Today, I've been single for a couple of months. The last time I was single, Tinder and dating apps didn't exist. After figuring out how to be successful with those and setting up several dates, I've already had 3 date cancellations for this week because of the coronavirus. It's going to be a long couple of months. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I deleted all of my dating apps because apparently something is wrong with me. I've been on 20 different dates this year and nothing has come out of it. I feel like I have the plague and no one wants to be near me. FML
Today, at a time when dating app usage is at an all time high, in 3 months I've only managed 4 likes and one brief match on Bumble. I'm not terrible looking by any means, yet I'm weeks away from my 8-year anniversary of being single. Am I cursed or something? FML
Today, my friends yet again told me to hop on Tinder and other dating sites, saying how easy it is to match up, and I keep telling them I will soon. In reality, I've been on them for weeks, without a match. FML
Today, I realized that every other targeted ad I see is for some sort of dating app. I've been single on and off for 5 years now, and it's starting to get to me. FML
Today, after a nice Thanksgiving with my parents, and the usual question about when I'll bring a woman with me to meet them, I absentmindedly launched the usual dating app. I swiped completely dry with no matches, reminding myself that my entire city doesn't have one person interested in dating me. FML
Today, I convinced my roommate, who’s been single for a while, to get back in the dating game. He downloaded Tinder. His first match was my girlfriend. FML
Today, I was swiping on Tinder when the app told me there was one else left to meet. I haven't had any matches. FML
Today, I went on two dates from a dating app. The first one said halfway through that we couldn't date because it would break his contract. The second one catfished me. This is why I have multiple dates in one day. They never end well. FML
Today, as I was creeping on social media, I realized that literally everyone I've ever dated is either happily married, engaged, or in a relationship. My last date was at the beginning of the summer. FML
Today, I’ve been single for 6 and a half years. It was fun for a while, but now it’s just sad. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Do FaceTime dates... I did this with my husband while we were long distance, and it was a lot of fun!

Just as I was starting to have sex, AIDS showed up. Don't look to me for sympathy, coronavirus is a temporary and minor ****-block compared to AIDS.

Hmmm what’s worse, getting super sick or not having sex for a while? I don’t think you deserve it, but it’s for the greater good to not be dating right now. Hope you stay healthy!

Get them to go to your house that way you can be in quarantine together

Try dating a first responder, we are less scared of the virus because we are trained to handle it.

If you knew anything about it you wouldn’t be less scared. Unless you’ve been listening to a certain potus...try asking the 200,000 dead Americans to not be afraid of it.
