Today, I decided to finally tell my name to this really hot guy I had been anonymously chatting with for a couple of weeks. He said he would be fine with whoever I am, and want to go out with me. After sending my name, there was a long, awkward pause, and his last reply to me was, "Oh." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I met a really nice guy. He was funny, handsome, and we were both into each other. He told me his name, and when I replied with mine, it came out sounding like "I'm a bear." FML
Today, I was on vacation, when a very cute guy starting talking to me and asked me what my name was. Overwhelmed and stressed out, I blurted out that I didn't have one. FML

Today, I expressed my feelings to a guy I've liked for a long time. He basically turned me down because I have the same name as his mom, and dating me would be too weird. FML
Today, the guy I’ve been hanging out with and crushing on told me we now know each other well enough to be completely open with each other. I was excited, thinking our mild flirtations would finally go further. He just wanted me to know he’s gay, and asked me if I knew any single guys for him. FML

Today, I gained the courage to talk to the guy I have a crush on. In a dying part of the conversation, I panicked and ended up asking him if he was gay. He replied no and seemed offended, so I quickly added, "You just seem a little gay sometimes, in a good way." He took more offense and left. FML

The vibe I'm getting here is that you were trying to trick the "really hot" guy into going out with you, by approaching namelessly and facelessly. That's why you extracted the "yes, let's meet" commitment before revealing your identity, isn't it? You knew he wouldn't go out with you if you approached without games. He bears some responsibility for his own awkward commitment, since he kept messaging you without demanding your identity. He's not responsible for your feeling sad about his lack of enthusiasm, though. You're the one who manipulated him into that position, and YDI.

Sounds like you knew him or at least he may have known you before this. Otherwise why be so iffy about your name? Given his immediate reaction I'm guessing he knew who you are or was able to find out very quickly. Doesn't sound like you had given a picture if all it took was your name to. make him rethink everything. YDI for this and for being someone that would say "lol awks"

She describes him as really hot, ergo she is just as superficial as he is. It's hilarious how people want the right to only be interested in hot people, but then get mad when the hot person isn't interested in them.
