Today, my crush confessed their love for me, and I happily told them that I felt the same way. They looked uncomfortable, so I asked why. Apparently they'd been paid to prank me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after thinking my crush maybe liked me back, I confessed. He didn't. FML
Today, my crush came up to me at a college party and said "I like you." I tried to be cool and said sarcastically, "Thank you. I like myself too. That was a wonderful prank." He was amazed, and asked me how I knew it was a prank. FML
Today, I told my crush I liked him. Instead of rejecting me or telling me that he might have felt similar, he decided to pretend to be dumb and clueless and just kept asking who my crush was. I found out later that he knew all along but he just wanted to ragebait me. FML
Today, I got all excited because I thought my crush was flirting with me, when in actuality she was taking advantage of me liking her so she and her friends could make fun of my speech impediment. FML
Today, I told my crush, who I've liked for a while, that I liked him. He looked at me in pure terror and walked away. FML
Today, I told my crush of two years that I love him. He responded with an, "Aww, I'm sorry." and a pity hug. FML
Today, I finally mustered up the courage to tell my crush how I feel about them. I poured my heart out, only for them to tell me that they're already seeing someone else. To make matters worse, they then asked me for advice on how to impress their new partner. FML
Today, I finally told my crush I liked him. He smiled and said, “That’s sweet, but I thought you knew I was seeing someone.” I laughed awkwardly and said, “Of course, I was just joking!” Then I immediately tripped over my own bag while leaving. FML
Today, I sent a heartfelt text to my crush confessing my feelings. I was over the moon when I saw they were typing a response. Turns out they were just asking if I could cover their shift at work. Rejected and now on the night shift. FML
Today, I confessed my love to my crush over text. Later, she posted the message I'd sent her on Facebook and wrote "look at the pathetic man". The post had over 50 laugh reacts. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Should have replied "aw I'm glad because I was just feeling sorry for you" and walked away. Don't let this bring you down

Being paid to mess with someone's feelings is downright cruel.

that is horrible. They are so not worth it if they will happily do something like that. Even if they thought you would say no. it is not ok

unfortunately my saying this won't necessarily help, but I think a lot of people have had that experience OP. you are not alone and you are desirable Anne attractive. Please don't let this make you think that anyone who asks you out or shows interest in you in the future is doing .the same. They aren't. there is also nothing wrong with you. many people are treated like this, because the asshats who do this need someone to "prank".

I know that in school for example, it does happen where people ask someone out as a dare or a joke. and the person will foreven struggle.to believe someone is genuine if they are asked out in the future.

I’m very confused... they? How many crushes do you have that declared their love to you ? Am I reading this wrong ?

They can be used as the singular as well. ie 'they went to the store' could be replaced with 'George went to the store'. It's not always plural usage.

Actually it's not. If someone said to you, "Hey where's Sue?" You could correctly answer, "They went to get a drink." Magically, that does not make Susan suddenly more than one person. Also, you can be plural. If you saw a group of people and said, "Hey you over there!" you wouldn't be singling one person out of the group, you'd be addressing them all.

@goober96, “they” being only plural is old-school. Now, it is apparently acceptable to use they/them/their as a gender-neutral singular program. I don’t make the rules — I am just letting you know what is going on.

Some people go by "they" these days.

Doesn't matter what you accept or don't.Languages change and evolve over time. For example 'awful' used to be aweful. As in 'Filled with awe'. Now it means something is terrible. The fact it is now being used in such a way is common thing and thus an example of the aforementioned evolution. That society has accepted it has made it a 'rule' that they can also be singular as well as plural.

Do you have a crush with split personality, since you keep using they/their?

That's a shitty move by the crush and by their friends. I'm sorry, OP.
