Today, my best friend confessed to having feelings for me. I've been in love with her for a long time, so I was ecstatic. She doesn't see herself ever going out with me, though, because she's a couple of inches taller and can't imagine herself "towering" over her man. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my best friend who I have been secretly in love with forever, was ranting about her ex-girlfriend. Then she said : "If only you were gay, we'd be perfect for each other." I took the chance to tell her I was. She responded : "Well, I'm still not attracted to you though." FML
Today, it was my best friend's wedding. The night ended with her in tears outside her hotel suite, where she confessed that she has a serious crush on me. I have a serious crush on her too. We're both straight women. I'm really confused. FML
Today, I found out that one of my best friends likes the girl that I like. What's funny is that my best friend is also a girl, and has a better chance with her than I do. FML
Today, my best friend told me she's been in love with me for over 4 years. I'm getting married to the man of my dreams in a month and she's supposed to be my bridesmaid. "Awkward" doesn't even begin to describe our friendship right now. FML
Today, I planned on "breaking up" with my best friend by confessing my love for her, hoping she would feel different and move on. She reciprocated. FML
Today, I confessed to my best friend that I love him and always have. He whispered to himself, "Why do the fat chicks always want me?" FML
Today, I invited over my best friend, whom I've loved for over a year, since she had to tell me "something important". I got excited and thought she was going to tell me she loved me too. She ended up coming out to me, and wanted to know if I would meet her girlfriend. FML
Today, I found out that my best friend likes the same person as I do, but she doesn’t know that I'm in love with him, and she keeps sending me their flirty texts. FML
Today, I realized I've fallen for my best friend. Private conversations suggest she feels the same, but around others she dismisses love as "stupid". I don't want things to become awkward, but I feel like I should walk away instead of burying my feelings to maintain the friendship. FML
Today, I've had a crush on my friend for a long time, and everyone around us had convinced me that he had feelings too, so I finally confessed. I got sister/friend-zoned. I'm trying not to cry myself to sleep. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If she's willing to give up the guy she likes for a height difference then that's just pathetic.

Wear stilts. Problem solved.

Yeah, that's really low of her. It doesn't sound like that big of a problem

You're right, it seems like a pretty SMALL issue.

If she gives him up for a few inches now, just imagine how it'd be latter... OP dodged a bullet here in my opinion.

Doesn't sound like a very tall order for her to change her aversion to short dates.

Preferences ARE part of s relationship whether people want to admit it or not. So that's a deal breaker, you can't really help that. What's shitty of her is to admit feelings for him when she didn't have intentions of dating him.

I consider a lot of my physical preferences to be more like bonus points. Nice but in no way mandatory.

Why is it completely acceptable for a girl to refuse to date a short guy but a guy who refuses to date a fat girl is an insensitive asshole? And you can lose weight, but you can't just grow a few inches.
Flyndaran 10
False equivalency. It's okay for anyone to refuse to date anyone for any reason, period. The right to choose who you date belongs to you and you alone. No one deserves to date you against your wishes and preferences.
DoomedGemini 38
There's nothing wrong with a guy refusing to date a heavier girl. Everyone can say that they only want personality all they want but the truth is being attracted to someone is a big thing, and most people have physical things they like or dislike. People are called "shallow" but the fact is it's hard to make a relationship work if you are not FULLY attracted to them, both personality and physically

ikr, talk about double standards.

Well, ..... Shit.... Sorry for you. Jeep trying...
Welshite 40
Yeah, he sure did Dodge that one.
kmaheynoway 25
I don't think he could afFORD to lose her.
Welshite 40
At least she didn't accuse him of thinking she was Fiat.

Jeep is car company

#92 maybe because j is right next to k and it was a spelling error.

Ya know what they say! Height doesn't matter when you're laying down.
Welshite 40
Wear stilts. Problem solved.

Totally unrelated but every time I hear "well shit!" I remember you, Welshite.
Welshite 40
Aww it makes me go all warm and cuddly inside when my name is attached to unfortunate events. :')

Seriously man, I keep expecting you to comment 'you called?' everytime someone comments with 'well shit'.

Whenever I see a razor commercial, I think of Welshite because his profile pic looks like a razor when you're not zoomed in.

I wear shoes that make me 3in taller all the time they really work! I'm thinking of buying dress shoes too that increase height by 4 in so my gf can wear heels when we need to dress up.
bethers_ 22
If her feelings for you are true, that shouldn't really matter! Try to talk to her about it.

I agree. Communication is key. Pull her aside, grab a chair, sit down or stand on it if you need to... Jk, but seriously, talk to her about that. She may or may not be that shallow. I'm pretty tall and I've been attracted to quite a few guys shorter than me but never pursued anything more with them not because I didn't want to, but I assumed THEY would be uncomfortable with my height. Maybe she brought it up to see if you had an issue with the (slight) height difference between you two. Idk. Best of luck, OP!
JazNim17 18
Agreed as well. This girl needs to figure out what is really important to her: her feelings for this guy or his height. I used to say I would never date a guy shorter than me, but then I met a guy that I just clicked with, and suddenly it didn't matter that he was two inches shorter than me. OP's friend needs to figure out her priorities.
Ohshitdude 21
Sounds like you fell short of your goal.
teazyfisher 15
They were too high to reach.
NotPatSajak 11
She really is stooping low in her expectations in guys.
SideOfTheAngels 23
Tall girl problems:short guy problems. That sucks, but there are heaps of girls who'd go out with shorter guys - the fault is in her mentality, not the fact she is taller. Hopefully you aren't takin it too hard :)
hockeygoalie13 15
I totally agree! My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost 6 years now, but when we started dating I was 7 inches taller than him. Now we are the same height. It has in no way affected any part of our relationship.
VeganVampyre 27
So... You were in middle school when you started dating and he had a growth spurt? Or did you shrink in the wash? How do you close a 7 inch height difference??
hockeygoalie13 15
We were freshmen when we started dating, so he had a growth spurt.
alex_622 22
If she has feelings for you OP, why doesn't she want to go out with you? But still, keep your chine up OP. It'll get better
Surge_Heart 12
It says in the FML why she doesn't want to go out with him :)
pimpmilk69 18
just say where I lack inches in height I compensate down lower.
