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

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....

As someone who also has anxiety & panic attacks, I would have had her same reaction. What's wrong with the old fashioned "Would you like to go out on a date sometime?"

I can't say YDI or FYL because you had no way of knowing that but I feel bad for her. I know people like that and it is severely scary for them. Tone it down next time.

At least you know now she suffers from panic attacks. Well done on the romantic side. Most women would be blown away by such an effort.

I bet you think this is cool and loving and special and amazing, but in reality you're just a self indulgent reckless twat who puts people on the spot, let alone in a difficult situation at their place of work, without as much as a thought. No sane woman would agree to go out with you after you've so vividly illustrated how immature you are.

you're a pos, but I'm guessing you already knew that ;)

You could have got her fired, so that wasn't smart but you still have no way of knowing that would happen... so I feel you deserved it and didnt deserve it at the same time.

I wonder what kind of date you were planning... Did it involve kidnapping her and having a gangbang with all your friends?

I don't understand why people make asking a person out more complicated than it needs to be. You know what works for me? Just walking up, introducing myself, and asking.
