Today, I went to work early and saw my crush's car in the parking lot, so I parked next to her. After that, I looked over at her car to see her staring at me with a weird look and her saying, "Really?" Then she gestured around the lot; I looked around to find it completely empty. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after getting off the phone with a girl I'm interested in, I parked on campus and ate my lunch in the car. As I was sitting there, she appeared out of nowhere and walked to her car. I was parked directly behind her car, sitting there like a creepy ass. FML
Today, I watched my high school crush pull into the parking spot next to me, and then almost immediately he started backing out once he saw me parked next to him. FML
Today, I saw my crush working the only open till at the grocery store. When she saw me approach her queue, she immediately called for more cashiers. FML
Today, I found an empty parking space in a crowded parking lot. When I came back later, a lady and a cop were standing by my car. Her car used to be parked there and got stolen. They think I'm involved. FML
Today, I was catching the bus to my new job. While waiting at the lights, I decided to play the staring game and ended up staring at a woman in the car next to the bus for ages, really creeping her out. It turns out she's my new boss. FML
Today, I was at a party with my crush, but I didn’t talk to him. After, I walked out to my car, and saw a dent in my car. I then noticed that the dent was exactly the size of my crush’s head. FML
Today, I went on a date. We met in the parking lot of a restaurant. As I approached his car he took one look at me, said "Nope", and drove off. FML
Today, at a restaurant, I noticed a really hot girl leaving with her friend. A few minutes later they came back, laughing uncontrollably, and announced that some moron forgot to put on their parking brake and the car was rolling into the full parking lot. It was my car. They watched me chase it. FML
Today, I was on a first date with this girl I've been talking to. I met her and she came with me so I could park my car in the student lot. On the way back, I saw a beat up car with its window duct taped up and exclaimed "Haha! Look at that piece of junk." It was her car. FML
Today, I was showing a new girl around at school. As we were walking through the parking lot she noticed a green jeep and commented, "I heard the person who drives that is a total creep. Is he?" I said I didn't know who it was. It was my car. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I got to say that is a little creepy. You could've parked one or two spots down from her. Then if you saw her in her car you could act like you're looking for something until she got out. That way you could walk with her to work and have a casual conversation and maybe start something.

Don't give up OP! May be she's having a bad morning.

Or maybe she's just not interested, and doing anything more would come off as not being able to take a hint.

Encouraging someone to keep pursuing a person who doesn't seem interested is not helpful. I know you're trying to be nice, but it's not good for the OP or the girl.

Imagine having a guy you're not interested in continuously pursuing a relationship with you. Maybe you've all but outright told this guy to get lost. Maybe you have and he still tries. Maybe it's starting to feel like he's stalking you and he may or may not be as innocent as you may have thought when this crushing started. It sounds like he has been annoying her for a while and she's at the point that she doesn't try to hide her annoyance anymore.

4's advice to not give up is sound. It's just a parking spot, not an indication that she's not interested. It's more likely she thought it was weird and was all "wtf?!" because OP parked right next to her in an empty parking lot. OP should def keep pursuing her but should actually use his words and ask her out. If she says no, then she's not interested and that's when OP should back off and leave her alone.

Crush or not, a lot of the times when I park in an empty lot, others cars will park near me. It's like some unspoken rule for the majority of the vehicles to be packed together no matter how spacious the lot is.

It's a safety thing, like animals in a herd.
Lalala579121 28
Just like in the men's bathroom. You'd think other people would pick the other urinals, but nope. It's always the one right next to you.
species4872 20
Especially if your a women at the urinal.
RinoaHeartilly 36
I always thought it was the unspoken rule to try and give the other cars at least one spot of space. Just like bathroom stalls. Never go right next to a person if you can leave space.

I hate this "rule". I park my car away from people on purpose so I 1) have room to open my door and not ding others (drive a 2 door you'll understand) 2) so idiots dont open doors into my car.

It happens to me A LOT. The worst I have experienced (so far) was a huge cargo truck parked right next to mines (extremely close as well!) in a completely empty parking lot of a plaza! Good thing was that whoever the driver is decided to park it on the passenger's side and not the driver's side, otherwise that was some serious trolling he/she was playing.

I think its because its easier to judge if you're inside the line and not looking like an asshole if there's a car next to you..
RinoaHeartilly 36
Personally, I'm going to have to disagree with you, #57.

Perhaps things will go better in te future if she doesn't think you are a stalker or clingy

this would me less creepier ?

Yes plan it all out meticulously like a stalker trying to not look like a stalker

Plus, how could OP not have noticed the parking lot was COMPLETELY empty?

Someone's in bad mood

Try using your words instead of hovering in her personal space. Learn to empathize and understand how uncomfortable those kinds of actions make people, particularly women, feel. Physical proximity beyond what is required is by invitation only.

He parked next to her. I hardly consider someone parking their car near mine "invading my personal space."
Googolman 29
Maybe not to the OP's crush, but I'm sure her car felt completely violated after OP's car parked close to hers. Poor vehicle.
Kaylana_fml 31
It can feel pretty aggressive, even hostile, if someone is hovering around you all the time when the company isn't wanted. Being considerate of how someone feels is about how they are interpreting the situation from their point of view, not how you interpret it from yours.

Op's kinda shown when they can they'll try to get close to her. Not really a bad thing by itself, but she doesn't seem interested. Imagine a person you don't know, that you're not interested in doing so. Yes this is one instance but it shows op ignored surroundings focusing on the girl and will take any chance to be by her. Yeah it can be taken creepily and maybe scary
tristthor 11
After her gestures, you should have pulled out and parked on the other side of her. See if that makes her happier.
itsme82 18
Can't say I blame her. The way you handled this made you lionlike a creeper. I'm sure it wasn't your intention. As much as it sucks things went this way you can still turn it around. You have some good advice here and I can't think of anything useful to add. So go for it!!
