Today, I finally had a date, my first one in well over a year. Everything was going good, until my date asked, "Do you like cats or dogs better?" When I responded cats, my date promptly got up and left, saying, "This isn't meant to be." FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was on a date with a girl I've been crushing on for a while. At one point we started talking about pets we'd had. I wanted to show my sensitive side, so I told her how I sadly had to get my beloved cat euthanized earlier that week, and had buried her in my backyard. Her response? "Ew." FML
Today, I went to the restaurant where my date and I were supposed to meet. After half an hour he still hadn't arrived, so I texted him. He replied with a half-hearted apology and said he couldn't come because his cat had fallen asleep on his lap and he didn't want to wake it. FML
Today, I had a date over for the first time. Everything was going well until my dog decided to wedge himself between us on the couch, growl at my date, and then pee on his shoes. My date laughed it off, but my dog seemed to be giving me a smug “I warned you” look for the rest of the night. FML
Today, this beautiful girl that I've known for a long time told me that she just can't date me anymore because I remind her too much of her cat. FML
Today, I had a date with a woman. She brought her dog along. Everytime I touched her, her jealous male dog began to bark and tried to bite me. FML
Today, I went on a date after months of rejection and loneliness. Everything was going great until my date argued with me over the correct way to pronounce my name. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy that I really like. At the last minute he informed me a friend would be tagging along. To keep his friend from being a third-wheel, I kept up a conversation, and managed to piss my date off. He thought I would be a better match for his friend. FML
Today, I went on a date. Met the guy at the restaurant, everything seemed to be going OK, but then he spent the entire dinner talking about Pokemon GO, and wouldn't let me say a word. He suddenly stops talking, gets up, says he, "doesn't feel a connection" and leaves. I had to pay the bill. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy I've had a crush on for ages. Midway through the meal, he sighed and said, "I'll be honest, this is a horrible date. You got zero personality and I'm too lazy to do a window escape, so..." He then got up and walked out. FML
Today, a cute girl asked if my dog was available for a date on Valentine's Day. Thinking I was in luck, I asked if I should come along. She said no. My dog has better game than I do. FML

I guess being a crazy cat lady is in your future.

That was immature. I'm a cat person too, but I wouldn't instantly hate someone just because he liked dogs more.

I don't have any comment on this really... But if he is strong about this topic then I guess it's okay. Maybe he's allergic? This definitely needs a follow up

How do you know the OP isn't a guy that prefurs cats? Both my guy and I prefer cats... only because they're easier to own due to our busy lifestyle. We love all animals! Dogs (though great) are more demanding and need walks and plenty of playtime. It wouldn't be fair to own one that doesn't get the attention they deserve.

Off topic-- while speaking about cats and dogs. Someone once gave me this odd analogy of why guys get caught cheating more than women do. He stated: Girls are like cats, they bury their shit, where as guys are like dogs and will shit right in front of you!

Crazy dog people >.

I like dogs better, but I like cats too, and I have cats because they're MUCH lower maintenance than dogs.

#42 i dont think this post is about cheating...
sweetbliss3 37
she never said it was about cheating, she just gave a fun analogy
Senseless_487 29
Hence the "off topic" portion of the post.
ChristianH39 30
She DID say off topic

Not sure is OP's date was just looking for an excuse to leave, or really hates cats.... Who am I kidding we all know which one it was!

Maybe she's allergic to cats? Still a rather uncalled for action though,, rude.

OP's date might be onto something! It's all about love, this one. People who prefer cats are happy for the one they love to go do their own thing - look after themselves, maybe come in for a bit of food and petting but pretty independent. People who prefer dogs want someone to depend on them emotionally, want the kind of innocent adoration only a dog can give you (some people feel a bit smothered by that). If you want to shower someone in affection and like the mutual dependence thing, seeking a dog lover is probably not a bad start! Wow, long comment..

It's okay Op, cats rule! His loss if he prefers dogs.

I don't think the date cared much about OP's felines.

I think OP dodged a bullet!

Okay so apparently every one who thumbed down my comments didn't read the FML. Way to go people. Let's just be more dense than expected.

You do realize that it's a pun, right? Felines sounds close to feelings, not to terribly close but close enough in my opinion.
westzac 7
You said his loss if he prefers dogs so your being just as negative.
westzac 7
And most felines ignore you and only pay attention to you when the want food. If you get lucky, your cat is friendly and is out and about alot. Dogs will come check on you when you fall down and will be your best buddy all the time. I have had cats, and my neighbors have cats and i cant say that they are friendly

145 cats temperaments depend heavily on how they were raised and trained. Small kids running around and loud noises create an anxious and apprehensive cat. Cats will come and sit on your lap, nuzzle and play fetch if you have a good relationship with them. Dogs are awesome too but there's the walking part, and they alwaysss want to play... I guess it depends on what you're looking for in a pet.

You have got to be kitten me, cats are way better

Yeah, OP's date was just being a bitch.
rikitsumiatsu 11
Does that make me a bitch for being allergic to cats?
ohcheriecherie 20
70, that's not even close to what 30 said. the date, who as far as we know made no mention of an allergy, was being a bitch because he walked out on someone because of something trivial.
9echo 17
Plus, my comment was supposed to be taken as punny since the issue was about DOGS (female dog = bitch). Oh well.
isuckwithnames 22
My mom loves her cats even though she is allergic. My friend is allergic too and he loves his cats, which is where we get our cats.

Looks like you got put in the doghouse.

What a dog thing to do. You shouldn't waste your time with someone so catty. Seriously, they sound like a "bitch". I'm sorry. I'll stop meow.
iAlissa 34
Overkill.

Just stop trying.

A "dog" thing to do? Oh god...

I enjoyed them Stephanie... :/

i like how people down vote him but the people that say it was stupid also get downvoted. wut?
igive 29
Sounds like a type of person who believes horoscopes too! (compatability and such)
Opheliae 22
Well that was very catty of him to dog you like that.
isuckwithnames 22
Wow, this post gets thumbed up while another post makes the same puns, albeit different wording, and gets down voted.
Opheliae 22
Tough crowd.
2i1337i2iscore 13
Because the other post does not have a hot chick saying them... It's called a double standard. Be hot and a woman, you only have to be half as funny, compared to a man , where he must be 2x as funny, to get the same likes.

I'm just throwing down life lessons today lol

You guys could've argued like cats and dogs in the future.
