Today, I was at a swim meet. I asked my friend if he could be my wingman and help me get a date with a girl I really liked. I told him my plan, and as I finished and turned to go to her, I noticed her standing right there, listening in on the whole conversation. FML

Today, I had to help my best friend plan his upcoming date with the girl he doesn't know I'm secretly in love with. 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, I was flirting with a girl I like when she confessed she was into another guy. I then proceeded to wingman for that guy, telling her to take her shot with him before the chance went away. Effectively sticking myself into the friendzone. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy that I really like. At the last minute he informed me a friend would be tagging along. To keep his friend from being a third-wheel, I kept up a conversation, and managed to piss my date off. He thought I would be a better match for his friend. FML
Today, and for the past two months, I've been going to the bar with my friends quite regularly because I have a massive crush on the cute bartender. Being quite shy, I asked my friend if he could be my wingman so I could finally talk to her properly. He took her home. FML
Today, a guy I've liked for a while asked if he could talk to me during break. He'd never done that before, so I was excited and said yes. As soon as we both sat down, he asked if I'd help him get a date with my best friend. FML
Today, I went to the university pool. There was this cute lifeguard there, and every time I got out of the water I saw her looking at me, so I walked up to her and asked if everything was OK. She told me she thought I was going to drown. FML
Today, after jumping into a public swimming pool, the female lifeguard, who I have had a crush on for years whistled at me. When I got out of the water, she handed me the bathing suit I'd apparently lost. FML
Today, I was talking to a swimmer I just met. I saw a cute guy and whispered to her, "That guy is hot." She asked "Who?" I pointed at him. She turned to see him, then turned back to me and said "Ew, that's my brother." She went to him, whispered something. He turned around to see me and said, "EW." FML
Today, I was at a friend's pool party. He lives on a lake and one of our friends wouldn't get in the water. My best friend and I decided to push him off the dock. Once we had, I turned to see my crush who had watched looked shocked, then said, "You know he can't swim right?" FML

I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe try to talk to her still?:)

she probably said yes and that wouldn't be a FML so its not there

I wonder if his "plan" talked out with the friend may have involved some ideas that were not so innocent.

Abort! Abort! Eject wingman! Repeat, eject wingman! Plan B, grow some balls and ask the girl out yourself. The advantage of a swim meet is that everyone can tell if you accomplished step one ;)

Don't make a plan, grow a set and walk over. Girls like confidence.

Not everyone has confidence. I, personally, can't talk to anyone unless I have a legitimate reason to start a conversation These skills just don't come naturally some people as they do to others which is why we make strategies

I still don't think that a wingman will be all that helpful when your target is someone you already know. If it's just a random hookup, then sure, wingmen can be great. But when you're trying to confess to "the girl you like", then I believe you should do that by yourself.

Oh, I don't know. 'Wingman' could be a very loose term here. For all we know, his part in everything was to just get the two of them alone

Then work on gaining confidence and social skills, not plans. When you're an adult, 'I don't have the skills or confidence' is not an excuse, and it's not attractive.

But surely confidence can be drawn from a solid plan

@38 Actually, creating plans and strategies can be very important in life and is considered a skill that is useful in many careers. Confidence can only get you so far in life and it doesn't come naturally to some people.

Follow-up please!

I'd feel so flattered!

I'd like to think this went well but just the mere fact that it's here suggests a rejection :(
