Today, I told my long-distance partner that I wanted to take them on a date to the aquarium next time they're in town. They said, "That would be my first date ever!" When I asked about when we went to the zoo and dinner last week, they said it was, "the closest thing to a date" they'd had. Apparently, we're actually just friends. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went on a date for the first time in eight months. He didn't make a move. I then asked if we were on a date. He said, "I don't know, I guess." I can't tell either. FML
Today, a guy took me out on a date. His imaginary friends joined us. FML
Today, I went on my first date in nearly a year. A few minutes into the meal, he called me "scrumptious" and made animal noises for the rest of it. FML
Today, my boyfriend went to get coffee with a friend. As a joke, I texted him to ask how his date with his other girlfriend was going. It really was a date, and apparently it went very well. FML
Today, I took a girl on a date. Her and her imaginary friends. FML
Today, I finally had a date, my first one in well over a year. Everything was going good, until my date asked, "Do you like cats or dogs better?" When I responded cats, my date promptly got up and left, saying, "This isn't meant to be." FML
Today, I went on a date for the first time in almost a year. To keep things casual, he had a couple of his friends join. Oh and by a couple of friends, I mean a party of people from his church. I'm not religious. The date wasn't even half over before I was being preached to. FML
Today, I went on a blind date. All my date would talk about was how he was 'really his own best friend'. FML

Today, I was hanging out with a friend at an ice cream place, and a guy started chatting with us. As he eventually went to leave, he told me, "That's a nice looking date you got there." Then he turned to my friend. "Wish I could say the same to you." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It sounds like she is interested. When you went to the zoo, it was as friends, but when you go to the aquarium, it’s a date. I don’t see mixed signals, I see potential

Maybe they prefer they/them pronouns

The language is so weird in this story. "Long-distance partner?" That's really an online pen pal. They are very snaky about gender. Are they trying to get a same-gender friend to turn gay? Too confusing!!

I totally don't understand this.

Why using « they » to write about what seems one person?

To conceal his or her gender.

They can also refer to one person, there are so many answers to this question!
