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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Guys usually take things literally, nice one.

Well, next time, you'll know, based on the lovely advice you're getting from the FML community. Think of it this way: did you have a back-up plan in case your crush dismissed your attempt at flattery? Unless there's a second guy you're interested in (and you're positive he'll agree to go with you), take the low road and give a one-word answer. In any case, most guys appreciate straight-forwardness and confidence. If they don't, you probably don't want a relationship with them in the first place; they'll take advantage of that further down the road. For the future, be honest and tell that special someone how you really feel, and don't spend so much energy on how to butter him up. Remember: it's useless to pull on the line to catch a fish you've already brought into shore.

Now is not the time for you to be modest! You ruin your own chance.

I dated a guy once, who told me that I'm too pretty to be with him...that didn't last much longer. insecurity isn't good for a relationship.

That wasn't "modesty", that was a mind game. Dating is hard enough without purposefully messing with others.

I would have taken your response as a sarcastic way to say 'no'. And if I didn't take it like that and thought you we're looking for reassurance it would be a massive turn off. YDI OP!

Way to show him a lack of confidence! Has nobody told you confidence is sexy? Can't blame him for changing his mind. He didn't ask you so that you could put yourself down.

Why would you say that?
