Today, while out for lunch, a guy approached me and asked for my number. I politely declined. To my dismay, he dropped to his knees, grabbed his head, and started moaning about how nobody ever gives him a chance. I felt the accusing stares. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had a very good-looking guy ask for my number while I was at work, but due to our policies I had to turn him down. FML
Today, I was having lunch at a cafe. There was an attractive guy looking at me from another table. I smiled back and gave a little wink. A minute later he approached me. I introduced myself and asked if he wanted my number. He said, "Um, no but what are you eating? It looks really good" FML
Today, a guy asked for my number at the grocery store, but I politely told him I wasn't interested. He followed me home and took a shit on my doorstep. FML
Today, while at the supermarket, a complete stranger ran up to me, got down on his knee and confessed his love for me. He was obviously mentally unstable, so I gently declined. He started crying very loudly in front of everyone. I still don't have a clue who he was. FML
Today, I saw a ridiculously hot guy dining with his family. I decided not to flirt with him with his parents around but to ask his sister (who went to the restroom) to give him my phone number. When I came back, I saw her pointing a finger at me, and the whole family turning around and staring. FML
Today, I was working at the mall as the girl that stands around giving out samples of the foods. This guy came up to me and we were flirting for at least 30 minutes. With the tray in one hand, I gave him my cell to put his number in it. He ran away with my phone. FML
Today, I saw a cute girl working register at my regular coffee shop and politely asked the her for her number. I was brutally rejected. A few minutes later, a douchebag with a popped collar approached her with a cheesy pickup line and left with not only her number, but a free frappe. FML
Today, I was out to dinner with a friend I had a crush on. The whole time, he was flirting with the waitress while I was trying to get him to notice me. When we got the check, he looked at her and said, "She's not my girlfriend, I only go out with pretty girls. So, can I have your number?" FML
Today, I offered my phone number to the guy I've been flirting back and forth with all week. He said no. FML
Today, I met a really cute guy at work. He asked for my number, and I wrote it down on a piece of paper. After looking at the paper, he crumpled it up, yelled "Do you think I'm stupid? I know the rejection hotline when I see it", and walked away. It was my real phone number. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Find someone giving you the glare and say "hey, that person over there looks like she'd give you a chance."

Although this is a sad story, you can't control how people react to rejection. You were polite in your response to him so you shouldn't feel guilty.

This is why you memorize the Rejection Hotline number. Most creepers know the digits of 1-800-EAT-SHIT, so that doesn't work anymore.

you think if they got this number from enough women theyd learn to stop creeping

#19, you're confusing creepers with quitters. Your high-end, veteran creeper has the gifts of persistence and irrational optimism. So, . . . what are you wearing?

Lederhosen and crocs. Does that get you going, Perdix?

#67, normally, yeah, . . ., hell, yeah! But some idiot put an unnecessary and incorrect hyphen between "grammatically" and "incorrect" that has caused me some issues down there.

I heard your testicles also retracted back into your body. Today's just not your day, huh?

Creep him out. Smile creepily and stare at him until he leaves. You can also mutter some creepy stuff like sacrificing him to satan and stuff. It always work with me. Jk I don't have friends.

The dude needs to learn the proper technique for hitting-on a gal. Asking for her number is childish & lame. If an unknown gal approached me in this same manner, I'd have reacted the same as OP did.

oh shove it. Majority of the time being forward and blunt is the best way to get a woman to like a guy. It shows confidence and honesty. It's better than him taking you out for drinks, getting you drunk for sex, and leaving you in your bed wondering if there could have been something more there. Though the moment he broke down afterwards he made himself completely pathetic and deserved it. Sorry OP, just walk off next time.

Does that bathing sit help you pick up women or scare them off?

Suit* auto correct sucks. Like your bathing suit.

Dude no. "Being forward and blunt" to the point of literally going up to a stranger (who has no reason to assume you aren't a creep, rapist, etc) and asking for their number is NOT good. That's dumb and honestly PRETTY THREATENING. Douchebags who think like you are the reason so many women can't trust men, can't accept any dates, etc. Grow the **** up. You may not realize it because you're a guy. The world is literally set up to pander to you. You ask out a girl you don't know and people congratulate you or console you; a woman does the same and is considered a **** or insane. She isn't considered brave. I realize FML is only one step above 4chan in terms of "scum of the earth" but dude. Stop it. Now. I pity any woman who gets within 10 feet of you.

I'm all for being "forward & blunt". But: "Hi, what's your phone number?" is a classic fail. I work as a salesman -- I have to introduce myself to people all day long. There's a correct way & a wrong way. OP's guy was completely wrong.

Whatever you do, don't go home. You don't want him to follow you like a little list puppy.

It's not your fault OP.

You did the right thing. It sucks that he put the spot light on you like that. He pulled something like this before throwing a fit in a mall when his gf tried to break up with him so I suggest you run away.

Shouldn't have worried about those accusing eyes. They were more than welcomed to volunteer their own phone numbers at anytime.

Also milfs looking for action while their husbands are at work.
