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
I agree, your life sucks (25811) - you totally deserved it (7298)

Actually, not so dumb. She never mentioned actually watching the movie. Take out "texting and" and all you have is "[I'm] p.s. I love you" ... how does that mean "I'm watching P.S. I Love You"? So it's her fault for being a stupid twit.

Texting, it's the only way people express their feelings, sorrows, and breakups these days.

He thought she did admitted her feelings in the first place. Why not reply in that manner?
Let's rework the FML...
"Today, the guy I like texted me, asking what I was doing. Feeling brave, I responded "texting and p.s. I love you." He never replied. FML."
IE: If she had meant it like he thought she did, then him NOT responding would have screwed it up, unless he immediately hopped in the car and came over... then I guess that can be called spontaneously romantic, but it's a good thing he didn't since that's not what she meant.
What he did wasn't wrong in the slightest, he was just misfortunate.

If I expected that someone confessed their feelings for me through a text message, I would call them. Interpretation and personal expression are just as important as the words you choose, so if you throw that out the window by limiting yourself to a text message then you deserve it. Emotions =/= emoticons.
You can express yourself through text. How the hell do you think poetry started? lol
Okay, sure, calling might have been better, but generally we're a sheep-esque species. We tend to do what the another person does first. Is it always what you should do? No... but I don't think she would have faulted him for spilling his heart out in text if that's what she did first, and in any case I don't think it's right to.
#29 - On 10/11/2009 at 9:48pm by DameGreyWulf
At least you got it out there in the open. If she didn't take it the way you hoped, then you at least found out that she was a lost cause. Even if she said "I mean the movie" you should've said "Oh...my mistake...though it doesn't make what I said any less true." Though if someone texting me something like that, I'd immediately call them and see if it really was what I thought it was and not something else, like it was here. You don't really deserve anything. You professed your feelings, which were true, to the girl you liked. Is that really a bad thing?
Poetry started by word of mouth. And you can hardly argue that it is a clear means of communication of one's feelings. You can almost never discern the authors original intent in decent poetry, there's an entire critical movement about it. We are a sheepish society because people continually fail to fault people for being sheepish. If the lemming would simply stop and say, "Hey guys, maybe jumping off this cliff isn't the best way to go about this" their reputation might be a little more respectable. I mean, I text all the time. I'm not going to crucify the guy, but he could have given the situation a little more thought.
Reason tends to go right out the window when we're enamored. [shrugs]

lol guys, we're alright, its not like we're not friends anymore
(pinoyson here btw)
#53 - On 10/12/2009 at 2:00am by wesaynotoemo
why would she said and then? ps doesn't make sense with an and before it... thus OP is a dumbass. Admittedly the girl was stupid for not including a verb. Oh hell, they're both stupid, they deserve each other!
#66 - On 10/12/2009 at 9:11am by pointerdog
awwwww i feel bad for the op. i would probably do the same thing, dont worry
#96 - On 10/15/2009 at 3:55pm by silentmusic
Aww. Didn't it kind of sound like a random thing for her to say?
That sucks anyway. Hopefully you didn't scare her.
eh, dont sweat it too much
its an easy mistake to make
#4 - On 10/11/2009 at 7:17pm by Hillbilly_Deluxe
Awww. Well, at least you opened up? Of course you come off as random as hell but...
#5 - On 10/11/2009 at 7:18pm by DameGreyWulf
It really is your fault for not knowing about the movie.
It only makes sense that the text was talking about it.
It would be too strange of a text otherwise.
#16 - On 10/11/2009 at 8:12pm by TheLetterZero
Are you serious? Not everyone cares to be "up to date" on movies. I didn't know what movie this was until looking it up. And since it seemed like it turned into a flop, I don't blame the OP for the miscommunication. It's the girls fault for not stating more clearly that she was watching a movie and assuming OP knew what she was talking about
Girl: texting a ps.I love you
Guy: Ive loved u ever since i laid my eyes on u! Ur beautiful and funny and smart and i
#20 - On 10/11/2009 at 8:27pm by scateice
I really hope this is secretly someone from Ontario, finally posting Rob's story...
If not, the same thing happened to a kid in my grade he's still chirped almopst daily about it, even though it happened over a year ago...I lol'd.
#21 - On 10/11/2009 at 8:29pm by Sugar_Celebi
awww that sucks, what did she say? you gotta tell a girl your feelings sometime, it's good to do that. it makes you a man, and it's just good to do. waitling forever isn't always good lol.
#24 - On 10/11/2009 at 8:47pm by Scotticus117
YDI for liking a girl who has terrible taste in movies.
#27 - On 10/11/2009 at 9:25pm by wakawakawaka
Meant to happen. Don't keep that stuff a secret if it means something to you.
btw, dont drive and text...
damn , that sucks , i feel for you man . but hey , at least you told her how you feel . i wish i had the balls to do that , personally . its not your fault , how could you have known ? you took a shot and got owned , it happens , life goes on , try not to sweat it to much .
This is a win, you don't want to date a girl who likes that movie. It's so bad, it gave me cancer.
#34 - On 10/11/2009 at 10:16pm by cooperisacat
You can't expect ppl to know every movie. You especially can't expect a guy to know the name of every chick flick. That's just not fair.
that movie sucks ass, I'm serious!
pick a girl who likes better movies, i'm sorry that she fails at texting too.
We have no idea if she liked the movie or not. All we know is that she was watching it with her friends. They might have all thought it sucked!
#38 are you stupid? That wasn't a jump to conclusion. He came to a valid conclusion. He wouldn't have known that she was watching a movie unless he's stalking her.
OP, FYL you got led on though.
#40 - On 10/11/2009 at 11:34pm by 2Chances2Fail
I agree with 38, actually.
When someone sent me a text message asking "do you like my vagina?" I looked it up as a song before assuming she was asking me if I liked hers.
You don't just assume she will randomly tell you she loves you.
#41 - On 10/11/2009 at 11:37pm by dudeitsdanny
#41 I don't think I'd do that. And some people do tell other people they love them out of the blue.
#42 - On 10/11/2009 at 11:43pm by 2Chances2Fail
#89, actually, I've been told that randomly before. People do it all the time. Like sometimes they'll be like, "Oh, by the way, I love you." and I'm just like "Wait, what?"
it's a common thing. but either way, it's jumping to a conclusion. and if you haven't heard of the movie, it's even easier to get confused.
OP: that sucks. I would've replied with "... That was really random... O.o" but that's just me....
#90 - On 10/12/2009 at 10:08pm by RazorFox16
Well, at least you got it out, rather than keeping it inside of you, and regretting not telling her for the rest of your life.
#43 - On 10/11/2009 at 11:54pm by iconoclasT
You shouldn't be telling your feelings for her through text in the first place, in person is classic and the manly way to do it.
That's a good movie...but how is that an FML? The fact that she didn't say anything romantic back to you? She probably didn't know what to say =/ Or she was distracted by the hot Irish guys running around without shirts on =P
This is only an FML if she didn't feel the same, and even so, better you got it out then being stuck wondering.
To all those people who say YDI for telling her how you feel over text.....I completely disagree. I"m not suggesting we should live our lives behind our gadgets, which seems to be the trend more and more, but there is nothing wrong with expressing yourself through the written word.
However, I do have an issue with people who use the written word vaguely, with bad grammar, missing words, and incorrect punctuation. Not only does it make it hard for people to understand the message you're trying to get across, but it makes you look uneducated.
If she had written "texting and watching 'PS I Love You'", without dropping random words and using quotation marks, this never would have been an issue.
I'm a LITTLE more lenient about texts. I still try to use entire sentences and words, unless my text is going to be really freaking long. So I'm not as anal about people texting as I am about people on instant message or a blog.
I have to say though, while I might not have automatically gotten to the conclusion that she was watching a movie because of how she worded that, I can guaranteee I wouldn't have jumped to the "zomg she totally loves me!" conclusion. The wording was way too weird.
I knew it was the movie the moment I read it. And for all of you being so touchy over the matter- why? It's a waste to get all worked up over someone and their problems. RELAXXXX.
#60 - On 10/12/2009 at 7:49am by SamShakedown
It is very amusing to come on here and read everyone fighting about every little thing.
"OMG, your opinion is different from mine!?!?!?! You're stupid!!"
"WTF?? Your grammar sucks!! Here, let me show you how bad my grammar is while trying to call you out on yours."
"OP, You deserve it because my life sucks and I'm very insecure!"
Thank you all for bringing me amusement every day!! :-D
#61 - On 10/12/2009 at 8:04am by j_rock1981
It could have been worse. Imagine what OP would have done if the ladies were watching "Feel Up My Ass"
ouch. "watching p.s. i love you" would have been very helpful.
#68 - On 10/12/2009 at 10:25am by JessxMaxine
That's a fantastic movie. It doesn't really help you out much, but at least you know she has good taste in movies!
#72 - On 10/12/2009 at 11:29am by triplethreat13
Awww, dude. That sucks so hard, dude. Don't you just hate it when you love someone, and then you make a total fool out of yourself when you think they love you back?
this is why o rly? was invented
she could either be like yea. its so saddd!!!! then anyone with common sense is like ohhhhh the movie
or she could be like yes i want you
see problem solved with 4 letters and a question mark
Ouch. But at least you finally told her how you feel; there's plenty of fish in the sea. =)
#82 - On 10/12/2009 at 5:01pm by pot_n_kettle
would most people say "huh?" when someone texts you that but i guess your not most people
#84 - On 10/12/2009 at 7:16pm by lakeview
omg that tottaly sucks...oh i actually feel REALLY bad for u...i wud lik 2 beat da crapp outta her dumbazz
hey think of the bright side...u were prolly too much of a pussy to say anything till then so hey she may like you back and if not then go find another bitch! always look at the bright side of life broskee
HAHAHAHAHAHA Thats what you men get for not watching movies with us, these incidents happen
#91 - On 10/12/2009 at 10:15pm by HateGreenPeas
Wow, you're pretty damn stupid. He never said if he knew it was the name of a film or not, but even so that's beside the point.
Hey, how did she respond (i'm guessing by the way u post it, it was kinda embarassing), but still how did she respond?
#97 - On 10/18/2009 at 9:49pm by JayEhEnEaTee
Haha awesome. Dude don't worry did the exact same thing earlier this week. Got some joke message from a girl i fancied that ended in asking me whether i like pepsi or coke better or something. Should've known it was an evil hoax. Point is, I spilt my guts about her. Key is not to deny but to outline your humiliation with grace. make some token joke about feeling like ben stiller in one of his hideous romantic comedies. You'll still be a loser in her eyes though so, you know, learn to ride a motorbike or pick up boxing. But at least it won't be weird between you two love-birds.
expressing your feelings for someone over ANYTHING electronic is not right to do! =P
#101 - On 10/22/2009 at 9:39pm by vanavril14
yea. ive done that too but she said aww i love you too. get moment lol
