Today, at the gym, I realized the guy who has been staring at me for the past 3 days is the same guy I promised to text back 5 months ago. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got a text from the guy I've been in love with for 3 years, saying, "So um, I've been wondering. Did you used to be a man?" FML
Today, after many weeks of talking to this guy over the phone for hours on end and establishing that we both had feelings for the other, we met in person. He saw me, got an "emergency text," and hasn't talked to me since. FML
Today, on my way to work, I was checking my hair in the semi-reflective window of an office building. I suddenly realized that the guy I had a one-night stand with last week was standing on the other side, looking confused. He now genuinely believes that I am stalking him. FML
Today, I messaged the guy I've been seeing for four months, referring to him as my boyfriend. His response? "I didn't realize you had a boyfriend." FML
Today, I realised that the only friend who talks to me consistently is a guy who used to stalk me. FML
Today, I ran into my boyfriend. The same guy that told me he was still in Florida with his family. FML
Today, it's been 5 good months since I reconnected with a guy I've known since elementary. I have him on every social, he called me pretty, etc. We weren't ever together but he acted like my boyfriend. He stopped talking for a month, with messages every now and then, and now he has a girlfriend and doesn't talk to me. FML
Today, my friends and I were talking about the creepy stranger that used to stalk me back in high school. I guess his looks changed a lot through the years because I found out that he's my current boyfriend of four months. FML
Today, I found out that the reason my boyfriend hasn't texted me recently is that he'd forgotten he was dating anyone. FML
Today, a person who I've been talking to for months told me they were in a relationship with someone else. I work with this person and see them almost everyday. To top it off, they told me this over text. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You obviously deserve it for not texting him back.

Play it off. Pretend to recognize him and be like "why haven't you answered my text messages??" And just act like he hasn't been receiving them.

If you're not interested in someone, be mature and be honest. They might not like it but they will at least still have respect for you. Poor guy was probably looking forward to hearing from you.

He's a creeper, it's a good thing you didn't text back.

Actually, him having the same gym membership as her does not make her a stalker. Nor does him angrily staring down the face of a liar, make him a stalker. Just because she lied to him and wasn't interested, does not automatically make him "below" her, or less deserving of a gym membership as her. He has just as much of a right to be at a public location gym as she does. Besides, most men tend to take gym time more seriously than most women anyway (obviously exceptions occur). But it's totally unfair to expect that HE should have to somehow switch gyms, just because SHE was a liar and didn't like him. This isn't a lifetime movie, he didn't stalk her and find out what gym she went to. Chances are he already had a membership or got one without knowing she went there. Id also like to point out how women rationalize lying to a guy and not texting him. If the guy ever calls her out on her rude anti social lying behavior, she can simply seem him "a creeper" or "a stalker" and then she can internally justify her bad behavior and continue it later. I strongly loathe this technique employed by women. Lying is wrong, deception is wrong, and breaking promises is wrong. I don't care if the guy is sadden Hussein himself. Don't promise something and then break it unless he literally threatened you.

I don't understand why people are criticizing the OP so harshly for not texting the guy back. No, it wasn't right to lie, but sometimes you just have to. Only the OP knows the whole situation. If she never texted him there was probably a good reason! There have been times where people are so nauseatingly persistent, the only way you can escape is to lie. Everyone's done it atleast once.

Poor fella...he's probably trying to see if you recognize him. Then again he could just talk to you about it instead of being creepy.

He's plotting his ultimate revenge. Soon there will be a book about it. Next a movie.
