Today, after weeks of flirting with the hot guy at the gym, he finally asked me to meet up with him outside. I was diagnosed with strep throat just hours before our date. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while at the gym, I started flirting with a hot doctor. I thought things were going well so I suggested we work out together sometime and maybe work our way up to dinner together, to which she replied, "Sorry but I've seen tumors bigger than your biceps," and then walked out. FML
Today, after months of hardcore flirting with this incredibly attractive guy, he invited me to hang out. At which point he introduced me to his boyfriend. FML
Today, I asked my doctor out on a date. He had his nurse turn me down. FML

Today, after a week of staying in at night and fighting off a persistent cold, I was finally feeling well again, so I decided to go to my boyfriend's work BBQ. I got food poisoning. FML
Today, I was planning to ask a guy at school out since I had mustered up the confidence to finally tell him how I really felt. I ended up puking on him. FML
Today, the guy I've been flirting with for a week, and would be meeting in two days, sent me a message that he wouldn't be able to text me this evening because he'll be on a date. FML
Today, after weeks of being hounded to go out on a date with this guy, I finally found the time and invited him over, fully intending to hook up. He stood me up. FML
Today, I went to the hospital due to extreme sickness. My boyfriend saw this as an opportune time to take another girl out since I was "otherwise preoccupied." FML
Today, marks the third day I've spent with a cute guy who has a crush on me. Before going to a public pool, we had a nice breakfast together. However, the food did not agree with me, so I loudly emptied my guts in the poolside restroom. He sent me home after, and will no longer answer my texts. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Ask him for a rain check on the date after explaining the circumstances. If he understands and agrees then great. If not then that's just bad luck and I hope you get better soon.

As long as this is the first time you've rescheduled, he should be understanding. You are probably disappointed to not get to go to something you were looking forward too. Just imagine how much better it will be when your feeling better and not infectious!

Don't even worry about it. I get he's hot ect but if he doesn't get your sick, then he won't be worth it for the long run, or even short run. World doesn't revolve around any one person :) best people are down to earth

My only question is, why would you go to the gym with strep? It's contagious and you're shedding the virus that caused it actively. Antibiotics treat the symptoms and the secondary infection the virus causes, not the virus itself. I personally would have take at least a week off from the gym.

Unless it's a mutant strain, OP will not be contagious after 24 hours/2 doses

It doesn't say she did go to the gym with strep. The sequence of events seems to be: 1. Went to gym. 2. Hot dude asked her out (possibly for dinner a couple days later). 3. Got diagnosed with strep at some point after the gym and before the date.

OP never said she went to the gym with strep. She said she got diagnosed with strep the DAY of the date, not days before. You don't always get symptoms slowly. It's possible OP suddenly woke up feeling sick and went to the doctor only to be told she had strep.

15- I read it that way too. But, after a double check, I see Tripartita is right.

Not sure what the big deal is. People get sick, as long didn't sand him up and explain that your sick he should reschedule

He didn't ask you for a BJ didn't he?

Wtf does a BJ have to do with being sick and canceling and date

This comment is completely irrelevent.

Why are you working out when your sick? Your only exacerbating the problem. So counterintuitive. Rest. Recover.

I first thought that too. Reread it though. She got sick/diagnosed the day of the date, not the day he asked her for a date.

Just get a raincheck.

I have had strep That 5 times (which one turned into scarlet fever) and one time was on my birthday. Now that's an FML

If you've been flirting with a guy for weeks, there's probably enough interest that he'll give a do-over. If he won't give you a mulligan for a medical issue, you probably saved yourself time and energy and stress.
