Today, while arriving to a date for the first time in a couple years, the first thing out of his mouth was, "I'm only dressed up because I had court today." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got to try on a stunning suit that made me the handsomest man in the world. Upcoming prom? No. Wedding? No. I attended a date... A court date. FML
Today, I went on a first date with a guy I met online. I arrived early and waited for him for over an hour. When he finally showed up, he was wearing the exact same outfit as me. FML
Today, I dressed up for a date. After waiting for hours, sending countless texts and voice mails to my date, and thinking I'd been stood up, I remembered my date is actually scheduled for tomorrow. FML
Today, I got all dressed up to go on a date with a guy. Upon getting to my house to pick me up, he told me he'd forgot to put on mascara, and asked if he could borrow some. FML
Today, I went on an excellent first date. After the 'end of the date kiss' came, "I suppose this is where I tell you that I'm married." FML
Today, I went on a first date with a guy I don't know very well. He told me to dress in formal attire, so I assumed he was taking me to a nice dinner. He took me to his brother's wedding, and introduced me as "The One" to his entire family. FML
Today, I had my first appearance in a court as an attorney. I called the prosecution the prostitution. FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend if I looked alright for our date. He said, "Honey, you look fine, just don't go out in public like that." FML
Today, I spent ages getting dressed up for a date I’ve been excited for. I even put on cologne for the first time in forever. When I arrived at the restaurant, I realized I had forgotten my wallet. I spent the entire meal pretending to be “really into the conversation” while internally panicking about how I was going to pay. It didn't end well. FML
Today, I had a date at a formal restaurant I'm well known at. My date showed up two and a half hours late with a jogging suit on, and then got mad at me for ordering, eating, and paying without him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What if he is a lawyer? They dress up for court to.
jerryj 27
He could also have been the judge! Wouldn't it be something to frolick those long locks?

Or perhaps he was supporting a friend or family member?

It could be ANY reason! No need to jump to conclusion!

Maybe it was jury duty!

Maybe the guy was really nervous. He might have been a little overdressed for the date so he felt the need to explain himself why, and I'm guessing he didn't mean for it to come out how it did lol. But maybe he was in court for a ticket or something, doesn't mean it was anything really bad.

They might have been meeting up for a quick afternoon coffee date and it would look quite odd if one of them showed up in a suit and tie

Ah, love at first sight! I mean what is more important in a relationship then honesty and court appeals? Lol

Well, dating did used to be called courting.
2i1337i2iscore 13
O, if only that were the meaning, for when when people said courting, these days. But endearing is not apart of people's rapport, apparently.

How many people out of high school or college in the past ~20 years even know the meaning of courting? If stopped on the street I'd be willing to bet at least 75% couldn't give a correct answer, and 50% of those would likely answer with something regarding the core system. SAD

Oh boo hoo the world is ending because you assume people don't know the meaning of a word.

Sometimes you gotta wonder if their statement is true, or if they've just been dared by a mate to say it!

What was he there for? There are tons of reasons for having a court date. Not all are bad. But he certainly did a terrible job of saying it. And yet you still can't blame him. As much fun as it may be to dress up for a date, ive heard it was a lot more fun to dress down for a date!

of course not are all bad. He could have gotten a speeding ticket. You should always dress up for court no matter what. However, the fact that he needed to say he didn't dress up for OP means that he didn't care enough for the date to dress up on his own account and also, he doesn't care about hurting OPs feelings. I'd probably feel embarrassed after that, especially if I had taken the time to pick an outfit. It's hard being with an inconsiderate person. So I'd suggest Op run.

You're completely right. The second part of my last comment was not serious. I think that both parties no matter what should always treat dates with respect. That other person is taking time out of their day to be with you. But you should also dress accordingly to the date. Don't wear dress up elegantly if you're going for coffee. And yes, the man was showing a complete lack of respect for OP. Most women I know will often wear high heels when dressing up. So in the case that OP was wearing high heels, then how does she run away? I've seen a lot of things, but a girl running with good form at their top speed in high heels is NOT one of them!

But who says they were at a fancy place that would require dressing up? Maybe they were in a casual setting.
gracehi 33
Please tell me he's a lawyer who loves casual clothes.

I don't know what physiological reaction can take place in a natural brain that can lead to such statements

Maybe he just won a lawsuit for 10 million and this is your lucky break.

Or you could look at the bad side and he is a serial killer.
