Love: Grown ups in the room

Grown ups in the room

By Tragics - 11/11/2009 18:53 - Canada

Today, my date sent me a text saying, "I'm sorry we're running late, we will be there shortly." I replied asking what she meant by "we." She said her parents, who were coming along to chaperone. I laughed about two 27 year-olds having chaperones, until she walked in with her parents. FML

Escape game

Today, my date escaped through a second-storey bathroom window before our drinks even arrived. She later texted me that it wasn’t my fault, I just reminded her too much of her father, even though I’m two years younger than her and look nothing like the photos I've seen of him. FML

First Dates

By mildver - 20/04/2009 04:51 - Costa Rica

Today, I went to a date with a girl I thought liked me. We sat down at a restaurant, ordered some food and started talking. After 30 minutes, she said with a sigh of relief, "THANK GOD! There's my dad. Now I can leave. Bye, thanks for the dinner." The food hadn't even arrived yet. FML

Today, I met and asked a cute girl out on a date. We decided to meet at a fancy restaurant downtown. When I got there I saw her sitting with what turned out to be her parents. They made a huge scene, calling me a pedophile and a low-life. Apparently, the girl was 16 years-old. I'm 25. FML

Today, my boyfriend was taking me to dinner to meet his parents. As we pulled into the restaurant valet, I saw a woman in a slutty dress and hooker heels get out of the car ahead of us. I jokingly asked if we had accidentally pulled into a strip club, pointing at the woman. It was his mother. FML

At some point during the date, you should have asked the parents, "Hey, could you two leave for, say, 30-45 minutes depending on if this is one of my good days?" Remember, first impressions are important.

Everyone thinks every FML is fake. In fact, this site doesn't really exist at all.

And then you left, right? Because you prefer dating other adults, right?

a chaperon at 27 years old? that's is just sad. move on, dude. lol, that reminds me of a guy I dated back in high school. he was apostolic. he came to my homecoming dance with me but he was prohibited from dancing by his religion (?). for some reason, he didn't tell me this til we were on the way to the dance. i spent the night grinding up on other guys. needless to say, it was awkward. her parents being there might have something to do with religion. crazy but true.
