Today, I realized that when a girl asks what your plans are for Valentine's Day and you say, "Nothing" and she responds with, "Oh, I don't have any plans either", it means she wants you to take her out. It took me three months to figure that out. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, two days after sending her flowers for Valentine's Day, my dream girl asked me on a date. She didn't show up. Her boyfriend did though. FML
Today, I asked the girl I'm madly in love with out to dinner. When she asked me if I would pay, I jokingly said, "Well, that depends on how the date goes." She looked me up and down and said, "No thanks then." FML
Today, I asked a girl I liked what she was doing tomorrow night. She replied, "Cleaning, so nothing really." I then asked her out to dinner. She declined. FML
Today, the girl I’ve had a crush on for months told me she scored a Tinder date and she’s so excited to go out with him. Just last week, I worked up the courage to ask her to be my girlfriend and she told me she doesn’t want a relationship, and “doesn’t believe in love anymore.” FML
Today, after trying really hard to impress a girl and thinking everything was going the right way, hugs, kisses and chatting every night, and trying to spend as much time together, I get told, "I don't know what I want, but I know what I don't want." Meaning me. FML
Today, my girlfriend told me that she didn't know we were actually dating. FML
Today, I went out with a girl, I paid for the drinks, and thought everything went well, even though I didn’t make a move, I guess I wanted to take it slow. I texted later to invite her to a private beach next week, only for her to reply that she’s not gonna be available for the next few weeks because her boyfriend is coming to visit. FML
Today, I realized the reason I was asked to babysit 3 weeks ago for Feb 14 was because the old married couple with kids safely assumed that I wouldn't have a Valentine. FML
Today, the girl I've had a crush on for a year finally said she'd go out with me. On the way over to pick her up, she called me and said she couldn't go because she was going out to dinner with her ex-boyfriend to talk things over. She asked if she could use the reservations I had made. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Being subtle is one thing I think in most cases they want the guy to show some effort romantically in pursuing them. Though, there are women that subtle is one thing, but could easily be mistaken for being friendly and not interest. For the OP if she had been hinting at hanging out or doing something down the road the signs were there for you take take the opportunity and see how it would go. If not yeah she wasn't giving you enough info.

Why can't girls just be straightforward? Seriously how hard is to say "I'm alone on valentines day, you should take me out." Or does that just make it sound desperate....

To her, and a lot of other women in the US and possibly Canada and Europe, she probably thought she was being straightforward. Margret Mead explains it better. You should look into her stuff. It's interesting. ^_^

I don't know why people are voting ydi on this one. Sometimes things like that don't always click, and she could have said something back then herself.

Communication differences for the win! Don't feel too bad, just ask her out if you want to. Explain the situation. She might think it's... amusing.

This guy asked my sister, "So, are you going to prom?" She just said "no" so he awkwardly walked away. I think I hit her with something after that.

Is it safe to assume most of the YDIs are from females?

A bit slow there...
