Today, I was at dinner with my boyfriend and his family. We were talking about relationships, and I commented on how online dating was the dumbest thing ever. His mom and step-dad went on to tell me how they had met through an online dating service. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I called my mom to see how she was doing. She quickly hijacked the conversation and said that she's signed me up for a dating site, because she feels bad that I can't find a decent man. I've been dating my boyfriend for seven months, and she's seen me with him multiple times. FML
Today, I had a first date with a guy I met online. And his mom. FML
Today, I was invited by my boyfriend's parents for dinner at their house. The dinner went well I thought, until I was getting ready to leave. Before I could make it out the front door, I could hear them discussing their disappointment that their son would ever consider someone like me. FML
Today, I met a really nice couple at a bar. We talked and the conversation eventually drifted towards online dating. I casually commented that hooking up through the internet was sad and pathetic. Turns out they met on Myspace. FML
Today, I asked my mom about signing up for an online dating site. She took one look at me and said, "Why get rejected online when you can just go outside for the same?" FML
Today, I overheard my mother Skyping with her new "boyfriend" about the $1,000 she just sent him. She barely knew what internet dating was three weeks ago. FML
Today, I went on a first date with a guy I really like. He brought up that there was a person staring at us from a nearby table. That person was my mom. FML
Today, my boyfriend met my dad for the first time. The first thing he said to him was, "You're an idiot for dating my daughter." FML
Today, I found my dad on a dating website looking for younger girls. My mother and father are "happily" married, well according to her Facebook profile. FML
Today, I signed up for a dating site and used a photo of my mother and me at a wedding. Everyone stops responding when they find out they're talking to me and not her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think online dating is kinda unsafe so I wouldn't use it.. But your choice is your choice guys! That must've been embarrassing though!

I bet your going to have to use an online dating service now that your bf dumped you for being such a bitch to his parents.

Your opinion is your opinion just like people who date online are not ridiculous. Met my friend online and we've been good friends for a while now

your opinion is your opinion, i agree in this. but such things always get akward, when you say something, that is totally against the opinion of your bf's parents... so fyl.

FYL for most likely not being liked much by your BF's parents anymore. YDI for not keeping your mouth shut at the right times.

Dating online is perfect for those who lack the looks, charm or confidence to meet someone in real life (or they don't get out enough). It's a foot in your mouth moment, but it doesn't mean you were necessarily wrong.

So what? You had your opinion, they had a different one.. it's not a big deal, definitely not a FYL

I've dated online. It's a completely difference experience when you don't know how the other person looks like because there is absolutely no judgment on looks and it's just personality based. I'd say it's better, but I'm sure a lot of people think it's ridiculous and that's fine, it's preference.

No, I disagree about the no judgment on looks. Even if you are meeting online, you are not going to date some you find unattractive.

Online dating is the new pick-up bar. Get with the times.
