Today, I sent a dozen roses and a hand-written, heart-felt note to my ex-girlfriend to show her that I'm still madly in love with her. When I asked if she got the flowers I sent, she replied, "Yeah but you got the wrong color. You should've gotten yellow, that stands for friendship." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I sent the girl I like flowers, only to have her later post a picture of them online, saying, "Ha! When losers send you flowers." FML
Today, I sent flowers to my ex, scheduled to be delivered after work in the evening. She texted me at midday thanking me for the flowers. I looked at my shipping order and they haven’t been sent yet. FML
Today, I sent a guy in my English class a rose. He's kind of an outcast, so I though it would be a nice gesture. I asked him later how his day was going and he said, "Good. I got a rose this morning, but I could tell it was from a guy. The handwriting was awful." FML
Today, I planned a romantic dinner with rose petals, the whole lot, for my ex-girlfriend to win her back. When I took her to my house, I told her to guess what I had planned, to which she replied, "I hope it's not a stupid romantic dinner with rose petals and shit." FML
Today, I bought my crush a bouquet of roses plus one fake. The line was going to be, "I'll stop loving you when the last rose dies." I told my best friend and he thought it was such an amazing idea that he stole the fake rose and gave it to her himself. Guess who got the girl. FML
Today, I sent a text message to my boyfriend, saying, "Come over in an hour, I love you." An hour later, the doorbell rang. It was my ex, looking happy and still as smitten with me as before, with a bunch of roses. I'd got the wrong number. My ex and my boyfriend have the same name. FML
Today, I brought my girlfriend flowers. All she managed to do was to say, "It’s been a year since you brought me flowers." FML
Today, I surprised my girlfriend with roses. She surprised me by getting back together with her ex. FML
Today, my girlfriend came home with a huge bouquet of roses. They were from an admirer, brainwashing her to think I'm a terrible boyfriend for not buying her flowers like he did. FML
Today, I got flowers sent to my work, I happily opened them in front of my co-workers thinking they were from my crush, I open the card to see "Love you, from mom". My mother thinks my love life is so pathetic, thats she needs to send me flowers to cheer me up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's tough, but if she's not interested you need to move on.

Yellow is farewell.

OP- It's sad and hard to give up on a relationship but you've got to see that she's friend-zoning you to the max- drop her, grieve, move on- someone's out there who will love you but you won't find her if you hang on to this one!! Let her go!!

You want some water with that thirst?

When flowers still invoke the 'F' word, and not the good one, then you have no chance.

Friend zoning an ex is almost impossible. They always try to convince themselves that a grand gesture of some sort will make you come around. And all it does is make the recipient uncomfortable and pitying, which is super awkward. Always best to cut ties until both have completely moved on

I completely agree. I dated this guy for 3 years and it was very hard to move on. We cut all ties for almost a year until we realized we made great friends. Op should try doing the same.

#23, I'll bet the Bing translator used Auto-Detect to translate from English->Stalker.

Is this a thing? I feel like this should be a thing.

#52, it is, but I'm not sure how sophisticated it is. I entered: "**** off, creep!" "It was one date three years ago, there won't ever be a second." "Get out of that tree -- I can see you." "No, the jars of semen don't impress me." and each time, it translated them to, "Oh, baby, keep trying, you are this close to winning me over!"

On the bright side, you didn't get a restraining order!
