Today, I re-joined a popular on-line dating service. I first signed up 3 years ago and was matched with a wonderful woman. After about a year, she broke up with me. I was devastated. After two years of trying to win her back, I decided it's best just to move on. Guess who they matched me with? FML
I agree, your life sucks (21871) - you totally deserved it (2725)

How about just not worrying about it period?
Really, I don't know why people are all like "I NEED COMPANIONSHIP NOW!"

Oh shit, never mind.
YBDI=You both deserve it.
My fail.

Why does it suck? If neither of you have changed your specs, OF COURSE the site would match you up again. Duu-uuuuhhh.

Indeed. Are you surprised that the software that matched you with her did not keep up with your relationship and update its compatibility function accordingly?
I agree with Erindub! You should let love happen naturally. :)

Please tell me how 'love happens naturally'. I would honestly effing like to know because I have been looking hardcore for a boyfriend for ages and so far online dating seems to be the most efficient way to meet someone without having to go to a loud club or a bar.
I just get SO pissed at people who down internet dating. Not everyone is a social butterfly and some of us want to avoid those who simply want to get laid and online dating helps.
Stop LOOKING for a boyfriend, #12. And stop whining about it.

I hope you do not use FML as a dating site, #12. That would be too hardcore even for me.
Has anyone noticed that us calling each other by numbers is like S.P.E.C.T.R.E. from James Bond?

Apparently looking for someone naturally isn't possible for people anymore. I met my current boyfriend totally on accident after I decided to stop dating years ago (since all the men I ended up with were all the same--in it only for the sex and nothing more). I just let life happen and now I'm with a man I can't ever imagine being without.
But...some people apparently NEED to date forcibly rather than just letting one thing lead to another I guess. Whatever floats and sinks their boat.
People have never been socially incredible. Some of the majority are starting to realize that Christian marriage is not the most ideal thing in the world and our soul purpose in life is not to pump out 6 kids and not beat your wife. Its a sad fact that we are becoming more and more aware of our empty and pointless existence. Life is truly, Luckster, Whatever floats (or sinks) your boat.

Seriously, it does happen that way, just not for everyone. That would make movies way less interesting.

I have a better question #12, how does love happen unnaturally?
#67 - On 11/06/2009 at 2:49am by WTFsGoingOn
u sound like a desperate. Omfg I want a bf. How sad is that? I'm 18teen and I would never ever go on a date with someone who I have meet over the internet.

Online dating IS natural. It's just as natural as videoconferencing or using a phone to call your sweetheart for this day and age.
It simply is another avenue for dating, it does NOT mean something is wrong with you or you are socially inept. It is the people out there who use others for sex, lie or cheat, or are not sincere in relationships that are socially inept. Alot of people who use online dating are just tired of these games and actually want a mature, honest relationship.

am so sorry... keep trying and you shall find a better match !!!

Tell her it's a sign and that you two should actually be together. Then sleep with her. Then move on.
#6 - On 11/05/2009 at 2:19pm by GreenHacker
Yeah. Me, too! I'm stumped by this mystery.
I'm guessing either Kate Gosselin or Jenny Sanford? Am I close?
I gots to know!
i agree with #6 :)
but still 2 years of trying to win someone back is way too much!!!
#9 - On 11/05/2009 at 2:23pm by lebrockshard
Maybe it is because when you filled out the questionnaire you answered every question by giving her name.
#11 - On 11/05/2009 at 2:32pm by I_am_stupid_also
go to a damn bar, loser. cut that online dating crap out.
#16 - On 11/05/2009 at 2:43pm by FrozenSoliid
just because you have things in common with some1 who you were matched with on a "dating site" doesnt mean that you are made for eachother
actually some people dont get matches so they pick some person and say they match
that and just cause you have things in common does not mean that it will work with the two of you. not to say that sometimes it will but you need more than Similar Interests to be a match.
but if it works for you best of luck
#33 - On 11/05/2009 at 4:02pm by inconvienentgurl
Thats not an FML its a website. if it matched you 2 up before and you put basically the same shit for your account and she still has hers its obviously gonna recommend you both again.
well if her profile is still up and updated i guess shes not having much luck either. id find comfort in knowing she isnt dating anyone happily now either.
and i know lots of people who ARE happily dating people they met online. my aunt and uncle actually met online and married. i dont think they are losers at all
#26 - On 11/05/2009 at 3:07pm by plutosaplanet
Maybe it's because you went back on the SAME site. It really isn't surprising that you were matched up with her again... so try another online dating site.
#31 - On 11/05/2009 at 3:40pm by Avenging_Angel
THEN WHO WAS DATE?!
But seriously, it seems like the site should be programmed not to match the same two people twice :P.
Yeah for real! I dated a guy for a year and a half (met through work) and 4 years later we were set up by the dating site as well!! def didnt go back to him, but i told some people about it who said sometimes relatives get set up with each other too because they are so similar.

Wow. Quit whining about not being able to find a bf #12 are you really that insecure that you need a bf to be happy? I feel bad for you. I really do. And OP get a life. Two years trying to win her back? That's truly sad. I don't care if you're not social that's not an excuse to turn to online dating just wait okay you will find someone when the time is right someone will come to you.
#38 - On 11/05/2009 at 4:42pm by LikeOhMahGoose
You're misinterpreting me. I'm not an insecure person but as a member of the human race I like most others get to a point that you want a romantic partner. And no I don't sit pining all day every day for someone but i'm not going to lie and say i wouldn't like someone in my life.
#12, you don't have to get hitched instantly. go travel the world or something that you know you won't be able do while your married. if you can afford to in this shitty economy :(
#48 - On 11/05/2009 at 7:15pm by hXcsoccerplaya
I give up. Who was it? Because, I'm sooo blonde that I have absolutely no clue as to who this might be. xDD
#51 - On 11/05/2009 at 7:54pm by cheetahboo2010
TWO YEARS??? TWO fucking years??
The reality is that they probably had no one as pathetic as yourself with whom they could match you. So the computer defaulted to your one previous match, hoping that would be worth something.
Here's some advice: get a life, find some self-respect, and THEN you'll be more likely to be "matched" with someone normal.
#53 - On 11/05/2009 at 8:39pm by FerrariCake
As harsh as your post sounds, FerrariCake, I have to completely agree. OP, please cancel your membership, don't date for a while, take time to work on your personal issues (which sound pretty significant from what you posted). Good luck.
#54 - On 11/05/2009 at 9:26pm by lostfaithinpppl
big deal that shit happens on dating sites. man the fuck up and block her and move on. she clearly doesnt like you, and youll see what a waste those 2 years were when you find someone who actually likes you back. quit being a whiner
Why is everybody saying shit about online dating? My boyfriend and I met through the are you interested app on facebook, and it turned out we had mutual friends(in real life). We love eachother and are talking about getting engaged.
OP-your only problem is that you chased after somebody for 2 years. Try a different website.
the internetz are in your favor. go for it. I suggest dressing up as a giant rose and singing outside of her house. at two in the morning. and remember, the more she tells you she doesnt like you, the more she really does.
i suggest u stop going on dating services n go out in the real life an find someone!
#60 - On 11/05/2009 at 11:18pm by kravitzz1990
Well, duh. If they matched you with her once, then there's the possibility that it might happen again, even if just by accident. Give it a rest already. This isn't even remotely FML material.
#72 - On 11/06/2009 at 10:01am by blastvortex
depends on why she broke up with you did you cheat or something or do you have a weird animal fetish ¿
that fucking sucks.
I was in love with a guy.. hell, still am.. for years now. Evry singl dating site I join, guess who is the best match for me within 100 miles? Yeaaaah. So I feel for you.
i just think its sad that u cant find a person in your every day life and that u need a computer to tell you who ur match is.that,is what would depress me.
