Today, I overheard my crush and his friend talking about girls they would date. When his friend mentioned me, my crush said, “If she wasn’t fat, hell yeah.” Choking back tears at school for the rest of the day was not an easy task. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I noticed my crush of almost 3 years was talking to me a lot more at school. He seemed genuinely comfortable around me, even playing with my rings during class. I thought maybe I had a chance. Nope. A mutual friend just told me he likes another girl. A girl who coincidentally looks just like me but skinnier. FML
Today, I heard the guy I love talk to a friend of his. He was telling his friend how he appreciates all my attention, affection, and random gestures such as buying him lunch sometimes, but he’ll never see me in a romantic way because I’m “too fat for his taste.” I was basically used the entire time. FML
Today, I heard that my crush’s dog had died. For some reason, my first instinct when I saw him was to say, “Oh my god, I heard that your dog died!” He started crying. FML
Today, my crush talked to me for the first time. He told me to stop staring. FML
Today, I got all excited because I thought my crush was flirting with me, when in actuality she was taking advantage of me liking her so she and her friends could make fun of my speech impediment. FML
Today, after thinking my crush maybe liked me back, I confessed. He didn't. FML
Today, my friends told me that my crush was hooking up with another girl. I wouldn't have taken it that bad if he hadn't flirted with me all the time, giving me false hope. FML
Today I was walking around the mall and I saw my crush from high school. He came up to me and, instead of talking to him, I burped, and he just walked away. FML
Today, I was rejected by my crush at work, because I'm "too ripped." FML
Today, I tried talking to the very quiet girl in my grade. We were having a conversation when a very hot guy walked into the cafeteria. I said to the girl, "The things I would do for him…" She looked at me dead in the eye and said, "That's my boyfriend." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The YDI's are absolutely ruthless and disrespectful. We can be better than this!

I was with you until the last bit. He has every right to decide he doesn't find larger girls attractive enough to date. Everyone gets to decide what they like. But saying that OP should change to be what he likes is utter bullshit.

I would not want to date someone like that. People relationship cant be based on a few pounds. But each person has their own taste. Assuming you are still interested it seems that he is very much into you. There are much harder things people do for love than losing a few pounds. That said I never understood why not just find someone who likes you the way you are...

Sounds like he's almost there. Initiate a propaganda campaign on him by sending him some BBW pr0n. He'll come around, so to speak.

I'm sure all the YDI, only meant that she should not let some shallow person make her feel bad about herself. And that the only power he has to offend her is the power that she is giving him. And that she should feel self confident that she'll find the one that love and respect her for who she is. Can't be that they meant anything else.

Well, it sounds like you would have a real shot at him if you could lose some weight. So, that is what you have to do.

Look, we can't help what we are attracted to or not. If extra weight is an issue for him then that does not make him a bad person. He can be completely understanding about why phycological issues may have led to obesity and even be a really great guy but simply not be attracted to overweight people. In fact, he even admitted to his friends that, on some level, he finds you attractive. Many guys would just have done the bro thing and shot you down but he gave a balanced answer that actually left him open to ridicule. So, the question now is this: Are you going to revert to the victim mentality or are you going to take positive action to improve not only your chances with him but also your health and your self-image? Many people would give their eye teeth to be able to know exactly what they have to do in order to get that one person. You have that information, now what are you going to do about it?

Fair enough. But does she want him or not? I do agree that she should, ideally, be doing it for herself though otherwise she might run into this problem again and again. You have to decide what league you want to play in and act accordingly.

Doesn't sound like someone to be infatuated with any more, you dodged a nasty one there.
