Today, I left a gift on my colleague's desk, with a note saying I liked him. He brought it over and handed it back, and told me he's married. His Facebook says he is single. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a co-worker came back from his honeymoon. He passed by my office to say hi, and mentioned, "I heard you're getting married next year?" I broke up with my boyfriend yesterday. He's taking his things out of the house as I write this. FML
Today, on my Facebook newsfeed, I noticed a photo of a coworker. In the comment section of the photo he and his wife had written "I love you" to each other. As a joke I commented "get a room". Turns out the woman with the same surname as my coworker wasn't in fact his wife, but his daughter. FML
Today, I went to my husband’s work party where employees could bring a plus one. There, I met the colleague he talks so much about. She looked noticeably disappointed and said to my husband, “Wife?! You told me you were single!” We’ve been married for 7 years. FML
Today, I changed my relationship status on Facebook from "in a relationship" to "single." I forgot to take my phone to work, and when I got back, I saw someone had replied, "What happened?" Someone else commented, "He broke his hand." My ex and a bunch of other "friends" liked it. FML
Today, I woke up without my fiancé in bed next to me, but I assumed he'd gone to work early. I went on Facebook to find that he had posted a break-up post to himself from my account and set my status to single. I then found a note with "Sorry" written on it stuck to the kitchen counter. FML
Today, my fiance's divorce was finalized and we went out to dinner to celebrate. I stepped away to use the bathroom, then came back to a note on the table saying, "I'm going to enjoy single life, thanks!" He left me with the bill. FML
Today, my boyfriend changed his relationship status on Facebook to "Single" and his status to "I'm not kidding, leave your key on the counter." FML
Today, I went to my husband's work to give him lunch. His assistant told me his "wife" was in his office. FML
Today, my husband came home with a Christmas gift from a coworker. It's the same thing I got him. FML
Today, I found out the guy I was seeing was married, with a kid, when his wife sent me a friend request on Facebook. FML

if he's old enough to say "I'm married" (real or not) you're too old to be leaving "I like you" notes.

I wouldn’t rely too much on FB for relationship statuses...

I’ve never been married, but on Facebook, I’m divorced. Look more for a ring on the finger or perhaps photos on a desk before going all 3rd grade on the guy. You know, as opposed to stalking his social media accounts.

Generally speaking, it’s better to say personal things face to face rather than with notes or gifts. An astute person will note if the other person seems interested before pouring out their heart to the other person - Which saves both people from an unwanted situation. Regardless of if the other person is married or not, he’s just not in to you. Accept that and move on.

No, see, classic mistake. You're supposed to get your best friend to ask his best friend if he likes you. Then later you prank call him from a sleepover. Much more mature that way. 🙄

I know a lot of people who basically never check their Facebook or update it anymore. Doesn't surprise me if it's way outdated.

That’s inappropriate to do to a coworker. You don’t send gifts and love notes to each like you’re school children. You sound really young and inexperienced OP, or at least, I hope you are.

I’ve never bothered updating the settings on Facebook. You need to get away from your screen more.
