Today, after doing inventory at my job, I was approached by a co-worker who I had always thought was cute. I tried talking to her, but it was hard as I kept trembling and stuttering from spending two hours in a meat locker. Now she assumes that I'm "special". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to a grocery store after work, exhausted. I nodded politely at a woman who smiled at me repeatedly. I realized at checkout she thought I was someone she knew. I nodded through a full conversation without knowing who I was pretending to be. FML
Today, I saw my old high school crush in a grocery store. I panicked, because the last time I saw her, I was spouting embarrassing teenage incel horseshit at her, so I dodged out of view to look at something. She'd seen me, came over, and found me awkwardly crouched in the vegetable section, staring at a cucumber. FML
Today, I was stuck in an elevator with my workplace crush for 10 minutes. Trying to break the silence, I nervously said, “I’ve always thought you were amazing.” She smiled and whispered, “I thought you were the new maintenance guy.” I work in marketing. FML
Today, I had a conversation with the cute girl I like at work for the first time. I told her I worked in the camping department of the store, and we had a long chat about how she heard that the guy who runs that department is a complete dick head. I am the guy who runs that department. FML
Today, I went to work at my new job after taking a shower but I'd forgotten to put on deodorant. I started getting strange looks and wondered why, only to find out later that everyone was talking about me, including someone I have a crush on. FML
Today, I ran into someone I'd never had a crush on in school, but because I've realised we have a lot in common, I get nervous whenever I see him. I was so near to him while paying for food that I had an anxiety attack, and had to leave quickly. 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 saw my crush working the only open till at the grocery store. When she saw me approach her queue, she immediately called for more cashiers. FML
Today, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and talk to my coworker because people have been saying I’m too shy. I say, "Hey" to a girl and she made fun of my voice. She’s the one who told me to talk more. FML
Today, I mistook a random stranger in the grocery store for my friend and started complaining about how annoying my coworkers are at the moment. The stranger just nodded, concerned, and slowly backed away. FML

Did you ever consider, oh I don't know, talking to her when you WEREN'T hypothermic? Or is that just a crazy suggestion?

Why didn't he just wait till he wasn't freezing...

She approached him... That would have been awkward. Is he just suppose to stand there? Silent?

Well, he could simply have commented that he just expended two hours at the meat locker, just for the sake of conversation. Jesus, people these days find very hard to comunicate in person!!

But that would be the smart thing to do....

Or he could just explain the situation to her... "Sorry I keep shaking. I just did inventory in the meat locker for two hours straight. It sucked" is easy enough to say. And he might have even gotten some sympathy points from her, too.

I think that the point was that she approached him. It would look even worse if he just ignored her while she spoke to him. Of course, he could have told her WHY he was stuttering; she would have understood!

I think it'd be kinda rude to just walk away from someone who approached you without saying anything. And if he did say something, he'd still be trembling and stuttering from cold, and be right back where he started. Edit: Whoops, looks like a couple of people got ahead of me while I was thinking of what to type.

Social fright is common. This is one of the best things to try and get over though. You can use it in more than your love life, like your buissness life of something.

It wasn't from social fright, just the cold for 2 hrs.

I get the distinct impression that you misunderstood this fml...

That's how I am when I meet a cute girl, regardless if I'm cold or not... Haha. Just try again op. :)

First get that "special" pity, then kindness, then love, then sex, then.... Take it step by step

He has to take her out to dinner first

Why are your comments always about sex...
pradip 26
24. Always? I hadn't realized it till now. Sorry if I grossed u out. Also sex isn't new or strange on FML.

That sucks OP but let me tell you from experience......... Don't date co-workers
perdix 31
You're so greedy. You're hitting on one girl after you spent two hours in another one's meat locker. Ingrate!!! So, even if that's how you roll, all hope is not lost -- pity sex can be very hot.

Dude, she approached him. So you're saying he just shouldn't have talked to her and walked away? How would that have worked out?

Dude, you obviously can't detect even the highest levels of sarcasm.

I think you might wanna clear things up with get... You know, so everybody doesn't start thinking that too.
