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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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!

Not really an FML.. it's mildly embarrassing, *IF* that. If you weren't an awkward person, you could have easily recovered from that.

Well, you are marrying into a dumb family. I don't know about your boyfriend's biological dad, but he is weighed down by his mom's idiot DNA.

Wow, I expected less support for online dating. I've done it, and although that's not how I met my wife I heartily recommend it.

Maybe a few years ago it was sketchy, but these days online dating is.. really viable. I wouldn't use the actual dating websites but people I meet in forums or games.. I've become quite good friends with them that visit and mail stuff. :C

This. I consider dating sites to be too "forced" to really have a chance to work. If that's how some people find someone then more power to them, but it seems like too much work to make a profile in hopes of deliberately looking for someone. My most successful online relationships have come from sites and games that I enjoy a lot, that way we can have more enjoyable conversations about sites/games we both enjoy.

I don't know... I reached, 30 was single, my friends were either gay or coupled up, and consequently weren't interested in going to bars with me so I could meet women. My interests (combat sports) weren't good for meeting women socially. It seemed the logical choice for meeting someone with shared interests and mutual attraction.. Kissed a few frogs, then met my girlfriend... proposing this weekend

Let's hope you're not the next FML we read...! ;) Good luck!

Yeah, good luck! "Combat Sports?" Images of the 'plot' behind Unreal Tournament comes to mind! :-P I guess you mean wrestling and UFC and such?

Thanks, fingers crossed Yeah, I do jujitsu and striking arts. My gf has zero interest, but puts up with my enthusiasms.
