Mixed signals

By Intheway - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, the guy I've been dating told me that I need to stop hanging on him in public because it's ruining his game with other girls. FML

Instead of whining about it, realize he's a jerk and stop dating him. No one can mistreat you unless you allow them to.

Excuse me #50 but u have no right to correct how i talk, u don't kno me. And im not talking about sum1 wanting to "buy me off" as u say, i justr want a guy to prove he actually want to be with me so i kno im not wasting my time with him! And you cant pretend u dont like getting spoiled from time 2 time. Lets not be ridiculis! Its in a girls nature to want 2 b takebn care of. And #44, are thesse good enouhg paragraphs 4 u? Y dont u try getting a date instead of correcting what a girl says!!!!!!!!!!

"Its in a girls nature to want 2 b takebn care of." WTF? Are you secretly pining for the 1950s? Sure it's nice to be "taken care of" when you're ill or just plain old tired but honestly, if you can't look after yourself what on earth do you think you can bring to a relationship? Comments like that are why women stay in crap relationships! Learn to take care of YOURSELF, then you'll be a complete human being and have much better relationships.

I don't really care if I don't know you; I just said it's easier to read if you at least try to use grammar. That would be buying me off, in my opinion. I don't like getting spoiled, or getting gifts at all for that matter. It's not in my nature to want to be taken care of, I feel like I'm being looked down on if someone does that to me, it's in my nature. #53: Exactly.

God, you're an idiot. I don't care if I "know you" or not. Your internet mannerisms are saying enough. Your logic is ridiculous, A guy shouldn't have to "prove" he cares about you by buying you shit. Please, guys, don't take this goldbrick to be the standard for women. Most of us really do have a brain. And a great many of us aren't just looking for you to buy us shiny things. For **** sakes. And before you go trying to combat my argument by telling me to "get a date"... I'm married, and quite happily so, so try something else.

Um no, actually im in school 2 be a nurse and i plan on working. But that does not mean i dont like 2 b spoiled from time 2 time. It makes me feel special and i beleive every1 should feel special sumtimes. Its not degrading, i sumtimes take my boyfriends out for dinners 2! Im not "pining for the 1950s" and yes when the time comess i will quit my job and take care of my children and my husband will work to provide for the faamily because that is what is healthiest 4 the family!

You're now sounding ridiculous to me; thanks for the half hour or so of entertainment, though.

I just LOLed so hard I nearly spat tea on the screen. You're studying to be a nurse? Lord help anyone reading your charts! But seriously, if you believe being a stay at home mum is the best for your (eventual) family then that's what you should do. Just be aware that it often takes two incomes to support a family and that working mothers are excellent role models for children. Oh and a piece of advice my mother gave to me..... make sure you have a "cunning kitty": enough money in a separate bank account to survive, with the kids, for 2 months in case of marriage failure. Good luck with it all.

Ah, I'm glad I checked this again. I've had one guy tell me he loves me; my boyfriend. And I know he means it, I don't need him giving me things to prove it to me. And for me, one is enough.

@ mushrooms - Oh sweetie.... I think you're confusing "I love you" with "I want to get in your pants". But to answer your question, I have one who tells me everyday and then asks if I'd like to play trains LOL

"when the time comess i will quit my job and take care of my children and my husband" That poor man. Those poor children. *Sigh*.

Mushrooms or whatever, Im a female and I loathe men taking care of me unless I had surgery or something where I cant drive or lift heavy things. I dont like gifts or romantic crap. I prefer a partnership in which things are more or less equal and its based on trust, communication, and oh yeah, emotions. Not gifts, not overly smothering acts... Please stop with your generalizations and grow up. You will realize once you are older that there is more to life than being treated like "a princess" gag me with a spoon.... ugh.

seriously, how is writing 'sometimes' (correctly) easier or shorter by writing 'sumtimes' (wtf?)? it's not even an abbreviation like typing '4' instead of 'for'; which is just plain lazy by the by.

I'm sorry....this is the reason why people should all be legally forced to use safe sex until they apply to have a license to bear children. I can only imagine what mushroom's parents are like. And I hope to God she doesn't become a nurse because I would hate to be her patient. This is just pathetic. Thanks for making all women look bad, dumbass. Why would we be "jealous" of someone we've never even seen and only know through terrible writing? Do the world a favor sweetie and have your tubes tied, "stat" (which is 'doctor speak' for "right now", I know you'll never know what that means since you'll never get that far in med school).

i've literally started reading fml, JUST to look for your comments, i cant read something your write without first, agreeing 100% and second, laughing my ass off. *sigh* you are one funny man

Sweetie, I'm not sure you should type what you think into the mirror onto the internet, it just pisses people off.

Good lord, she's still going? Fmylife needs spell-check. How this idiot is 23 and in nursing school is beyond me. This is 2009 - we take care of ourselves. The economy is bad in a lot of countries right now and more than likely it takes two incomes to provide healthily for a family. You need to grow up and let go of the childhood fantasies and come to terms with reality. Stop attacking people you know are right just because you feel like an idiot. Good lord, it's morons like you that give a lot of guys the idea that women are just a pair of breasts and an ass. Grow up.

Sadly there is a spell-check! Clearly it's viewed as optional.

Y dont u grow up and reread everything ive been trying to say, #60! UR the idiot, just because i dont feel like spelling and typing everything out doesnt mean i dont kno what im talking about. U r a bitch with a stick up ur ass along with the rest of these jackasses. Of coursse that stick up ur ass is probably the only action u guys ever get so i guess enjoy it

Thequickredofox, that's depressing news. I guess I hadn't noticed it before because I don't spell words like "sum1" and "sumtimes". And as for mushrooms, now you're just attacking us from assumption. You need to get off FML and go open a book or something.

Okay, this is why it's important to having the "What are we" talk on the first date. I always do. If it's just dating, yes, he can see other women. If it's a relationship, then you have every right to an FML. The two are not always the same thing.

Mushrooms- I seriously doubt you've had a boyfriend over the age of 12 with that maturity level. Enough said.

And i bet uve never had 1 b4 at all

Random FML day - this comment shouldn't have gone here.

Sounds like he has no idea you are "dating." You were a one night stand. Get over it.

*Sigh* I'm done with mushrooms. This is ridiculous.

Nai_fml 0

It is ridiculous, but I'll continue giving my input until I've had enough. Who knows when that will be.

Haha, more power to you, it'll be an interesting read.

Well you know what they say about mushrooms......... fed shyte and kept in the dark ;)

thequickredofox, I'm not sure how to respond to that awesome comment, but I do want to tell you that was yet another awesome comment. And gummibehrs, I hope so.

Thanks Nai! ... I have hormones and I'm not afraid to use them.
