Today, through a mutual friend, I met the girl of my dreams. After flirting and exchanging numbers with her, my friend confessed that she's liked me since the day we met. Now the girl of my dreams doesn't want to pursue a relationship with me out of respect for our friend. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the girl of my dreams, the one person I've met in my life that I could see myself spending the rest of it with, told me she loves me. She then specifically added "...but not in that way, so we could never be together." FML
Today, after I finally got up the courage to talk to the girl I'd been crushing on for years, we've got super close over a few weeks. Her best friend, who I'm kinda friends with, texted me, confessing that she likes me. Now the first girl won't talk to me for the sake of her best friend, who I'm not interested in. FML
Today, I managed to convince the girl of my dreams to stop being so shy, and put herself out there to get her crush to make a move. It worked. And yet as it turns out, I'm not her crush after all. FML
Today, after months of dinners, coffees, drinks, and a few nights together, the girl of my dreams told me about this awesome guy she met yesterday. FML
Today, I found out that one of my best friends likes the girl that I like. What's funny is that my best friend is also a girl, and has a better chance with her than I do. FML
Today, I got rejected by a girl I was talking to. We had mutual feelings, and I waited a long time for her to be single again. We talked, made out, and now she has gotten into another relationship, acting like she doesn't like me anymore… but still wants to be friends? FML
Today, I finally built up the courage to confess my love to the girl of my dreams. She turned me down. When I asked her about all the recent receptive behavior toward me, she replied, "I thought it'd be funny." FML
Today, a really cute girl from my class invited me out for a few drinks. I’ve had a crush on her all year and thought this was my chance. We went out but it turns out she has a boyfriend of 5 and a half years she plans to marry. I saw her as a potential girlfriend and I guess she saw me as something else. FML
Today, at 1am, the girl of my dreams that I've been trying for over three years to date, finally asked me out via SMS. Too bad I was asleep at the time. She now thinks I've rejected her, and will no longer speak to me. FML
Today, I finally got the girl of my dreams' phone number. After texting her "Hey, is this Stephanie?" I got response saying "Sorry bro, I know how you feel, she did the same thing to me." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Honestly, if I were the friend, I wouldn't let myself get in the way of two people wanting to be together.

In a perfect world, you get the perfect girl and the perfect friend. In this world however, it seems you get neither. Life sucks sometimes.

It is really hard when you like someone a lot and they fall for your friend. It sucks for everyone involved. It is also really hard for OP and the friend. I think it isn't always clear whether there is a right or wrong thing to do in this situation.

Give it some time, it might be a good thing that she's giving you space to sort things out with your current friend. Maybe when emotions are running a bit less high and your friend has come to terms with her unrequited feelings you can try again with this girl. It also sounds like you're putting this girl on a pedestal a bit, it could be a good chance to get to know her properly as an actual person instead of some sort of dream girl.

well this is.... complicated. How long have u known this friend? If its been a year or so, why the hell not try at least? I mean the "girl of your dreams" u just met. You've know your friend for longer. Besides if it doesn't work out chances are u could always try with "the girl of your dreams "

@18: If he doesn't share the same feelings for the friend then he shouldn't just try for the stake of trying. It also sounds a bit like a pity date just to try due to how long they've known one another.

oh... i should've thought that shouldn't i? In case it's not obvious im not good at dealing with these scenarios.

Wait... So she set you up with that girl & then confessed to you after you hit it off with the girl she set you up with? Does anyone else find this strange?

It doesn't say the girl set them up together, just that they met through her. She probably just introduced them in a friendly way, and then got upset when she realized they were falling for each other, prompting her to disclose her feelings.

If she liked you so much, and for so long, I think she should have told you. It was also kind of a dick move by her to tell you when you met someone you clearly like more than her.

I've read this 4--5 times now & wonder if either of the 2 females in the OP's story are capable of behavior belonging to a mature adult; this sounds more like junior-high behavior. Yes, OP, your life sucks. Sorry, dude.

I agree with #4, if I were the friend I'd back off even if it hurt. Sometimes you just gotta accept situations.

this sounds really strange- maybe your friend is jealous that you're spending too much time with your crush.

I met a man of my dreams 7 years ago. We met though my friend who used date him. We lost contact until recently few months ago. We both realize we still have feelings for each other. We decide to date and told friend about it. She got really mad about it but come on. It been 7 years. Can't she be happy for me? So, your friend need to understand how you feel and let you to have her!

Just kindly tell your friend that you aren't interested in them that way. Problem solved.
