Today, I managed to convince the girl of my dreams to stop being so shy, and put herself out there to get her crush to make a move. It worked. And yet as it turns out, I'm not her crush after all. FML

Wicked game

Today, I was gonna tell my crush that I love her, but I found out that she has a fiancé. She kept it secret so I would carry on helping her in her studies, like a fool. She was acting like she liked me, but she never did. Now it seems very obvious. FML

Today, the girl I like asked me to take over her shift at the place we both work at. Being nice, I readily took over. Later, I found out she went on a date with my best friend. He knows I like her. FML

In the zone

Today, I was flirting with a girl I like when she confessed she was into another guy. I then proceeded to wingman for that guy, telling her to take her shot with him before the chance went away. Effectively sticking myself into the friendzone. FML

You put her interests before your own, no shame in that.

You're playing 3D chess, my friend! If you advocated her dumping him, she'd suspect you were doing it for selfish reasons. Now, she'll think you're putting her happiness first, so when she eventually dumps the chump, you'll own her. Well played!

Honestly that shows how much you really care about her. It was unselfish on your part. Besides depending on the circumstances, trying to convince her to breakup with her boyfriend could very easily backfire.

That's a good thing. You focused on her happiness.

At least, you believe he had her happiness in mind. And if she believes it, all the better.

You were trying to do a good deed and will be rewarded for that in one way or another, believe it. Either way if they’re not meant to work then their relationship won’t work even if Cupid himself is standing there shooting them with arrows and giving love advice. Then, it could be your move.

That's the plot of the movie "Bedazzled". You'll lose her, but meet someone just like her, and have a chance to live happily ever after.

Today, I learned the meaning behind the phrase, "Love you long time". It's from the movie Full Metal Jacket, when a hooker comes in and says, "Me so horny, me love you long time." I've been saying this to my parents and people at school, having no idea what it really means for over 2 weeks. FML

Today, while at my tutoring job, a middle school kid couldn't find a word in the online dictionary. I told him he could check a regular paperback dictionary. His response was, "That's what you did in your day. That's not what we do in our day." I'm only 19. FML
