Today, a guy I like asked me to a dance. Trying to act modest and at the same time compliment him, I told him, "You could do so much better, though." After thinking for a moment, he replied, "You're right, I could. Never mind," and walked away. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, although I can't dance, I decided to go to a club. A really cute girl asked me to dance, and I politely declined. She kept insisting, so I finally said okay. A few minutes in, she stopped, looked at me, and said, "If you're going to make fun of my dancing, I'm leaving." FML
Today, I went to a dance with the boy I like. To my delight, he tried to pick me up. To my dismay, he couldn't. FML
Today, I was at my senior dance dancing with this guy I really like. He was telling me how he likes a strong woman who's not afraid to make the first move. Empowered by what he said, I asked him out. He said no because he thinks girls shouldn't ask guys out. FML
Today, I was at a party. The music changed to a slow dance. Everybody grabbed a partner and I was left on the dancefloor alone. Suddenly, this guy walked up to me. I swore that he was going to ask me to dance. He then said, "Could you hold me my drink?" and went to dance with another girl. FML
Today, while at the club, I started dancing with a girl who I had noticed throughout the night. When she turned around she firmly stated, "I'd much rather dance by myself". FML
Today, my guy friend kept complaining that no one had asked him to the dance, so he probably wasn't going to go. I suggested that we go together. He laughed until his face was bright red and said, "I don't think I'll ever get that desperate." FML
Today, it was Homecoming. During the dance, I saw this mentally handicapped guy ask this pretty girl to dance. She said no. So I went over to him and asked him to dance. He replied that he only wanted to dance with "pretty girls" and I was not one. FML
Today, I was out with my girlfriend at a club. As a slow dance began, a guy approached and asked, "May I cut in?" My girlfriend surprised me by saying, "Sure!" As I was about to protest, the guy cut me off and said, "Sorry miss, I was asking him." FML
Today, a cute guy ditched his date and walked up to me, calling me beautiful. Not knowing how to reply, I just blushed. His date got angry and left. "Sorry. I take that back," he then said. "I was just trying to get rid of her. Thanks anyway." FML
Today, I got left in the middle of slow dancing with a girl I liked. She came back and said, "Sorry, I had to make sure the guy I really like knows that I don't like you." FML

A simple yes would have sufficed.

Stop putting yourself down. If a complete stranger walked up to him and told him that he could do better you'd be incensed but why let yourself do it? Next time just say yes, you never know it might be the start of a beautiful thing, you might get your toes trodden on or you might find out he is a total dick. You are never going to know until you try.

I think YDI because....well you kinda turned him down and showed a lack of interest : / if my crush asked me to dance I would not even give him a second to be thinking of someone else to dance with!

My first thought was DUMBASS! Perhaps next time you'll just say yes when a guy asks you out. Have a little confidence in yourself, obviously there was something about you he liked. Now you made yourself look like a person who thinks so little of themselves they need another person to make them feel "special"

Modesty doesn't mean putting yourself down like that, OP. In this case, YDI.

I can see your attempt at modesty, but how is telling someone they could do so much better a compliment? It just sounds like you're insulting yourself, and at the same time refusing to dance with him.

Well look at it this way: you helped boost someone's self esteem.

To me it sounds like a "thank you, but no", rather than as you being modest *facepalm* Take this as a lesson.

In future, I'd avoid such modesty. You're definitely the best date he could muster.
