Today, I took my 9-year-old sister to an ice cream shop. There we met a boy about her age, who started a conversation with her, told her she was pretty and they ended up exchanging numbers. I'm 24 and so far I've never succeeded at getting a girl's number like this. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after weeks of eating in the same restaurant, I finally worked up the nerve to ask the super-cute cashier for her phone number. "Aw, how cute. Do you have an older brother?" FML
Today, I was walking to get ice-cream with my boyfriend. When we were ordering our cone, the girl who was scooping it said to my boyfriend, "Hey I know you! You're the one who slept with my sister-in-law the other night." FML
Today, I had dinner at a local fast-food joint. There's an employee there that I usually talk to and flirt with, so I thought maybe it was time to ask for her number. After a small conversation and almost getting to the point, she told me, "I'm 17." I'm 23. FML
Today, I told the guy I liked about my feelings, and he says, "Sorry I don’t like you, but can I get your sister's number?" FML
Today, I took a girl I like to a local band’s show. She didn’t want to dance with me, and after the show she got the lead singer’s number and planned to hang out the next day. We’re both 24, this kid just turned 19. She told me she was only into men her age or older. FML
Today, I saw a cute girl working register at my regular coffee shop and politely asked the her for her number. I was brutally rejected. A few minutes later, a douchebag with a popped collar approached her with a cheesy pickup line and left with not only her number, but a free frappe. FML
Today, I was at work at an ice cream shop when a hot guy came in and started chatting me up. I got him his ice cream and as I handed it to him, he mentioned that I was cute and walked away. Then I realised he hadn't paid for the ice cream, and I didn't even get a date out of it. FML
Today, I was hanging out with a friend at an ice cream place, and a guy started chatting with us. As he eventually went to leave, he told me, "That's a nice looking date you got there." Then he turned to my friend. "Wish I could say the same to you." FML
Today, my friend and I went to a bar for drinks. I noticed this cute girl and went over to say "Hi." I had a great conversation with her and I asked for her number before she left. She passed it to me on a piece of paper with instructions specifying for my friend to call her and not me. FML
Today, I was meeting my sister's fiancé. I went to an internet cafe before I went to her house for dinner with them. I was on a computer and there was this really attractive man next to me. I was flirting with him and we exchanged numbers. Turns out, he is my sister's fiancé. FML

Home number or cell? I hope a 9 year old doesn't have a cell phone for anything but emergency calls.

It's just a number.... Heh. Kidding. Actually, that is kind of funny. I'm sure you'll get lucky soon, man.

Keep trying! The more girls you ask the less likely you'll be turned down

That's not how it works.

Rule #2 of being the big brother: You never let the younger sisters date until at LEAST 15 years old. YOU FAILED.

Yeah because your sister is property and doesn't get to make her own choices does she?

Apparently, sarcasm is a weakness of yours.

#30, Donald Trump is about to become a major party presidential nominee. In light of that, how can you possibly expect anyone to know you're not being serious, especially through text?

Yeah, sadly there a quite a few people who actually believe things like that so it can be hard to tell what's joking and what's not..

Everyone seems to be having a fit that they exchanged numbers and acting like they are going to start properly dating, kissing and having sex etc. It's simple, 9yo boy meets 9yo girl in ice cream shop, he thinks she's pretty and they seem to get along well so they decide that they want to be friends so they exchange numbers so that they can call each other and develop the friendship. So what the hell is wrong with making a new friend these days? Also, it doesn't say whether is was cell phone or land line but who cares? I've seen plenty of 9yo and younger kids with cell phones as a means of contact for the parents. There is nothing wrong with this and if the kids use this technology to help develop new friendships then great! /rant
