Today, I went to a social event with a very attractive male co-worker. Things were going awesome, we were flirting and really hitting it off. Then his 'wife' called. FML
I agree, your life sucks (15024) - you totally deserved it (4067)

No you fail, if she wasn't thinking of it as a date then this wouldn't have been posted as an FML. Still not an FML though

yup, totally her fault the guy cheats on his wife. oh, men and their never ending douchebaggery.
#29 - On 10/30/2009 at 6:57pm by gothic_cat_lady
First off, the dude wasn't cheating on his wife. I mean, I personally don't constitute talking to another person as "cheating". And anyway, I think this person took his talk the wrong way. This could have been simple small talk for the guy, but because the OP found the man to be attractive, of course she would interpret it as flirting. It's all objective, and the OP probably made it sound biased.

Oh, pimpin88 and his prepubescent nonsensical rambles. I can always count on you when I forget about the amount of idiocy and ignorance in the world. I hope that you never grow up and pull your head of your ass, and can maintain your innocent stupidity forever. Just never vote, mind you.
lmmmr, you took the words right out of my mouth. Or, off my keyboard.

Yeah #29, what a douche. Such a back-stabbing, cheating liar for going to an event for work with a co-worker.
Gothic-Cat-lady?
No wonder you hate men so much, Just because no guys look at you, doesn't mean they're douchebags. Go get some sun
#59 - On 10/31/2009 at 2:26pm by StealthStorm67
i count it as a date, but the first thing i say to a guy is not- are you married? and if she didn't think it was a date, why was she so mad? btw, why is wife in quotation marks? is it suggesting she didn't believe him or something?
that may have worked out better... I bet cell reception in the janitors closet at your work social event is not existent... she might not have found out until post blow-job which actually would work out better for him I would imagine.

any man who would accept a phone call from their wife is obviously not trying to hide anything- therefore, probably always wears his ring- therefore, YDI for not doing a ring check
#11 - On 10/30/2009 at 5:28pm by OhHerrrooo
Not every married guy does. My father would take a phone call with my mother and vice versa (They are married). Neither of them wear their wedding rings, nor would they deny that they are married in any way.
Shouldnt you have known he was married since you work together; hell what about a ring? I'm calling BS on this one.

such a boring fml, the fmls are getting worse everytime. Not laughable worse- just not funny worse.
#15 - On 10/30/2009 at 5:47pm by CherryKatie
Wow calm down. For the record, a "social event" is clearly not a date. Ive gone to many social events with coworkers of the opposite sex, hanging out with someone of the opposite sex does not constitute a date. Also, just because the OP thinks they were flirting doesnt mean they were. It sounds like her coworker is pretty upfront about his marriage, he was probably being friendly and she was just hoping for something more.
Just because they were flirting and hitting it off at a social event does not mean that it was a date. Sure, maybe she thought it was one, but you always assume way too much with these things.
Oh, how I love/hate Pimpin88's thought-barfing.
#56 - On 10/31/2009 at 11:25am by Witchcraft
These FML's that get approved lately really are making me think this is why there should be a "so what" button. This FML is more like, "Today I found out that my attractive coworker is not single after flirting with him." Flirting and going to a social event with another woman may not be considered cheating for his wife. So you can't have a guy you thought was attractive. Get off the internet, and try again with a single guy. Not an FML, it probably happens all the time.
@#23-You my friend are an idiot. "If he gets to finish like me...." LOL, and your most impressive masterpiece "Ok just ok wheres my i feel ya bro button"
You sound like such a moron, I can't determine if you're just a little kid, or simply to dumb to realize how utterly stupid you sound.
Meh. I think that often one person considers it "flirting" while the other person is just trying to be sociable. It could be only the OP thought they were "really hitting it off" while the dude just thought he was being friendly.
If you "went with him" was it a date? If so, FYL. Otherwise, like everyone else said, YDI for not looking to see if he had a ring.
#33 - On 10/30/2009 at 7:11pm by cheetahboo2010
I think this was a date and he was cheating. Therefore, fyl and I hope you'll find a nice singel guy :)
#35 - On 10/30/2009 at 7:38pm by Julianneisasmurf
If he really was cheating, why would he take a call from his wife halfway through the so-called "date"? If he were *trying* to cheat, wouldn't he take the call and then tell OP it was just some friend of his?
How the hell is this an FML? Going to a social event with someone does not constitute a date! I doubt OP even thought it was a date, as they would probably have mentioned it in the FML (i.e. "Today, I went on a date with a coworker"; or, "Today, I went on what I thought was a date"). It seems to me like OP thinks their life is fucked just because a guy she flirted with has a wife.
Awesome is an adjective, not an adverb. Just for using truly horrible language you really deserve this and far worse.
wtf? She didn't use it as an adverb.. Go kill yourself dude.
#44 - On 10/30/2009 at 10:47pm by StealthStorm67
It's true that she didn't use an adverb, and that's precisely the problem. She tried to use a predicate adjective when she'd already used a participle. The two are incompatible. The phrase would've worked had she said, "things were going [awesomely]," or, "things were awesome." Note that the word "awesomely" is entirely optional in the first example - you either go with it or go without it; the word "awesome" doesn't work in that case.
Unfortunately, the sentence is a run-on since she apparently doesn't know the differences between a comma and a semicolon. I find this latter issue to be more annoying than the previous problem.

Not all men wear their wedding rings, my father doesn't because he doesn't like jewelery, at all. XD I do think it was a date type situation because she said she went "with" him to a social event, like a party I assume. FYL OP.
#37 - On 10/30/2009 at 7:45pm by _neutrality
Wow, stop complaining, you loser. He was NEVER yours, so what have you lost? NOTHING! Get over it.
#41 - On 10/30/2009 at 9:22pm by noshitsherlock
So did he nail you after he hung up with her?
I hate these FMLs where the real story is what happens NEXT and they don't tell it.
#47 - On 10/30/2009 at 11:50pm by FerrariCake
That doesn't mean that you can't still be his mistress. :3
#48 - On 10/31/2009 at 12:02am by blastvortex
Pretty much goes with the territory of getting attached to really attractive people. There's a lot more competition for them, and a lot more vomiting at the restaurant.
#51 - On 10/31/2009 at 1:53am by I_am_stupid_also
Why did you write wife in quotation marks? Is he not actually married? (Perhaps that's the FML? I don't know; I'm confused.)
Yes! I don't usually post grammar corrections, but in this case it really makes a difference.
"Wife" in quotation marks = he doesn't really have a wife, he just faked a call or something as an excuse.
Wife with no quotation marks = he has an actual wife.
I'm sure it's the second... but stupid unnecessary quotes.
I'm also very confused at the use of quotation points?!
But anyway, the OP doesn't imply that it was a date, just that she liked him and she thought something was going to happen between them but then she found out she was married.
Hardly an FML, i feel more sorry for his 'wife'
#58 - On 10/31/2009 at 1:07pm by lmaoatyourlife
Is the FML that the OP's co-worker pretended the phone call was from his wife when it was really someone else, as a ruse in order to blow her off? Or is the FML that the OP doesn't know how to use quotation marks correctly? :)
RETARD. she said she WENT WITH HER VERY ATTRACTIVE CO-WORKER.learn how to read.
the guy's probably a pig.
I think Pimpin is a fucking retard, but you thinking the guy is a pig just for attending a social event is just as niave. Don't be such a feminazi
#63 - On 10/31/2009 at 10:35pm by StealthStorm67
Pimpin88, kindly grow up, please. Your immature ramblings are giving me headaches.
#68 - On 11/01/2009 at 10:18am by Witchcraft
GTFO! Why didn't you ask to begin with. Who goes out on a date, and doesn't ask that? Who goes out without thinking about it, or checking? Wtf. YDI YDI YDI!
#64 - On 11/01/2009 at 12:24am by Alittlenegetive
How dumb are u people it says a SOCIAL-EVENT NOT A DATE!!!!! and anyways the OP has no one 2 be mad at but herself she probably assumed they were flirting besides that she should have checked the ring finger duhh commn sense
#65 - On 11/01/2009 at 1:02am by Lightz_Camera_Me
How would you know what's a date and what's not? You type like an eleven-year-old.
#69 - On 11/01/2009 at 10:20am by gummibehrs
I think we're all missing something here. The word wife is in quotes. This may mean that he was faking a call from a spouse to get away from the OP!
However, the more likely scenario is that people need to learn how to use quotation marks.
