Today, I saw the girl I had confessed my love to two years ago on the bus. We chatted for a few minutes and she got off on the first stop, saying that this is where she had to get off. Twenty minutes later, I see her in the bus next to mine. The bus number was 20. Like mine. FML
I agree, your life sucks (14732) - you totally deserved it (2965)

(-1)Basically, he confessed his love to a girl. She made an excuse about how she had to go, but in reality she didn't because he saw her on the same bus branch.
(+1)But he confessed his love two years ago. she got off just to avoid talking to him. Not because he confessed his love just then

(0)oooh ok sorry. wow that does suck, but maybe she just doesn't like you. bummer dude.

(+1)She was, however, nice enough to make up an excuse instead of just telling him to fuck off. It's not like the whole thing wasn't awkward for her.

(0)Yeah, because getting lied to is sosososososo nice, isn't it? The chick could have just told that she doesn't want to talk to him or something like that, not lie.
#57 - On 12/24/2009 at 7:02pm by loooooooooool
(0)yeah, but then he would have been like 'oh ma gawd, girl i was in love with told me she wasn't interested and didn't want to talk to me FML'.
OP, ur obviously annoying and clingy if she felt the need to do that. i've often felt like doing that to the odd person but the fact that she actually chose to do something as risky as changing buses to avoid any further confrontations with you indicates to me that you are a pathetic loser. D:

(+2)At least you made her "get off." Maybe in two more years, you can help her get off the fun way!
Bus #20? 20 minutes? Coincidence (*cue up "Twilight Zone" music*)?
(0)She got off the bus, waited for the next one, and that bus caught up to the one you were on? Looks like she had the right idea.

(0)This happens all the time in my city. I don't know why, but I can't tell you how many times I will be waiting for the bus, one won't come for thirty minutes (supposed to be every ten) and then, THREE WILL COME BY AT ONCE.
Actually, OP and I both live in California, so maybe it's the same damn city, who knows.
(+2)That totally happens where I live... You wait ages and then as if by miracle all of them show up at once... and you never know, maybe the one lane was faster than the other or just the bus driver's driving was different. You never know.

(0)Maybe because if the busses are timed close enough, the stops are empty because all the people at the stop are on the first bus en so the second bus doesn't need to stop and take passengers as many times as the first bus, and is therefore faster as the first bus. No rocket science.
(0)This happens all the time in London. Fucking bus drivers love racing each other. It's like a national sport over here. Really fun on the corners though with the double deckers. I've thrown up loads of times just going to the shops.
(0)Seems fake for that reason.. cause even on busy days, busses are usually at least 5-10 minutes difference, so she couldn't have been on the same bus # as him..

(0)I don't know how big your town is marc_with_a_c, but in London it is quite frequent for buses to arrive two or three together, because of traffic congestion and then, as EmilyCi says, the second bus has fewer passengers to pick up and so is quicker, and the third bus has even fewer and is quicker still, eventually causing two or three to arrive together.
(+4)How is that mean? She was trying to spare his feelings while getting out of an awkward situation. Obviously she hasn't reciprocated his feelings for the past few years. She could've made it into a situation but didn't, she decided to remove herself from the situation while leaving the guy his dignity. Unfortunately, the bus she got on passed his, and he found out, but she tried to spare his feelings.

(+5)So if a girl turns down a guy, she's mean, but if a girl got with every guy that made a move, she would be a whore. I guess girls just cant win.

(+2)YDI for creepily confessing your love to someone who you obviously were not in a relationship with, that's not love, that's infatuation
(-2)to #10 if you cant confess to someone that you have a crush on them/love them how are relationships suppost to happen?
#11 - On 12/24/2009 at 10:44am by mrfreak219
(+2)She's saying that love is not the same as infatuation or a crush. If the OP really "confessed his love" to her, that is a lot different than just saying "I have a crush on you; we should go out sometime."
#12 - On 12/24/2009 at 10:58am by cherylface
(-2)So you've never been friends with someone, fallen in love with them, and told them?
(Not saying they were friends, but it happens outside of 'relationships', is my point.)
#15 - On 12/24/2009 at 11:03am by GoddessDigi
(0)That was actually one of the things I first thought of when I saw #10's comment. I, in fact, have been in that situation, but it was still infatuation.
#16 - On 12/24/2009 at 11:09am by cherylface
(-1)My husband was just a friend, I got a crush/fell in love, and now hey look, we've been married a year. Real love happens that way, it's no uncommon. :p
#22 - On 12/24/2009 at 11:31am by GoddessDigi
(0)But you had the crush before you fell in love. I'm just saying it's not the same thing.
#24 - On 12/24/2009 at 11:39am by cherylface
(0)I still don't think you follow..
Yes, crush obviously came first, but I fell in love with him while we were still only good friends (admittedly more like best friends, but just friends nonetheless). It's just not that uncommon to fall in love with someone you're not actually dating.
#27 - On 12/24/2009 at 11:57am by GoddessDigi
(0)I completely understand. I wasn't making that point. My only point was that they are two different things. I never said you couldn't be in love with someone outside of a relationship.
#28 - On 12/24/2009 at 12:00pm by cherylface
(0)POINT IS.. this couldn't have been love.
They obviously weren't friends, or at least not even decent friends.
Let's stick to mocking/pitying the OP rather than fighting with each other =)
#58 - On 12/24/2009 at 9:20pm by dudeitsdanny
(0)It could have been love. Or some mild indigestion that the OP mistook love.
#67 - On 04/10/2010 at 8:57am by drawmesunshine
(0)Yea this is just dumb. You confessed your love two years ago. She doesn't feel the same way. Get over it, move on, and learn how to write. ydi for living on the past.
#13 - On 12/24/2009 at 11:00am by No_fyl_cuz_ydi
I would've done the same thing.. its a pretty normal thing to do
#14 - On 12/24/2009 at 11:03am by Alex_Zhen
(0)Jeez, what were you even chatting about that made her leave like that?
#18 - On 12/24/2009 at 11:15am by imperfectclarity
(0)its was quite expectable, everyone would feel uncomfortable in that Situation
#19 - On 12/24/2009 at 11:17am by 1337_RoXxXor
This is a repeat. I swear this EXZACT one ran like a year ago.
#21 - On 12/24/2009 at 11:29am by 3trobert
(0)And you learned from this....? I don't see how this is a FML. This girl doesn't want you. Find one who does.
#23 - On 12/24/2009 at 11:33am by Joceannora
(0)at least she tried to be nice about it. apparently you weren't appealing to her two years ago and you still aren't. she couldve just told you to screw off and then you'd have a fml. you're lucky she was nice.
(0)maybe she had to stop off somewhere at that first bus stop, and then carry on on the same bus route.
look on the bright side.
equally, maybe she was just trying to be nice instead of telling you to get off her back.
#29 - On 12/24/2009 at 12:28pm by Mikesta178
(0)This is not an FML. You should have known a long time ago that she did not like you back. Stop pining for her and focus on finding someone who will care about you as much as you do for them.
(+2)so he wants to talk to her. Talking to a girl doesnt mean you're trying to get with them
#35 - On 12/24/2009 at 1:22pm by polico_wolf
(0)let her go. find someone else. it's all you can do. you just torture yourself if you keep holding on.
(+1)She left because of something you said two years ago? You'd think she'd be over it by now. FYL
#37 - On 12/24/2009 at 1:30pm by ZombieKnickers
(0)I don't get the last 2 sentances. The 2 buses had the same number? What does that have to do with it?
(0)It clearly wasn't her stop. She got on the exact same bus to finish the journey but without the OP. I suppose it's so people don't think she got off that bus to go on a different bus going to a different place rather than her just getting off the bus to avoid him which is what she did.
#39 - On 12/24/2009 at 2:04pm by ZombieKnickers
(0)when u saw her ur body language gave u away, u shoulda just said "hey" and kept it moving like u wasnt pressed abt her. i can only imagine what u said...probably that u was still single
ps neva tell a girl ur single even if u are
#40 - On 12/24/2009 at 2:16pm by YouGotTold
(0)that's what happens when you confess your love to somebody you barely know! was there any possible way she could see you again and not consider it an awkward-situation-emergency? i mean, that kind of uneasiness sparks the fight or flight! you should just be glad she chose the fleeing option.
(0)...I dont like people like you...
He didnt barley know her, he did that 2 years ago. they lost touch.
#49 - On 12/24/2009 at 5:03pm by polico_wolf
(0)wait. you know what i'm like? no, i think you're making lots of assumptions and that's all. i can understand "i don't like the comment you made".
anyway, i see the point your making about them being close 2 years ago. the way the fml is written, i thought not only had the OP met her on the bus this time, but also the time when he had confessed his love to her. although that doesn't get around the fact that she left because she felt extremely awkward. ...i mean, why do you think she lost touch with him in the first place?
(0)of course she would, I mean do you even realize how awkward that must feel for her? You should've just sent her a simple nod and went on with your life, allowing her to move on to hers too.
