Today, I met a nice guy who wanted to chat. I didn't want to be the bitchy type and throw him the "I have a boyfriend" line right away, so I conversed with him. When he asked was I single I, of course, said no. He yelled at me and made a huge scene about me leading him on. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was talking to a nice guy on a dating app and we exchanged numbers. Later, I got a call. It was his wife asking me to stop talking to her husband. FML
Today, a guy approached me at a party. He made small talk and said he wanted to get to know me. I've had enough of men's bullshit after what my exes put me through, and chimed back with, "Why? So you can then leave me for someone else when you get bored with me?" I do this to every potential suitor, and I hate it. FML
Today, a cute guy asked me if I was single. When I said yes, he said "Yeah, you look like the type", and walked away. FML
Today, once again, I told a guy who’s been hounding me for ages that I’m not interested. After being asked repeatedly and turning him down politely for so long, I finally snapped and cussed his ass out. Now I’m known as "the bitch" for hurting such a "nice guy's" feelings. I need new friends. FML
Today, I hit it off with this really sweet, attractive guy. He asked me a question that I felt uncomfortable answering, and I had a complete mental breakdown like a menstruating teenager when I declined to answer. This is why I'm single. FML
Today, I was minding my own business when the guy I have a crush on sat down next to me at work, explained that he heard that I had a crush on him and that he was flattered, but that we should "be friends" because I'm a "nice girl". I was rejected by someone I didn't even pursue. FML
Today, I was talking to a guy I liked. He was dumped so he was ranting about how there's no good girls left. I mustered up some courage and told him I was a good girl and that I would treat him right, at which point he pretended to have an emergency phone call and abruptly left. He talked to his lock screen. FML
Today, I chatted to a nice guy and gave him my number. I told him I was going to sleep because I had a headache, and then put my phone on silent. He rang multiple times, and when I obviously didn't pick up, he sent several texts insulting me and calling me gutless for not responding. FML
Today, a man reminded me five times how much of a "nice guy" he was during our first conversation, saying also that I seem the sort to date the "bad guys" because I looked sweet and innocent. Then, without waiting for me to say something, he sighed and walked away, muttering that he always finished last. FML
Today, an attractive guy approached me and struck up a conversation. He was friendly and sweet, and gave me his number. As I walked away, my first thought was that someone had played a cruel joke on me. I've had such awful relationships that I can't recognize when someone is actually being sincere. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Tough call - People are not always clear on their intentions. I do not think OP did anything wrong. Sometimes people are just friendly and like talking to another person. Sometimes it’s only about looking for a potential dating partner. The difference in the signs can be subtle at times. I think the guy has to be a complete jerk to react that way - Be thankful you were not on a date with such a piece of work.

A lot of men feel like we owe them something. Tell them you have a boyfriend right off the bat? ''God, what's your problem, I was just saying hello!'' Wait a few minutes? ''You led me on!'' Either way, they're getting a 'no' and there's no good time to say that if they feel entitled

Come on, you should know that you can't even give a man the time of day without him thinking you want to sleep with him.

Walking and listening to music is also very risky.

It’s not funny if the FMLs aren’t similar.

It seems we as decent people just can't win when dealing with the opposite sex anymore.

I guess the “nice guy” part was just a façade. It usually is.

It's more graceful to just mention in conversation, "My boyfriend likes that show, too" or some such thing. Much smoother.

Does he think "Are you single?" is just a hookup line and not a real question?

You seem to have gotten confuzzled... You were the nice one and he was the one who had to worry about being bitchy xD

YDI, be honest next time. As a guy, we are used to being rejected, unless you look like Beckham.

How was she not honest?

She WAS honest! Going to guess you're one of the "nice guys" too right?

Pretending to be nice and thinking people should line up and suck your dick as a reward is being dishonest. People like that get rejected not only for lacking in their looks and chasing out of league but also for seriously lacking in the common sense / personality department. I really don't understand people like that "oh I think you're hot so I pretend I'm nice but you shouldn't reject me because of looks or any other reason and be with me solely because I pretend I'm nice". People like that are single for a reason. And the tantrum when they get rejected... Hilarious.

Sometimes you just can’t win.
