take a chance with her and have to give her a gift behind anonymity, YDI.
#2 - On 09/21/2009 at 6:17am by theanonymoose
(0)You deserve it for not letting her know who the flowers were from. Get some balls, man! What were you afraid of?
(0)what is signing anonymous going to get you? why would she think its you and not any other sketch ball that might do it. it would make sense for her to think it was someone she already had a relationship with.
(0)too much of a pansy to give them to her yourself? or did you think she'd immediately know who they're from?
(0)It sounds like an adorable gesture I don't think YDI, but if you weren't giving them to her personally you should of had the guts to sign your name. All well hun, better luck next time. You live and learn (:

(0)ahhh sucks dude. you can be there for her when they break up and he admits he never bought her those
#13 - On 09/21/2009 at 6:58am by Xx_f_us_all
(0)Your life sucks, but you deserve it for not having the balls to put your name on it or at least your number. Come on that would have been a clear indicator that it wasn't the other guy.
#15 - On 09/21/2009 at 7:02am by HiddenAce91
(0)You put 'anonymous' and were surprised for her to mistake you for someone else... WTF?! Seriously... you should have just put your name on the damn roses.
(0)Ouch. Hopefully you learned from this. Even if she didn't like you she'd still think you were sweet.
#17 - On 09/21/2009 at 7:19am by 1ParanoidAndroid
(+1)you have a name for something.
go and tell her that you sent it.
#21 - On 09/21/2009 at 8:04am by x_sta
(0)i bet you wish you signed your name now ayee, mate?
sucks to be you. YDI
#22 - On 09/21/2009 at 8:08am by KirstieeJadee
(0)It's not like you could have had sex with her anyway, seeing as how you don't have any balls.
#24 - On 09/21/2009 at 8:27am by someguy945
(0)You're probably just her creepy stalker. How else would you know how their phone conversation went?
(0)Agreed. But I also think the OP should dump that dude's body in the lake.
#26 - On 09/21/2009 at 8:41am by moonlight_daze
(0)1. no one likes a creep
2. grow a pair she ain't going to kill you
3. if your that shy how will you pick up girls?
YDI for thinking she's a psychic and i hope you learn from this mistake
(0)I'm gonna take a wild guess and say this isn't an FML at all. Maybe the guy she thought it was was the OP, and now OP and girl are going out.
#29 - On 09/21/2009 at 9:14am by hardcoredoug
I would guess that isn't the case; its creative, but I don't think the OP would have posted here if he got the girl.
#30 - On 09/21/2009 at 9:41am by synchroskater
(0)I'm kind of half and half on this one:
FYL because I can understand the mindset that: "Oh, if I do something spontaneous and mysterious, she'll appreciate it." It's kind of like the secret admirer concept.. It's fun for both parties and I can understand doing it IF you already have talked to her/shown your feelings. If you did it solely because you were afraid to talk to her, that's horrble and YDI, but if you did it just to be a little creative (while cliche) then FYL.
However, you deserve it for not telling her that the flowers were really from you. Don't be a whimp and let that guy walk all over your gesture. Also, have a backup plan to show her who did it in the first place.. Put in some sort of inside-joke or something.
I don't think you giving the roses anonymously demonstrates that you don't have a pair, but the fact that you didn't stand up for yourself does.

(0)I would be a little confused if Anon sent me roses too.....
#35 - On 09/21/2009 at 10:21am by Intoxicunt
(0)As romantic as that may have seemed, unless she was a middle schooler, girls don't want gifts from a 'secret admirer'. They want guys to grow some balls and say that they're interested. I'd be much more impressed by a guy who came straight out and said he liked me, as opposed to one who anonymously left flowers on my doorstep. That would probably creep me out and make me think I had a stalker or something. You completely deserve it.
#36 - On 09/21/2009 at 10:38am by PoeticPixie
(0)DUMBASS... That's why you don't put anonymous. Grow a pair and put your real name next time.
#39 - On 09/21/2009 at 10:54am by iamelrebel
(0)Man up and get them delivered straight TO her with your NAME. If you want to play guessing games go back to preschool.
#40 - On 09/21/2009 at 11:05am by ohJeeznotme
(0)wow that's just so retarded o.O so if you think that u'd mention "anonymous", she's gonna know it's you..? you should at least learn from the other fml's that this is not the way to roll with a girl you like..
YDI, big time.
#42 - On 09/21/2009 at 11:19am by jessicaiscool
(0)I agree with you mmmmallory.
I should let this dude borrow one of my testicles; every man should have at least ONE.
#44 - On 09/21/2009 at 12:47pm by JeremytheJackass
(0)haha you deserve it, grow some balls and sign your name..bitch.
#47 - On 09/21/2009 at 1:27pm by kisseshugsdrugs
(0)Stupid. what are you, 10? anonymous love hints never work.
#49 - On 09/21/2009 at 1:28pm by Subjectzero
(0)Hey boys, just because we're in the 21st century doesn't mean we have our mind reading helmets yet.
Seriously, if I got flowers that had a card saying "anonymous", I would have thrown them away. Anonymity is for 3rd grade construction paper valentine cards.
(0)I can only assume (since you didn't sign your name) that you were giving her the flowers just to make her day, and not because you wanted to get a response from her. So, seems to me it was a sweet thing to do. That being said, you probably should have made a move on the girl you liked. YDI for never making a move.
#51 - On 09/21/2009 at 2:20pm by bigcrazymike
(0)What are you, some kind of pussy that reads dime-store romance novels?
A little math word problem for ya.
She gets flowers signed 'anonymous'. You are one guy out of ALL the guys she knows. What are the odds that she even thinks of YOU??
(0)Next time try, oh I don't know, actually putting your name down instead of attempting to be "mysterious" or whatever you thought you were doing.
#53 - On 09/21/2009 at 3:03pm by SarlaccBits
(0)On the other hand...
"Today, I was telling some friends of ours the story of how I got together with my husband - he bought me a dozen roses with no name, but I instinctively knew it was him! Tonight he told me he never bought me any flowers. We've been married for five years, and our relationship is built on a lie. FML."
So, really, you get the last laugh.
(0)You deserve it! If you're too chickens**t to put your name on the flowers, you don't deserve her! Man up next time!
#56 - On 09/21/2009 at 3:37pm by phatdaddy62
(0)I like how many people think the OP has no balls. I wonder if they all saw him naked.
Perverts.
And OP, try to come clean and maybe justice will prevail.
Then again, in today's society, it probably won't.
(I know what it means, it's just annoying and stupid.)
#57 - On 09/21/2009 at 4:00pm by TheLetterZero
(0)I dont think he's stupid or anything. I think its more manly that he didn't write his name. It shows he's a nice person for just wanting to make her happy with flowers than signing his name and hoping hell get something back.
(0)You think, after all the FMLs of this nature, people would learn.
Be open about your feelings with the people you care about, or you will miss your chance.
(0)you should've put "call this number to find your secret admirer" and put your number.
#67 - On 09/21/2009 at 6:34pm by xSceneSceneBabyx
(0)How many movies and popular TV shows feature this exact scenario?
And how many times does the whole secret admirer thing actually work?
If it doesn't even work on TV, then it definitely won't work in real life.
#68 - On 09/21/2009 at 7:15pm by mycleverusername
(0)Well you win some, and you lose some. Don't stress too much about it. Next time be sure to put some way to trace it back to you.
#70 - On 09/21/2009 at 7:39pm by NorfolkDude
(0)Fake... You got this from the suite life of zach and kody -.-
#71 - On 09/21/2009 at 7:56pm by bubblyblonde
(0)wow, bubblyblonde...who watches the Disney channel WAAAAY too much to know that...
oh,
you.
#72 - On 09/21/2009 at 8:01pm by marenchristine18
(0)how would you know she called him unless you tapped her phone or something?
#73 - On 09/21/2009 at 9:13pm by melilikiki
you probly should've put your name...or something that reminded her of you :)
just some friendly advise
#75 - On 09/21/2009 at 11:05pm by ohsosweet
(0)Putting your name is more romantic than anonymous.
At least, if she knows you.
#76 - On 09/21/2009 at 11:25pm by DameGreyWulf
(0)You need to say something like "oh did you like the flowers i left on your poarch"?
Even so its that she knows her new BF is a lieing to her already.
If you really like her, you wont let her be with someone based on a lie, cause if he will lie to her about this he probably will again and hurt her.
#77 - On 09/21/2009 at 11:26pm by diamondsparkley
(0)You know, you have a very good point.
Then again, if she was stupid enough to go a random guy and say "thanks for the flowers" without any proof, you're probably better off either way.
#78 - On 09/21/2009 at 11:57pm by DameGreyWulf
(0)YOU DESERVE IT for being a passive wuss. Good job!
#80 - On 09/22/2009 at 12:30am by noshitsherlock
(0)I have to agree with the "half and half on this one" sentiment. I actually just sent roses a few days ago to a girl, anonymously, and I'll be the first to admit that it was because of a combination of lacking self-confidence and a desire to be mysterious and fun; and I justified this to myself by saying that making her happy was more important to me than being recognized for my efforts (but at the same time, I *did* really want her to know it was from me). So I did the smart thing, and I talked to her that morning before the flowers were delivered, tried my best to subtlely drop hints, and that night she put up an AIM status message saying that she wishes she knew who sent her the flowers. So I talked to her again the following morning, told her the truth, and she said she had pretty much figured it was me, anyway, she just wanted me to tell her myself.
So, the moral of the story, OP, is that what you did *was* a sweet gesture, but you need to be smarter about it in the future, if you ever try this again.
#81 - On 09/22/2009 at 2:08am by deadloverseyes
(0)Send her a note that says it was you. She will hate the other guy for lying
#85 - On 09/23/2009 at 3:12am by Noamfer
(0)Aww man, you should've put your name on there. =(
And anyway, to the rest of the people who are giving him a rough time about it: he's probably really shy. That's a hard thing to get over for a lot of people.
But next time, don't be afraid to take a chance! =)
#92 - On 10/03/2009 at 4:22pm by the_lololagist
(0)u shud leave anuva in the same writing as before sayin sumfink like "My envy is, as green as a tree, that man who's your boyfriend, is not actually me."
i know that one's cheesy, but it's just an example. anyway, u cud sign ur name or say "meet me at..."
it wud b romantic
#93 - On 10/25/2009 at 6:15pm by SickToDeath
(0)Everyone said you lacked guts, perhaps, but you're also romantic. Like poetry eh?
