Today, I was supposed to be picked up by my date. I haven't got my license yet, so all my dates have to pick me up. He never showed. He also didn't bother to text or call that he wasn't coming. Neither did the five other dates I was supposed to have this summer. FML

First of all, I am 19. I don't have my license because I have nobody at home who will take me driving. My dad works 3 jobs and my mom doesn't want me to leave and move out. Secondly, my 6 dates are between 2 guys. For the first guy, we'd set a date, he wouldn't show, and then we'd chat and THEN he'd give me some excuse. After 2 missed dates I let 2 months go by and we'd try again. For the second guy, he had legit excuses for missing and understandably explained them to me later. He at least apologized for missing. But still, 6 dates planned this summer and not one of them happened and I was completely in the dark when it came time for them to show up. I take full blame for allowing myself to think that maybe they'd show next time. When trapped at home, any chance to get out is reason for hope, even if its with a jerk. I'm also sorry to disappoint some of you, but I'm neither a HO nor a ****. I'm just a very foolish, lonely person.

Sabs, I'm so sorry. You're going to have to stay over more often so I can let you drive the car rather than the van. You'll find someone eventually. So, want to take classes at main in the spring? It should widen your options. And, for everyone else. I can think of nothing more than Sab wants more than to get her liscense, a job, and the hell out. But, she is the baby of the family and the only girl and her mom can be a lot on the controlling side. I know all about it. I'm married to her brother.

im so sorry you had to go through that :(

Damn. That sucks, but as everyone else is saying, it has to be something you're doing. Do you talk to these guys AFTER you've made the date? Are you whining or constantly putting yourself down for not having a license (and possibly among other things)? People in general do not get good vibes off of those that constantly project their issues, and it's a pain to try to stroke someone's ego especially if it seems like they are getting nothing in return. It's a balance game. Anyway, best of luck with your future dating endeavors, and perhaps seek counseling?

funny thing was... i posted a FML for something JUST like this, but mine was 8 dates, with 8 different guys, all of which stood me up and I never heard from again (note, people I knew face to face, not weird internet dating or anything). And it got rejected for posting.. even FML is against me! hahah

This is like the first time i have seen the OP post and defend themselves.

YDI for trying to defend yourself, but failing terribly.

Yea I've never seen an op reply either. I think ops should reply more and sorry that happen to you.

as are most women/girls. it doesn't make you a ho or ****. I'm 21 without a license. I.haven't had money to buy one and my dad never took me to go get it. my mom is paralyzed and can't take me. I COMPLETELY understand OP. I live on my own and I even own a car. I worked 18 hr shifts just to be sure I could live comfortable on my own. maybe thats what you need OP. I did it all without a car. you can too :) I was also 19 at the time

Sorry to ruin your moment, #98, but if you were married to her brother, wouldn't your profile state you as female? The only things I can think of is if you are 1. Gay or 2. Using his account. I don't see why you would put your own profile as male. Just curious why it says you're male.

You don't need those guys. They treated you like crap now imagine if you had gotten into a serious relationship with them! Plus if going on a date it is a guys job to pick you up not matter if you can drive or not. Its called being a gentleman.

bitch this isn't an FML boo woo omg guys my dates didn't wanna pick up my loser ass stop crying and get a license

I'm quite surprised that no one pointed out the (seemingly quite likely) possibility that she was the 'backup plan' for each of these guys. That says nothing necessarily about her, but rather that the guys are unlikely to be worth the time...

kind of what I was thinking. Maybe the men all know each other and are doing this as a joke on the OP.
