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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

well i want to say thanks as i am the shy type so he was more of a reactive type id say and probably hasn't had much luck with girls same as me but i wouldn't mind just being friends with a girls in fact id prefer female friends not that i have much friends or good ones really but from how shy i am its hard for me to talk to girls so i normally just ask for phone number and than we could text for a bit which would eventually calm the few times I've found courage i got told they had a boyfriend and that was it in the back of my head I'm like what about friends but it did hurt a bit and some girls just want that one relationship i know but one of the girls smiled at me and i had a good feeling but nope also i am wheelchair bound i think what would be best in situation similar to yours it would be best to state at the beginning that you have a bf but offer to be friends

Punctuation is important buddy, this comment was super hard to get through.

There are worlds between smiling and chatting a bit and offering to be friends. Do you only smile and chat with people you want to be in a relationship with?

We get yelled at for letting them know first thing we have a boyfriend, we get yelled at for "leading them on" when we don't tell them right away. We get yelled at for the "friend zone". Some guys need to learn to deal with the fact that not all woman want to sleep with them.

Why does a guy think just because a girl is talking to him that she is leading him on? Did his mother never speak with him?

I get the feeling most guys like this aren't going to have a long convo with a woman unless a lawyer is present.

The only time you become the bitchy type is when 1) you tell him that you have a boyfriend before hearing what he has to say and 2) when you tell him that you got a boyfriend when you actually don't. It's better to just tell a dude that you're not interested and you're sorry.

People have no obligation to disclose their relationship status to random creepy douchebags. People lie about not being single because some people are too stupid to understand a simple no.
Rabite 28
They are not too stupid to understand a no. They just have more respect for the boyfriends and none for the women they are approaching.

r/niceguys much?

Yeah I never get this. Because whenever I tell them I have a bf right away then they twist it around to be like "wtf are you talking about, I was just trying to have a friendly conversation with you?" But if you don't then they twist it around to say you lead them on. Lmao, no matter what, it's just our fault. Can't win haha

You cannot ever win this game. So **** the game, tell them right away when you notice flirty intentions that you have a partner and if they pretend that they weren't interested in the first place, shrug and let them go their way. They already spend enough time thinking their dick is the center of the universe, no need for you to feed that.

Ah, the "nice guys". Selfish idiots with zero emotional intelligence, usually without good looks and zero personality that think people (the attractive ones only, ofc) should line up to have sex with them because they pretend to be nice.
