Today, I went on a date with a guy I had been talking to online for weeks. When I showed up, he looked nothing like his profile picture, and he spent the entire time talking about his ex-girlfriend. FML

Today, I finally got a date with one of the hottest girls in school, a perfect 10. Just before I go to pick her up to go to the movies, I called her to find out where she lives. She answered the phone, only to hear my father yelling in the background, "STOP TALKING TO THAT WHORE." FML

Sorry OP, but it doesn't sound like she's worth it. You will be better off without her. I hope you meet the right girl soon!

Sometimes people don't pick up on social clues that what they're doing or saying might be taken badly by other people. I agree with whoever said you should've asked her what you did wrong, because you may be coming off as inappropriate or creepy and not even realize it.

She could've been nicer about it.

I kinda feel like you should've gotten that vibe from her without that text... I get the idea you may not be very good at reading signals and body language from girls. Sorry, don't mean it to be bitchy, but it sounds like she would've been trying to get that across to you before feeling the need to text it to you.....

I have a feeling OP isn't telling the story correctly. I've been in this situation enough times to see the difference. OP messed up somewhere along in the date. But hey, nothing wrong with laying the blame on others.

Completely agree. I dated a lot for fun when I was single, and I never once got a vibe that was so bad I felt the need to text that or even felt that. It's hard to not notice when you make someone that uncomfortable. I feel bad for OP, but he may need to look into reading signals better.

There are 300 million people in the USA, you'll find someone. Every one gets rejected, can't let it stop you from finding your happy ending.

Is no one else wondering if OP didn't do or say something to validate her response? Some people can be really creepy without realizing it.

Today, I went to see the doctor for my daughter and myself. I fell two weeks ago, I thought I'd sprained my ankle but apparently I broke my leg instead. I’ve been limping around for two weeks. My daughter was sick, which is the only reason I got X-rayed. It may need screws. FML

Today, I found out I have syphilis. I only slept with one person in my entire life, my boyfriend of 2 years. When I told him about it, he burst into tears and said, "It was one time at a company party" and "Maybe if you put some Vagisil or something, it will go away." Seriously? FML

Today, I took a bath because I couldn't get my left arm wet due to a minor medical procedure. My roommates decided to barge in to the bathroom and ruthlessly pelt me with flour. Not only did I find out flour burns the eyes, but the shock caused me to slip and submerge my arm. FML

Today, while packing up my classroom, I had a sudden stinging pain in my finger. Since I live in Arizona, my first thought was a black widow or scorpion, but the ER doctor didn't believe me and said it's nothing. Tell that to my tingling swollen arm. It’s been 4 hours. FML

Today, I was at the gym. At the end of my workout, I realised I lost the bundle of keys I had in my pocket that contained the key to my locker with all my stuff. I panic and start looking for them. After an hour of desperate searching, I find them thrown in the bottom of the public toilet. Thanks. FML
