Today, I went out with a girl I've been dating. I dropped her off and she finally asked me if I wanted to come in. When I did, she asked me to change a light bulb in her kitchen, and then promptly sent me home. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was on a date with a girl I've had feelings for since I was 14 (I'm 22). I took her out to dinner, then to a movie that we both liked and had a few drinks afterwards. I thought it was going really well until I was driving her home and she asked to be dropped off at her boyfriend's house. FML
Today, my girlfriend left me. When she moved out, she even took the light bulbs with her. FML
Today, I asked a girl I liked what she was doing tomorrow night. She replied, "Cleaning, so nothing really." I then asked her out to dinner. She declined. FML
Today, I was cuddling with the girl I've been seeing for the past few months. She was saying how much she liked me and how much I meant to her. Reciprocating those feelings, I asked her to be my girlfriend. It was a HARD no for her. Then she drove me an hour and a half home. FML
Today, I went on a date with a girl I like. Afterwards, I drove her home, and we just sat there awkwardly. I thought she wanted to kiss me but was nervous, so I jokingly said, "What're you waiting for? Christmas?" I guess she took that as a "Get the hell out", because she broke into tears and left. FML
Today, after spending a great evening with the guy I really like, he dropped me off outside my house. When he pulled into my driveway, his lights shone onto my drunken mum taking the garbage out in nothing but her black panties. FML
Today, the girl I like was panicking because her car broke down, so I offered her a lift to wherever she needed to be. I drove her to her boyfriend's house. She asked me to drive her home in the morning. FML
Today, I was working as a service writer in an auto service shop. A really cute girl came in to buy a headlight, I offered to install the bulb for her. My hand got stuck behind the headlight, she had to ask one of our mechanics to come remove the air box from her car to get my hand out. FML
Today, I brought a girl home from the bar. After sleeping together, she drunkenly stumbles to the bathroom to wash up. On her way back, she accidentally walks into my parents' room, turns on the lights and asks where her clothes are before figuring it out. FML
Today, I brought a girl back to my place. She commented on how neat and clean everything was for a bachelor. I absentmindedly said, “Yeah, my mom comes over and cleans three times a week.” She made a face like I'd just told her I eat puppies or something, then made an excuse to leave. FML

How many dates does it take to change a lightbulb? Only one, it seems.

Sounds like she changed her mind and used that as an excuse because changing a light bulb isn't that difficult.

This is kind of embarrassing, but I beg to differ. I have these weird ceiling lamps and I can never get the case to unscrew while balancing on a chair. So I can't even get to the light bulb to change it. So, for me anyway, it is that difficult.

you can purchase a bulb screwed (no OP) that basically is as long as a broom handle. long enough to reach your ceiling without needing a chair

That's so messed up.

Maybe she was making a point that she was completely happy to let you wait. Just the way you've phrased it; 'finally' makes me think you're hovering around her hoping for a shag. I may be wrong though.

If you are thinking "FML" because you didn't get laid, and instead did something nice for someone, then I think your priorities are a little off and SHE dodged the bullet on this one. Good for her.

If she invited him in and then only had him do a favour, she's not that nice of a person. Instead of trading on OP's attraction to her, she could have said "Before you go, can you do me a favour....." and made it completely clear what she was after.

Agreeing with 59. It would honestly be messed up on HER part if she in invited him in with unclear motives. If she was honest from the beginning, I am certain OP would still help her out (they have been dating according to the FML) and he also wouldn't have had any expectations. But as always, FMLs never have the full story on both sides.
