Today, I decided to talk to a girl at the gym I had seen there a lot. I walked up to her at the station she was at and asked her out to dinner sometime. I didn't realize she had been wearing headphones. She took them off and asked if I was waiting on the station. My courage left. I said yes. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was at the gym when I noticed a girl I like working out on the elliptical. I went to go say hi, but chickened out and went to run on the treadmill in front of her instead. I was so nervous that I tripped and the machine threw me headfirst into her machine. FML
Today, I was at the gym trying to work up the courage to ask a girl out. She was on the treadmill, and I thought it would be cute to wave hello. Instead, she looked horrified and sped up, then slipped and fell off the treadmill. She thought I was mocking her, and now everyone at the gym hates me. FML
Today, I finally got the courage to approach a girl. I've never done anything like this before. She stared me down, not saying a word, until I felt so little that I just walked away. FML
Today, I worked up the courage to ask someone out after months of debating it. She smiled, said yes, and asked what time. I got so nervous that I gave her the time I start work instead of our reservation. We both showed up to completely different places and spent twenty minutes wondering why the other had ghosted us. FML
Today, I finally got the courage to ask out a girl I've had a crush on for months now. She told me I was very cute and then walked off. I still don't have an answer. FML
Today, I was at a swim meet. I asked my friend if he could be my wingman and help me get a date with a girl I really liked. I told him my plan, and as I finished and turned to go to her, I noticed her standing right there, listening in on the whole conversation. FML
Today, I got a text from a girl that I've had a crush on for a long time, asking me out to dinner. I agreed and went to the restaurant. Not long afterwards, I got text from her saying something had come up, so she couldn't make it. As I was walking back to my car, I saw her walk into the same restaurant with another guy. FML
Today, I finally gathered up the guts to say hi to the girl I like. As I was walking down the hallway, I saw her and waved hello, only to walk into a bathroom door. FML
Today, I finally mustered up the guts to ask this girl I like to dinner and a movie. She agreed on the terms that she could bring someone, and I'd said it wouldn't be a problem. When I met up with her a few hours later, I found out she'd brought her boyfriend. FML
Today, I asked a girl what time she'd like me to pick her up for our date tonight. She didn't know what I was talking about. It seems like, after months of sweaty palms, nervous smiles, and awkward sentences, I only dreamed she said yes to going out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If it seems like she's willing to give you a chance, go for it! Second time's the charm ;)

Aww. It's okay. Try again another time since you see her often. It can be something you joke about later with her!

That's right, some funny story to tell during the first date - I don't want to generalize, but that would really make me smile, especially if a man was self-confident enough to admit such a situation happened. And if OP builds up his courage to actually ask her the second time, they he probably is.

Their name is "Aaron". I know very few females named Aaron.

C'mon, bro. JUST DO IT. NIKÉ. You at the gym? Working in your muscles? Let the strongest muscle in your body. Stronger than your brain. With the power of all your hormones. Let that muscle take over just enough to ******* ask her out.

Just for kicks I read that while imagining the president's speech from the movie "independence day"..

The worst that can happen is her saying 'no'. Next time you see her just ask her out.

The worst yes, is her saying no, but what that could imply could be terrible. From then on she will make an effort to not be in the same area as him. Even more so she will tell her friends about what a creep you are and those that you didn't even know at the gym will avoid you. After that someone may even complain to management that you make them feel uncomfortable and ask that you leave the gym. Yea the worst that could happen... A no, finding a new gym, and a possible restraining order. Girls are so easy aren't they :-)

Oh, come on. She won't do anything like that if OP doesn't stalk her, that's a huge leap of imagination here. Actually, even if she says no, it may still not be such a bad thing - she'll at least know OP exists, she may start saying hello and smiling. If she does, that's not such a lost case, some girls just won't go out with a stranger, but that doesn't mean you can't try to get her to know you.

Nah, it seems that the OP will be arrested and incarcerated for attempting to establish the existence of penile material on his person.

^She didn't spell anything wrong, she just didn't capitalize the letters. So what are you correcting?

You can do it. The worst she can say is no. Aaaaand did you know girls are more sexually aroused when their heart rate is elevated because it activates a sub conscience trigger? So even if she just running your chances are a little, so Hakuna matada, bro, Hakuna matada.

I hate to do this, but *matata.

I thumbed him up just because he used Hakuna Matata instead of ******* gay ass YOLO.

You could ask her to help you train on the station, to get close and personal with her ;)

Talk to her some more. She may end up asking you out. Equal opportunity yes?
