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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went on a date with a guy. I lost interest in him quick, so I excused myself to go to the bathroom, hoping to make a run for the hills. As soon as I reached the front door, our server yells out, "I hope you’re not thinking about dining and dashing!" FML
Today, I went on a blind date at a local restaurant. When my date walked in, she took one look at me, said "Nope", and walked out. FML
Today, I went on a date. After we finished our meal, I had to use the bathroom really bad. When I said so, my date totally lost it and accused me of planning on climbing out a window and ditching her. "Fuck that and fuck you!" she said, then stormed out, leaving me with the bill. FML
Today, I went on a blind date. My date spent the whole time at the restaurant on his phone and didn't even try to show interest. Thankfully I'll never have to deal with this individual ever again. FML
Today, I went on a date to the movies with this guy I kinda like. When he was driving me home, he asked me to be his girlfriend; I said I couldn’t because it was really bad timing. He kicked me out of the car, called me an asshole, and made me walk home. FML
Today, I went to the movies with this guy I'd started dating. During the movie, I thought it would be cool and funny to make sarcastic comments. When he dropped me off home, he told me that it was the worst date ever and to not talk to him again for being "annoying and obnoxious." FML
Today, I went on a date with someone I've been talking to online for weeks. Unfortunately, it turns out they'd used old photos and misrepresented themselves, and I didn't find them attractive at all. Even I'm not that desperate. We ended up having an awkward dinner and I couldn't wait for it to be over. FML
Today, I went on a date. We met in the parking lot of a restaurant. As I approached his car he took one look at me, said "Nope", and drove off. FML
Today, I was on a date with a guy I met online. After 30 minutes, he abruptly stands up and says he has to leave. He practically ran out of Starbucks to get away from me. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm sorry that your heart is crushed but you can't exactly fault the guy for being honest. He could've been so much nicer but he was being true to his feelings. Even if you thought he was meant for you, he clearly doesn't feel the same way about you. Cheer up and find someone else who loves you for who you are :)

At least he was honest with you

100% agree. Sometimes the truth hurts, but at least you know how he feels. There's plenty of fish is the sea, OP!
DemosthenesMB 13
Indeed! We are each attracted to different types of people, and this time it just wasn't a mutual feeling. But OP, that's just life's way of saying "you'll meet someone so much better!"
kuzzy00 22
I imagine that OP had no interesting conversations. Perhaps she was ill prepared? We have all had one of those types of dates which you just want to get over and done with. 3 P's OP: - Prepare the location - Pursue questions that create a conversation (google has a huge library!) - Promptly have an escape planned. If you're dating a "crush" you need to make sure you stay in control and have a "I have to be somewhere" planned in 20min. You can then later choose another date later on and it'll keep the control on your side :) You'll soon relax quickly around this person, and you'll feel confident with dates in general. Lastly, don't stick to dates with just your crush. Experience comes from many bad dates lol :)

@kuzzy, op doesn't necessarily have to have all the control in their power. especially if you're looking for a relationship, the control should be equal

It's all well and good to be honest but it's also good to be nice and think of the other persons feelings when speaking to them. He didn't have to tell her she had 0 personality I mean she could have been nervous and maybe it wasn't all that fair to tell her that. Sorry OP @2

I totally agree with you that you can't fault the guy for not liking her and wanting to leave early. No one's obligated to like or date someone else. However I think you CAN fault him for being a completely rude ass-hat. You can tell someone you aren't interested in them without adding snide comments like "I’m too lazy to do a window escape." Clearly he was not only aiming to convey his disinterest, but also to hurt her feelings and humiliate her.

No one is "meant" for anyone else. Hate to burst your bubble. Some people just don't work. But everybody gets too caught up trying to find the one perfect person-who doesn't exist. Just need to find someone who makes you happy. Plenty of possible options.

#2 - I disagree. I do fault the guy for being rude. I don't give a flying **** how bad a date she is, there is simply no excuse for this type of behaviour. He could have just as easily made up an excuse to get out of the date, but he chose to act like an asshole. #34 - It sounds to me to like you just haven't found that one person yet. I used to think the same as you, until Mrs. Bastard quite literally fell into my lap.

Making up excuses leaves uncertainty/false hope. In my (short) experience it's always best to be direct and upfront about how you feel. That said, the dude didn't have to be a dick about it. There's such a thing as being assertive while remaining polite and tactful.

The **** kind of logic is that? "Sorry you got stabbed, but at least the guy was nice when he did it!"
mvc3ftw 17
seems like fml logic.

I hope he at least paid his share of the bill before leaving!
1dvs_bstd 41
but Gaddayum, talk about being brutally honest!
Schizomaniac 24
Right, 62. Since physically assaulting someone with a deadly weapon is comparable to discontinuing a relationship with them, your analogy is appropriate and valid.

I'm just gonna go out right and say it. If you can't handle the truth, you're weak minded. I don't care, thumbs this down if you want, but it's true.

You can certainly fault him for being a completely inconsiderate jerk. Maybe OP was nervous because she was on a date with her crush. It would explain the zero personality he sensed. Even so, he could have sucked it up for the rest of the meal and found a nice way to turn her down.
ChopSuey444 20
#99 There is a drastic difference between honesty and rudeness. Yes he was being honest and honesty is better than a lie, but his method was plain rude. Finishing the dinner, calling it and early night, and just saying "I'm sorry but I just don't think this is working out." delivers the same message without absolutely shattering a person. It in no way makes anyone "weak minded" to be offended by unreasonably rude people.

Hey..it's better to of figured out he wasn't the one so you can move on from a jerk!
Demig0d6 14
Well that sucked
Crlnprz 11
Not liking someones personality doesnt make you a jerk. Yes he was a bit too straight foward but honesty is always best. At least he didnt say "sorry you're just too ugly"
stargirl_95 24
Not liking someone doesn't make you a jerk but being so rude about it does. I mean was it really necessary for him to say that he's too lazy to plan a window escape? He could have at least paid his half of the bill (it sounds as though he didn't even do that) and politely told OP that he's not interested in pursuing that relationship further.
kate3101 15
Saying "you have zero personality" is not honesty, it's extreme rudeness. Even if that's what you think, a decent person would say "I don't think we're very compatible"/"I don't think this is going very well" or something, rather than being as mean as possible before making a throwaway dismissive remark and leaving. Honesty doesn't have to be cruel.
jstorie95 8
At least he was honest with you
lwood0812 16
It would've been nice of him if he hadn't just left her in the restaurant. There are many other ways to let someone know that you're not interested. He's an ass

How?! By him killing her?

I don't think you have no personality. It might help if you ran through your head different things to talk about on the next date you decide to go on, whoever it may be with. Sometimes we get caught up in the moment and freeze up, making us look like boring people instead of normal human beings. Good luck next time, however!
rdenkewicz 11
Based on what evidence did you make your assertion?! Do you know this person or are you just talking out of your ass?

And what if it had turned out that they had no common interests to talk about?

That really sucks. But it's hilarious at the same time

Your comment also sucked, but its no where near hilarious.
tpm45 25
At least he was honest, although he wasn't particularly gentle about it. A simple, "This isn't working," could've done it. Move on, OP, someday you'll find the right one!
