Today, I attempted to ask a girl out by doing a flash mob and singing for her in the store where she works. Turns out, she suffers from anxiety and the overwhelming amount of attention caused a panic attack. No, I didn't get a date. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I took my girlfriend out to a fancy restaurant for her birthday. I'd arranged beforehand for some of the staff to come out and sing happy birthday to her, but it all backfired when she started panicking and had a serious anxiety attack from all the attention. FML
Today, I asked a girl I like out. She ended up having an asthma attack because she was laughing so hard. I guess that's a no. FML
Today, while trying to score a date, I almost made a girl pass out. No, I didn't try to chloroform her, I just came across as so pathetic that she laughed hard enough to have an asthma attack. FML
Today, I worked up the courage to ask someone out after months of debating it. She smiled, said yes, and asked what time. I got so nervous that I gave her the time I start work instead of our reservation. We both showed up to completely different places and spent twenty minutes wondering why the other had ghosted us. FML
Today, I asked out the girl of my dreams. She was so excited that she had a severe asthma attack and ended up in hospital. Her answer was yes, but her parents won't let me anywhere near her now. They say I'm lucky they haven't sued me for "trying to kill her". FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She promptly had a panic attack and screamed, "No!" FML
Today, I decided to talk to a girl at the gym I had seen there a lot. I walked up to her at the station she was at and asked her out to dinner sometime. I didn't realize she had been wearing headphones. She took them off and asked if I was waiting on the station. My courage left. I said yes. FML
Today, to help me get over my crippling social anxiety, my therapist encouraged me to sing in front of a crowd, since I actually have a fine singing voice. I ended up fainting onstage, mid-song. FML
Today, I asked a girl out and made plans to go see a movie. About 5 minutes in, I made a move to put my arm around her and smashed her in the face. FML
Today, I finally got the courage to ask out a girl I've had a crush on for months now. She told me I was very cute and then walked off. I still don't have an answer. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why go all out when something as simple as you saying "will you go out with me?" would work? Save that shit for marriage proposals.

Well, maybe try to tone down the extravagant gestures towards people you don't know very well yet? I hope she appreciated the effort, though....

Hmm if only someone would make a button that could voice that opinion for you...if only...

Were it so easy...

that's amazingly sweet.! I feel like she should've said yes anyways because of the gesture.

That's the same as saying 'he was nice, so you should have sex with him.' It's her choice. He made her have a panic attack - also meaning he doesn't even know her at all - so she's allowed to say no. There's no should or shouldn't. It's about her choice. I mean, really, would you want a girl to go out with you just because you put in effort even though she doesn't even like you, only to 'dump' you the day after? Sorry for the rant.

Also shit like that can get someone fired from their job. It wasn't really the thought that counted in this because when it comes right down to it, it was fairly thoughtless. Had this been a marriage proposal somewhere other than work I would think that it was incredibly sweet. That isn't the case though, this was asking out someone he obviously didn't know too terribly well at their place of work.

@32 my thought was exactly the same..... If someone did that to me where i worked i would be angry not excited

21- While I agree with your general thought, comparing it to forcing someone to have sex with you is kind of extreme. I've gone on plenty of dates with people I certainly wouldn't have wanted to get intimate with.
Dilwann 27
46 - sure, it's a bit extreme. But still, I would personally not even want to bother going on a date with someone I don't see a possible future with, including being intimate. That's just... leading the guy on. Or being overly nice. Or both.

12) With this logic you will end up being a grandmother before you are 20, dear

I REALLY don't think 21 was talking about rape. I think 21 was talking about the idea of, "He took you out on a date you should have sex with him, you owe him." Not being actually forced to but feeling obligated to even if you don't want to.

CLEARLY you've never had someone carelessly cause you to have a panic attack. As someone with severe social anxiety, I have to say I feel like she was in the right going with what she felt and saying no when he cause so must distress for her

Next time OP, just sing a song...calmly, without all the backstreet boy dancing.

fyl, but you should've done your homework op

What if she would have said no? You would have been embarrassed and she would've been labeled as a heartless bitch probably.
xStaciexLynnx 15
She did say no...
Rumbelle_fml 22
Yeah, but I think in this case the panic attack negates the "heartless bitch" effect.

The point is you tried your best. Whoever gets you in the end is going to be really lucky. :]

Wow har aldrig mødt nogle fra Danmark der kunne finde på at gøre så meget ud af sådan noget! :D Bare ærgeligt at du ikke lige fik den reaktion du havde håbet på.. Bedre held næste gang OP And in English: Wow I have never met anyone from Denmark that could think of doing so much to ask a girl out! :D Just too bad that you didn't get the reaction you were hoping for.. Better luck next time OP

Congratulations, you speak Danish. To me, you just came off as a pompous ass with that. Leave that shit at home.
