Today, the phone rang so I went to answer it. No one was there. A minute later the phone rang again and no one answered so I assumed it was a telemarketer or a prank so I started swearing uncontrollably in rage. Turns out it was my crush calling to ask me out, but she was too nervous to ask. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I gathered the courage to ask my crush on a date. As I called her, she quickly answered and said "Can't talk right now, I'm in a movie theater." and then hung up. I'd called her home phone. FML
Today, I called this girl I've had a crush on for 2 years to confess my love to her. However, as she picked up the phone, I got so nervous that I froze and couldn't say a word. I was standing there, breathing heavily for 20 seconds. She got so freaked out that she threatened to call the police. FML
Today, I got a call from the girl I like. I got very excited so I quickly picked up. As it turns out, she was actually prank calling me, pretending to be a "liposuction telemarketer" but forgot to press *67. FML
Today, I somehow managed to FaceTime my crush instead of texting him. I panicked, dropped my phone, then answered the call with an unflattering close-up of my forehead. FML
Today, I saw my crush standing at the bus stop. I did the "I'm talking to someone on the phone thing," trying to be cool. Halfway through the conversation my phone actually rang, I quickly answered but it was my mom on loudspeaker yelling, "Did you bring your tampons?" FML
Today, I got my crush's phone number. I started texting him and once I told him who it was, he stopped replying. FML
Today, my co-worker handed me the phone and said it was my boyfriend calling, so I answered "Hello, Love!" It was my boss. FML
Today, I got a call from this girl I really like. Surprised, as I never get anything other than a text from her, I answered. All I heard were rustling sounds. She had pocket dialed me. FML
Today, a cute girl I know in passing approached me very nervously and blushing like mad. She gave me a note with a number on it, said to call her, then ran away. When I called the number later, it was one of those rejection hotlines. What the hell? FML
Today, I fucked up when I answered a phone call. I wasn't sure who the number was at first, and it turned out to be my ex girlfriend who had apparently been stalking me. She asked me how my new girlfriend was, and as I answered it in front of my girlfriend, she's now depressed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

YDI. Way to lose your temper after 2 calls.

Ever heard of call screening? To #1, you knew it's annoying, yet you did it anyway? We can SEE the #1, there's no need to say it.

The OP is an idiot, but what's wrong with the crush that sie can't even say "hello" like a normal preson? Are phone conversations really THAT terrifying?

It's annoying that this is the 3rd or 4th FML with this story, but just different people on the other end.

The second call and you start "swearing uncontrollably with rage"? You've got anger problems.

I agree, if he/she was going to bug you that much without even saying something, they deserved it, not you.

what's wrong with the girl calling the guy? some people seem to be stuck in the 50's. I guess the yelling didn't make her less nervous ahah. but since he knows that she was going to ask him out, hopefully that means things are all good :)

Well it has nothing to do with being old fashioned. I'm the type that won't go out with u unless u have the balls to ask me and I don't get dumped. Never have been before. Always the dumper haha ;)

Ok, for one, i think the "swearing uncontrollably with rage" is probably an exaggeration, so I doubt he has anger management issues. And two, Its very annoying to get up from video games/tv/resting/etc., especially if you are across the house, to answer the phone and have no one respond. My instinct would say its a prank caller too, and in all likelihood, they would continue to call, so I would yell at them too. FYL And #33, Who's to say that this doesn't happen more often, just because its been posted before or it happened in a movie or tv show doesn't mean it can't happen again.

that's awkward but pretty easy to explain. i mean, it doesn't make sense that someone would call you and then not say anything, even if they were nervous... usually they just don't call until they finally work up the nerve. so it's not like you could have known it was her. anyway, i hope when you found out it was your crush, you called her back apologizing and asking her out.
