Today, I asked my mom about signing up for an online dating site. She took one look at me and said, "Why get rejected online when you can just go outside for the same?" FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I called my mom to see how she was doing. She quickly hijacked the conversation and said that she's signed me up for a dating site, because she feels bad that I can't find a decent man. I've been dating my boyfriend for seven months, and she's seen me with him multiple times. FML
Today, I signed up for a dating site and used a photo of my mother and me at a wedding. Everyone stops responding when they find out they're talking to me and not her. FML
Today, I woke up to an email confirming my membership to a dating site. Turns out my mother is as annoyed by my loveless life as I am. FML
Today, I was at dinner with my boyfriend and his family. We were talking about relationships, and I commented on how online dating was the dumbest thing ever. His mom and step-dad went on to tell me how they had met through an online dating service. FML
Today, a woman turned up uninvited at my house, ready for our first date. After some embarrassed investigating, it turns out my mother signed me up to Tinder and arranged a date, all without telling me, because she refuses to believe I prefer solitude over dating. FML
Today, my mom was helping me plan for going to college. After 30 minutes of me getting more upset, and her getting more frustrated, she directed me to Tinder, a wedding venue website, and the local address for Planned Parenthood. Her actual words were, "There's no shame in being a stay at home dad these days." FML
Today, I had a first date with a guy I met online. And his mom. FML
Today, I talked to my mom about hanging out with her. She got out her phone to schedule an appointment. FML
Today, my mother keeps nagging me to find a wife, settle down, and have kids, even though I have zero interest in any of those things. She refuses to understand that I’m perfectly content being completely on my own. She even signed me up to Tinder without my knowledge. FML
Today, I was rejected by a girl when she told me she is not ready to date. We met on a dating website. FML

depends on how old you are young enough to need her approval.. spend your time doing homework instead of Chadian boys.

Maybe she was just joking OP, heard this sort of wisecrack about online Dating before A friend of mine met her husband on an online dating website and have been together for many years, hes an absolute gem and treats her like a princess, its gorgeous to see. He helps out with the kids and is kinda like a soccer mum. There are rejections anywhere online or in person, dont take it to heart OP

Every time you seek love, you never find it. As soon as you decide to stop looking, it crashes right into you. Just be yourself, it will happen when you least expect it.

That's just nonsense. You're never getting a girl/boyfriend by setting it home all day waiting for miracles to happen. You have to go out there and meet new people. If that doesn't work (or if you're not the outgoing type), a dating site might just be the answer. That's how I met my girlfriend. It never would have happened if I hadn't taken some proactive steps on my part.

1. My mom was a bit like that. Bitter. Take a good look at Mom's love life, I'm guessing that's where her statement is coming from. 2. That's a HORRIBLE thing to say to your child about dating. NO NO NO NO NO! 3. I'm happily married to a wonderful guy I met on an online dating site. I'm not a model, or young, and I found someone. YOU CAN TOO. Just be yourself, date around casually, date several people (first couple of dates, in a public place like Starbucks) and keep at it. 4. Learn to Not Ask Your Mom, and when you slip up and ask her, I think you should learn to ignore her.
