Today, my boyfriend took me to dinner. There was a beautifully decorated table with rose petals and a huge bouquet and he told me he had ordered all this for me. I'd never felt so special. That is, until I had to get up for the couple whose table it actually was. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend told me he was going to take me out somewhere special, so I called in sick for work. Turns out he had made reservations for the restaurant I worked at. FML
Today, I decided to pop the question to my beloved. Perfect lighting, fresh cut roses, a fancy dinner. The restaurant was in on it too. Shame they brought out the wedding-themed congratulations dessert before I actually went down on my knee. FML
Today, at a romantic dinner my boyfriend was treating me to, the waiter brought a "Will you marry me?" cake out, with candles and sparklers. I probably should have checked that they'd brought it to the right table before dramatically screaming ,"Yes!" and jumping into my boyfriend's arms. They hadn't. FML
Today, my boyfriend treated me to a surprise romantic dinner, got me a huge balloon bouquet, a dozen roses, and a beautiful card for my birthday. Too bad it's his ex's birthday and not mine. FML
Today, I awoke to rose petals leading me to the front garden. Curious, I followed them, thinking my boyfriend planned something romantic. As I walked out the door, I was hit in the face with a paper plate full of whipped cream and sprinkles, and then locked outside. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend out for dinner to a fancy Italian restaurant for our one year anniversary. After giving her some roses, freshly baked cookies, and a thoughtful poem I wrote for her, she started laughing and asked for her real gift. FML
Today, my boyfriend brought me to a restaurant on a surprise date. I guess he didn't know that my ex-boyfriend now works there, and that he would be our waiter for the evening. FML
Today, I decided to surprise my girlfriend by cooking her dinner. I spent hours preparing and making sure everything was perfect. I lit candles, set the table, and even put on some soft music. When she came home, she'd already eaten and wasn't hungry. FML
Today, my boyfriend took me on a surprise date, destination unknown. I dressed up, he had a tux on. We went to McDonalds. FML
Today, my boyfriend took me on a surprise date to an expensive restaurant. After the meal, he got down on his knee and proposed. We've only been dating for two weeks, so I said no. He just silently kept staring me in the eyes, no matter what I said or did. I ended up having to walk home. FML

How did he even think that would work out? As if the couple would see them at their table and apologize for intruding what they paid for?

You know whats funny. Maybe he didn't have the money so the reason why he did it is to make you feel special even for a little bit. Also a story like that is... wait for it.... Legendary. I maybe the only one saying this but it is a very good possibility.

Don't waste alcohol. There are kids in Africa that are sober.

You should get him the new PS4... Box and put something in it so he really thinks he's getting one.

And before he can open it she smashes it with a sledgehammer

It's the thought that counts :)

The thought of him seeing an opportunity to lie to his girlfriend and proceeded to do it? Yea, great thought.

If he'd have given a second's thought to this plan, he'd have realised how moronic and deceitful it was. No thought shown here.

#3, if only that were true!!! That's what you say when someone gives you an ugly sweater as a gift.

At least he put some sort of thought into it...even though it was misguided
Volcan_fml 22
Not really, he's just good at making shit up quickly.

No, he really didn't. He lied to his girlfriend.
MissCharlotte_fml 26
Yeah, he put some thought into it... probably took him about 2 or 3 seconds to decide to steal a couple's table but yes there was some thinking involved

Ah yes, just as you and your boyfriend are, the best moments in life are fleeting.

Well at least he took you to dinner?

That's kinda messed up that he lied to you and got your hopes up like that..

One night you felt you almost felt special, aaaaand it's gone.

Omg, how embarrassing! I think I would have walked out then and there if my boyfriend told me such an outrageous lie!

At least there's one girl here who isn't saying "at least he thought of you". I was starting to worry. Taking credit for someone else's caring & thoughtful date is not thinking of someone. He didn't plan it. All he did was make up a lie.
