Today, I joined a dating website and spent all day filling out and improving my profile. My first match is a guy who relentlessly tried to date me for all 4 years of high school. Now he just has more reasons to tell me how much we're meant to be. We're a 97% match. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went on a date with a guy I met online. It was going OK, until he started asking me if he should stick with the site until he finds the right person. I guess I know how he feels about me, at least. FML
Today, I re-joined a popular on-line dating service. I'd first signed up 3 years ago and was matched with a wonderful woman. After about a year, she broke up with me. I was devastated. After two years of trying to win her back, I'd decided it's best just to move on. Guess who they matched me with? FML
Today, I signed up for an online dating service, a couple of days after my divorce. I got my first batch of matches, and number one was a smiling picture of the woman who had just divorced my ass after 20+ years together. Her profile shows she has to have been active there for months. FML
Today, I decided to try something new and sign up for an online dating service, since I can't meet a decent guy in person. The first guy I talked to told me he used to be in a mental hospital for obsessing over a girl, then told me he would be dreaming of me that night. FML
Today, I finally met the guy I've been getting to know online in person for a date. When we saw each other, we both realized that we had heavily Facetuned our profile pictures. The awkward silence that followed was the longest five minutes of my life. FML
Today, I was helping my friend create an online dating profile. When she got her search results, her #1 match was a blonde guy only 10 miles from her. His description: genuine, laid back, and ready for fun. He left off something kind of important. He's already married. To me. FML
Today, I joined a dating website for the first time in 12 years and spent an hour carefully crafting my profile. Ten minutes after posting, my sibling texted me screenshots. I’d linked my profile to Facebook, where my bio appeared under my real name for half my extended family. Aunt Linda left a heart reaction. FML
Today, the guy I've been dating texted me to say he joined an online dating site. He must have thought I was the best person to share this information with. FML
Today, a cute guy I recognized from one of my classes messaged me on a dating site. He wanted help with homework. FML
Today, it's been a year since I met a guy online. We clicked almost immediately. Eventually we started dating, after proving who we are through many sources. Turns out he lied about his age after he conspired to make sure I was 100% in love with him before telling me the truth. He's legal but the age gap is uncomfortable. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

why don't you just give him a chance? at least get to know him if you haven't yet.

You're lonely enough to join a dating website; no one is below your standards now. The only lower you could possibly sink now is a Craigslist personal.

This is why women are stupid.

Your life is not F-ed. Wake up and realize this guy is obviously right for you, or at least worth giving a chance. I can see just not liking him at first, but when he keeps pursuing for 4 years, and then you realize he has almost everything right for you in a boyfriend you're still too stubborn to give him a chance then you're just being ridiculous. Sure a person is not obligated to like someone, but deciding the moment you meet them there's no possible way they could ever be more than a friend is just stupid. It sounds like he's a great guy but you're just too stubborn to see what's right in front of you. These stories in themselves prove that women truly are less intelligent than men, or at least the ones who have the friend zone created for the guys that like them.

If a guy is after the same girl for years, and doesn't lose interest, that should be worth something, don't you think?

i was "the relentless guy" in high school once. maybe you should quit being shallow and waiting for your prince charming and give the guy a ******* shot. there is no such thing as "soul mates" but there are close matches. put away your childish views on romance and be a real woman. who knows, he just might be a REAL MAN. i'm willing to bet on it.

Eh, give him a chance. BTW, nice to see someone else from Missouri! 65018!

If this girl would wake up she would have put this on My Life Is Great, because she would have finally realized her man is right there in front of her and now that she sees it they can be together.

I think it's a good sign that you might have been dating the wrong folks all this time. Least you can do is try to be open minded about it. A 97% match is a pretty strong indication he's a match, right? Give it a shot, it'll be a funny story to tell the grandkids one day. ;)
