Today, after admitting he had feelings for me, my crush returned from out of town. He'd said that while he was gone, he'd meet people, but only think of me. He came back no longer single. He's known her for 4 days. We've known each other for 6 years. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, the girl I had a crush on for the past few months called me and wanted to tell me something. Excited, I agreed and we went out to dinner. She wanted to tell me she had been secretly seeing 'someone' for the past six months. FML
Today, my roommate told me he was bringing home his new girlfriend. When the arrived, he introduced me to… my longtime crush. FML
Today, after I’ve been head-over heels crushing on a girl for years, she finally told me she felt the same. A month after I'd moved to a different country forever. FML
Today, I found out the guy I had a huge crush on back in college, and still think of every day, actually did like me back. Except I’ve been married for nearly 8 years to someone else. FML
Today, after thinking my crush maybe liked me back, I confessed. He didn't. FML
Today, I went out for dinner with my crush and expressed my love for her. She responded by saying that we should know that this is the real thing, and to do so we needed to date other people and let time bring us together. FML
Today, as I recently starting having a huge crush on this one guy, my friend told me she told him about the crush, and that he reacted positively. I made a move, only to find out he has a partner. I've tried distancing myself to get over him but he befriended all my friends and is now in our group chat, and the crush has only intensified. FML
Today, my crush DM-ed my best friend, asking her to meet "without me knowing about it." We had been meeting occasionally for at least 8 years. In fact, a few days ago I'd told him that I was going to be in his town and he replied that he wouldn't be there that day. FML
Today, I noticed my crush of almost 3 years was talking to me a lot more at school. He seemed genuinely comfortable around me, even playing with my rings during class. I thought maybe I had a chance. Nope. A mutual friend just told me he likes another girl. A girl who coincidentally looks just like me but skinnier. FML
Today, I talked to my high school sweetheart after 12 years. He confessed that he's been single ever since we broke up, never got over me, and that to this day he loves me dearly. I'm a married mother of two. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm sorry OP. :( You deserve better than that jerk.

But he did nothing wrong. You can't pin her failure on him.

He didn't do anything she could have at least said she liked him too then he might of waited for her

Don't give up! He'll see he made a mistake and want you back!

I was in that same position with a girl, but I didn't do what that guy did. Now the girl I was with is now my ex. Sometimes us guys get the hint and somtimes we don't.

Maybe he'll come back to you, you never know

If I was in OP's situation and he said he'd made a mistake, I'd tell him he did and he's too late. A girl should never settle for being the second choice.

123, Two options: Reject the guy you care about because he didn't choose you first and risk missing out on something over a petty superficial spat, or accept that he met someone else before deciding to date you.

123 & 138- you're both right, cus it depends on the type of guy he is and what she and he want to do. He could be blind the whole time or realize he made a mistake. Guys do that all the time, but some are smart enough to open their eyes. She may let it play out, but she shouldn't wait on him.

Sounds like a charmer. Better off, friend.

isnt it weird how he confessed he had feelings for you while he was away with anither woman?

Isn't it weird how you misread the fml?

16- isn't it weird you have a very difficult time reading and spelling?

It was obliviously a typo.

I'm sorry OP, but you two weren't actually in a relationship. You can't expect him to stay single out of speculation that you two will one day be together.

Sorry OP that sucks... you deserve someone better(:

Aww maybe you should have said something sooner? its okay just move on
FlyingWhisps 5
Best thing to do is move on and act like it doesn't bother you. The more unattainable you seem, the more he'll want you.

Yes, because playing mind games is the best way to win someone over. I agree with your first piece of advice, but your second piece is just stupid.
bananagrams 9
Yes, let's play hard to get with someone who chose a different girl! That way, he'll.... Oh wait a second....
FlyingWhisps 5
Yeah, but it's true. A lot(not all, though) of men want what they can't have. If you want to go for it or not is your choice. Note: I wasn't being entirely serious with the last sentence.

awww! im sorry OP! hopefully he will realize his mistake and come back 2 u! if he doesnt, you culd probably do better!! :)
daminantion 14
Come back to her? Deserves better than what wasn't there? I see this post as what OP wishes, not what IS. She didn't make him notice her for that length of time, obviously his heart isn't hers nor was it ever hers. Nothing was there before, OP should stop daydreaming and find someone, TELLING them she likes him before half a decade rolls by.
Stormdriven37 6
What mistake did he make? I'm confused.
