Today, I went on a blind date that my best friend had set up for me. When I arrived, I introduced myself and we sat at the table. After we ordered our food, he asked the waiter for some crayons and a kid's menu, and colored for the half hour before our food came. He didn't talk to me at all. FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I went on a blind date, even though the whole concept freaks me out a bit. My date showed up with his sister, who sat at our table and critiqued everything we did, from how I chewed my food, to the way we nervously laughed. He hardly said a word the whole time. FML
Today, I went on a blind date set up by my best friend. When I got there, my "date" was my ex. My best friend knew, and she thought it would be "funny" to see how we would react. FML
Today, I went on a blind date that my friend set up at a coffee shop. I arrived early, feeling nervous but excited. As I sat waiting, I noticed a person waving at me from across the room. I smiled and waved back, only to realize that they were actually waving at someone behind me. My date never showed up. FML

Today, I went on a blind date. Not only I had already been on a date with the guy before, we'd also had both forgotten about it until halfway through the dinner. FML
Today, I went on a blind date that my friend set up for me. It was going pretty good, then he said he was going to go out to smoke. Ten minutes went by and he still hadn't come back. I called my friend and she said he doesn't smoke. FML
Today, I went on a blind date. My date spent the whole time at the restaurant on his phone and didn't even try to show interest. Thankfully I'll never have to deal with this individual ever again. FML
Today, I was sitting in the restaurant waiting for my blind date to come. I had sat for an hour until I finally got fed up and went to leave when at the same time the guy at the table next to me stood up to leave too. I noticed he had been sitting alone. Turns out he was my date. FML
Today, I had a blind date that my friend set me up for. My date was the ugliest, most disgusting person you will ever meet, but I thought that I would give him a chance. He saw me, eyed me up and down, then said to my friend, "You're kidding, right?" FML

How about starting a conversation next time - it doesn't always have to be the guy who chats YOU up, you know...

Funny. There are a multitude of bad dates out there. Maybe you need some hobbies? You may meet someone while you're doing something that you like to do. I'm thinking that your best friend sucks. You can tell her I said so.

Really? no conversation starter? If I went on a date with a girl and she did that, I would find it cute and attempt to join in...

and you didn't say "um yea, this isn't going to work" and then get up and leave. YDI for staying

A lot of my legit comments on here get moderated because it "violates the rules." If #23 's highly insulting post towards the OP doesn't get moderated for the same reason, there's really something messed up about the FML Staff.

Ummmmm... this should be on MLIA. everyone who posts on FML has such a depressed outlook toward everything.

you all are a bunch of sticks in the mud. "we r serious adults, this r serious date. no fun spontaneity allowed!" so what, its kinda cute that he started coloring, though its a little strange he didnt talk while he was doing it but he probably saw you didn't really "get it" so he felt awkward and just kept going...but you could of talked and sort of joked about it. dont take everything so seriously, Jesus.

Don't feel bad, many ppl just have communication probs...u should of just laughed I went on several dates with a guy that just sat there. coloring is better than nothing haha.. u shoulda made convo tho he could just be shy. take my advice tho let it go soon cuz if it doesn't get better on the 2nd date it won't, u cannot make someone interesting.
