Today, I asked a short girl to prom by making a "You must be this tall to say no" sign. She grabbed a chair, stood on it, and then said no. FML

Today, I asked a girl to prom by having 5 friends hold up signs saying "P-R-O-M-?" while I snuck up behind her. She said yes... to my friend holding the "?", who she thought was the one asking her. FML

Today, I had an elaborate plan to ask this girl to Prom, and it was going to take a few minutes to set up. I asked my friend to distract her. He decided to distract her by asking her to Prom. She said "Yes". FML

Today, after telling a friend I was contemplating asking a girl to prom, my friend took my phone, told me to have some balls, and texted the girl asking her to prom. She said no, because I asked her over text instead of in person. She refuses to believe I didn't send the text. FML

Today, I was asked to prom by the same guy who "accidentally" cut off a chunk of my hair in class and with whom I haven't had a conversation in my life. When I politely declined he said, "You'll regret this". FML

Today, I was talking to my mom about who I wanted to ask to prom. I told her the names of the girls I was thinking of asking and she replied, "They'll say no, but you can always go with one of your cousins." FML

Today, I took my girlfriend of nearly 2 years out to dinner so I could propose. When the waiter brought the check, I caused a bit of a scene to get everyone's attention. When I got on my knee and proposed, she said no and asked if I could hurry up and pay, because she was embarrassed. FML

Today, I asked a boy I like to prom by writing all over his car. After nervously sitting by the phone all day, I decided to go out to get lunch. I found the word "No!" written all over my car. FML

Looks like your plan fell a little short of the mark

You made fun of her, and then told her she wasn't allowed to say no? Dumbass. Good for her.

Some girls find this cute; others, insulting. Sounds like you didn't know her personality too well before asking her to prom, OP.

I'm probably gonna get downvoted to Hell and back, but here it goes: Before you all start calling OP a dick or whatever, think that he may be close friends with the girl and they might be comfortable enough with eachother to play jokes like that. Not everyone is insecure about themselves. Idk the whole story, but I just wanted to put this thought out there. Sorry for the rejection, OP, but she did find a clever way to respond.

sure, maybe that's the case, but I feel like if she were a friend, he would've added it in the FML...not gunna downvote you ; )

We are going with the info given. If they are close and this was just posted for humor, why would op care? He knows that the girl was joking as well. If not, hopefully he will learn something.

She might have said yes, if you didn't implicitly take away her right to choose.

that's kinda messed up honestly. using somebody's height to make them go with you. I'm glad she said no.

To be fair as a short girl I probably would have done the same.

Ignore the haters OP. I thought it was cute and I would have gone to prom with you!

That's you. He didn't ask you, now did he? It shouldn't be what others think is cute and nice, it should be what the person who is being asked thinks is cute and nice. It seems the girl here didn't find it such.
