Today, I was at the mall and I noticed this guy staring at me from across the food court. He smiled and waved at me so I walked over there and tried to talk to him. He was looking at his girlfriend the whole time. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was with a friend at the mall and I made eye contact and smiled at the worker at a smoothie stand that I went on a date with last year. He saw me, and then ducked down behind the register, where he remained while his coworker awkwardly leaned over him to take my order and money. FML
Today I was walking around the mall and I saw my crush from high school. He came up to me and, instead of talking to him, I burped, and he just walked away. FML
Today, I went to the grocery store. I saw a very cute guy in the aisle and smiled. He smiled back and blushed a little. He walked over and I flirted with him. He said, "I thought you should know the zipper on your jeans is down" and walked away. It was. FML
Today, I was walking around Walmart when this cute guy walked by me and winked. I thought he wanted to talk, so I followed him around the store, trying to catch up. Turns out it wasn't a wink, he had something in his eye. He told the security person that a weird girl was stalking him. FML
Today, I went to the movies. A really cute girl sat beside me. I tried to strike up a conversation with her until she turned to look at me and I realized he was a guy. I couldn't even finish the movie because I felt his judging eyes burn holes into me the entire time. FML
Today, I walked past a group of men at the mall and one of them mooed at me. FML
Today, I was shopping in the mall. A cute store worker kept checking me out, so after I picked a few things I went up to her and started flirting. After a few seconds, she cut me off and said, "Actually I was watching you because you look like someone who would shoplift." FML
Today, I was working at the mall as the girl that stands around giving out samples of the foods. This guy came up to me and we were flirting for at least 30 minutes. With the tray in one hand, I gave him my cell to put his number in it. He ran away with my phone. FML
Today, I was eating in the food court at the mall by myself but then a cute guy from my school offers to sit by me, I say yes of course, he then asks me for a french fry. Later on I realize he has eaten half my meal. He only wanted to sit by me for my food. FML
Today, I was having lunch at a cafe. There was an attractive guy looking at me from another table. I smiled back and gave a little wink. A minute later he approached me. I introduced myself and asked if he wanted my number. He said, "Um, no but what are you eating? It looks really good" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That happened to me once. Except it was at the zoo. And it was a gorilla that waved at me. He was not as friendly up close.

Narcissism, it gets to the best of us.

14- I don't think it was narcissism. It's an easy mistake to make, thinking someone is waving at you. That doesn't mean she's self-absorbed.

I agree with 20. My dad has severe narcissism and now he lives alone because no one can stand him it's really disheartening. Misinterpreting a wave is not narcissism, that's kind of offending because it's labeling something to the extreme. It's like someone saying they heard a phantom ring ( think they hear their ringtone but they don't) and then calling them scitzophrenic.

happens to everyone. you should have pretended to be actually heading towards some person behind him, then disappear into the crowd..

That's when you cause a scene and accuse him of cheating on you and make him uncomfortable. Turn the tables!

21- What? Why the hell should OP have done that? OP would look like an idiot, it would probably destroy the relationship between that man and his girlfriend, and there's every chance she would be removed from the mall or arrested for causing a disturbance. The biggest issue here being the possibility of destroying that man's relationship, because he's done nothing other than be the accidental source of OP's confusion. You don't just do that to someone.

And if you look above you you'll see the perfect example of someone not taking a joke very well.

Why would you run towards a stranger expecting a hug?

25- It's from a fairly recent FML. A guy sees a girl he thinks he knows, runs to hug her with his arms up, notices it's not her at the last second, and keeps running with his arms raised.

happens to me at school, just keep walking...like the Guy that ran to whom he thought was his girlfriend, with open arms and he just kept running when he found out it wasn't her

Should've been like "you have some food on your chin."
