Today, I went out with a girl I've been dating. I dropped her off and she finally asked me if I wanted to come in. When I did, she asked me to change a light bulb in her kitchen, and then promptly sent me home. 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 had feelings for since I was 14 (I'm 22). I took her out to dinner, then to a movie that we both liked and had a few drinks afterwards. I thought it was going really well until I was driving her home and she asked to be dropped off at her boyfriend's house. FML
Today, my girlfriend left me. When she moved out, she even took the light bulbs with her. 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, I was cuddling with the girl I've been seeing for the past few months. She was saying how much she liked me and how much I meant to her. Reciprocating those feelings, I asked her to be my girlfriend. It was a HARD no for her. Then she drove me an hour and a half home. FML
Today, I went on a date with a girl I like. Afterwards, I drove her home, and we just sat there awkwardly. I thought she wanted to kiss me but was nervous, so I jokingly said, "What're you waiting for? Christmas?" I guess she took that as a "Get the hell out", because she broke into tears and left. FML
Today, after spending a great evening with the guy I really like, he dropped me off outside my house. When he pulled into my driveway, his lights shone onto my drunken mum taking the garbage out in nothing but her black panties. FML
Today, the girl I like was panicking because her car broke down, so I offered her a lift to wherever she needed to be. I drove her to her boyfriend's house. She asked me to drive her home in the morning. FML
Today, I was working as a service writer in an auto service shop. A really cute girl came in to buy a headlight, I offered to install the bulb for her. My hand got stuck behind the headlight, she had to ask one of our mechanics to come remove the air box from her car to get my hand out. FML
Today, I brought a girl home from the bar. After sleeping together, she drunkenly stumbles to the bathroom to wash up. On her way back, she accidentally walks into my parents' room, turns on the lights and asks where her clothes are before figuring it out. FML
Today, I brought a girl back to my place. She commented on how neat and clean everything was for a bachelor. I absentmindedly said, “Yeah, my mom comes over and cleans three times a week.” She made a face like I'd just told her I eat puppies or something, then made an excuse to leave. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How many dates does it take to change a lightbulb? Only one, it seems.

Look on the bright side, you helped her out. She's in your debts.

What, is OP going to be like "well I helped you change your lightbulb, sooo you owe me sex"? It's a good thing he helped her out, but she doesn't owe him, it's a favor.

Pretty sure #1 was just trying to make a pun

Funny, but I don't think this was their only date since OP says they've been dating.

I don't mean to make light of this, but you can't go expecting her to turn your bulbs too unless you're forward to her

Tried too hard..
sillygirl247 14
You tried way to hard and just ******* killed it... Boo on you
aperron96 18
Lmao alright, does picking on strangers on the Internet make you guys feel good? Your parents should be proud. I made a pun, didn't quite hit it right and now you're being a dick. ??

How many nice guys does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Zelphoric 25
Only one, but he'll still manage to finish it last.
RedPillSucks 33
silly, nice guys don't fit in a lightbulb

you should have offered to screw something else other than her "lightbulb" ;)

You're dating someone. Don't get greedy. If you're that desperate for sex then YDI

Maybe sex is a way to closer to someone on a physical level. Maybe OP has been dating her for a few months and wanted to take their relationship to the next step. Maybe you're a little dumbass.

I'm thinking #7 has an odd view on sex. When I was dating I was firstly looking for a friendship, secondly looking for a physical compatibility, then an emotional connection. While I appreciate that these 3 things may have different importance or priority to each individual, my point is that while "dating" I'd expect sex at some point... Not "greedy" at all.

Not all relationships strive off sex. Some people have a low libdo, are uncomfortable with it, or want to remain chaste until marriage. Dating shouldn't guarantee sex, but it's nice to have. Wanting sex isn't greedy, unless you've only been dating for a little bit. It's how humans are, and wanting sex isn't a bad thing, but pressuring and expecting it from your partner is a little rude. If you did something for someone, they don't "owe" you. Expecting it will lead to disappointment more likely than not. Not expecting it might lead to a pleasant surprise sometime.

i bet you are single
crudeandrudeguy 29
@14- did you look at that girl? If she's single it's because she wants to be.

Being attractive just makes it easy to find someone. A horrible personality won't help you keep them.
cheeeksss 29
Yeah, by that statement and username, I am certain that "crudeandrudeguy" definitely chases after girls with amazing personalities. He should take a look at himself.
