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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

Well people who prefer cats to dogs deserve to be shunned... Obviously that is the life lesson from this fml.. Obviously lol

The dating game can be a real dog-eat-dog world. Sorry you had a failed connection, OP.

Guess he wasn't much of a cat person.

I could maybe understand if you owned cats and the person was allergic or had asthma because that's a health issue but just preferring cats? That's harsh.

No, that is not a good reason to just stand up and walk out on your date.

just because you like cats better doesn't mean that you hate dogs.

Sorry, OP. Maybe it's just the scepticism in me, but maybe the date wasn't going that well from their perspective so they asked you that. And no matter what the answer would have been, they'd still have left. Chin up, more and better dates will come around :>

If he's allergic (or has a phobia of cats), I can understand. But, if he's just a douche, you're better off. I prefer cats myself. They're easier to take care of, and I'm terrified of dogs (bit in the eye by one when I was younger). But, if it were the first or last, there is a better way to say it.

I couldnt date a person who was a cat person because I am allergic. Even when taking allergy meds, my eyes get real itchy and sinuses haywire. I like cats, just can't be in a house with one. And if I learned a guy I date hated dogs, I'd leave cause I have two dogs. I will not put up with the "Its me or the dogs" ultimatum.
