Today, I decided I didn't care about my pride, and so I asked this girl out in a text. After an hour of no response I asked again. Later I got a text saying, "I'm sorry, This is Emily's mom. Emily isn't here at the moment, but if I were you, I wouldn't ask again." I was rejected by her mom. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 texted the hottest girl in the school saying, "I really like you, we should date". She responded with a text saying, "Sorry, I'm not into you." I then got a text saying, "Sorry, my brother stole my phone, and answered, but still it's no". I got rejected twice. Once by a man. FML
Today, I was planning on asking out a girl I've been really close to for a few months now. I was with her when I got a forward text from my friend. It was from the girl and it said, "Noooo tell him not to ask me out I don't like him." I got rejected via a forwarded text before I could tell her how I felt. FML
Today, at 1am, the girl of my dreams that I've been trying for over three years to date, finally asked me out via SMS. Too bad I was asleep at the time. She now thinks I've rejected her, and will no longer speak to me. FML
Today, I finally got the girl of my dreams' phone number. After texting her "Hey, is this Stephanie?" I got response saying "Sorry bro, I know how you feel, she did the same thing to me." FML
Today, I sent a romantic, flirty text to my boyfriend. A few minutes later, I got a reply from… my mom, saying, “I don’t think this was meant for me, but thanks for making my day awkward.” FML
Today, I got a text from a girl that I've had a crush on for a long time, asking me out to dinner. I agreed and went to the restaurant. Not long afterwards, I got text from her saying something had come up, so she couldn't make it. As I was walking back to my car, I saw her walk into the same restaurant with another guy. FML
Today, I finally got up the nerve to ask out my crush, only to find out that they're already in a committed relationship with my mom. FML
Today, I was trying to break up with my boyfriend over text. I was being really careful to phrase it nicely, and I hit send with a sigh of relief. Except I sent the text to my mom, who now keeps sending me unsolicited advice about my "love life" with an occasional "You go, girl!" FML
Today, I texted my friend’s mom, asking if she could send over my hoodie that I left at their house. Except I didn’t text her, I texted my ex’s mom, who said, “You should probably stop texting me. She’s engaged now.” FML

Your first mistake was asking a girl out by text message. Seriously, grow a pair and ask her out face-to-face.

IF it was actually her mom, did you consider the possibility that when she said, "Don't ask again," it didn't mean "her answer is no," she's just trying to tell you to quit texting so much? Honestly, I feel like an old lady saying this, but with all the constant facebook/twitter updates we have today, people are so ADD. You can't even wait one hour for a response! If I were that girl and I checked my phone after a couple hours to find MULTIPLE messages from a guy, I'd be freaked out! Grow up, dude.

You texted her, to ask her out? And you done it right after the other. Next time, do it in person or atleast call. and if she doesn't answer. For the love of God, do not call her an hour later. Wait til the next day atleast.

Definitely think that was still her and not her mom... apparently she had no pride either! But seriously, no girl is worth having if she agrees to a text date, same goes to you as well!! At least call to ask!

You're lucky you got her mom. It would've come off as incredibly pathetic if you ask a girl out via TEXT message THREE times! If you really don't care about your pride, ask her out in person. YDI :/

Dude, be a MAN! Ask her face to face. Through text is pathetic and a loser's way out. You have no pride if you did it through a text. I would NEVER date a man who asked me out through text, because that means to a girl like me that he doesn't care enough about me to ask face to face. Also, that would make seeing each other again really awkward if she did agree...

I'm sorry, dear, but that was not her mother. That was Emily, trying to get out of an awkward situation without appearing to be the "bad guy".
