Today, I thought I would be cute for my one year anniversary with my girlfriend, so I cooked a three course meal for her with candles and rose petals on the floor. She loved the dinner, except now she's passed out in a food coma upstairs while I'm left with the dishes. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I decided to surprise my girlfriend by cooking her dinner. I spent hours preparing and making sure everything was perfect. I lit candles, set the table, and even put on some soft music. When she came home, she'd already eaten and wasn't hungry. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend out for dinner to a fancy Italian restaurant for our one year anniversary. After giving her some roses, freshly baked cookies, and a thoughtful poem I wrote for her, she started laughing and asked for her real gift. FML
Today, I cooked a romantic dinner for my partner to celebrate our five year anniversary. I spent hours preparing a snazzy meal. Just as we sat down to eat, I realized I had forgotten to turn off the oven, and our dessert was now a charred lump of coal. We only realised this when the fire alarm in the kitchen went off. FML
Today, at my girlfriend's place, I cleaned up her room, put candles everywhere, scented the air, and placed rose petals all over her bed in an attempt to be romantic and loving. The first thing she said when she saw all this was, "Uhhhhgg, I'll have to clean all this up." FML
Today, it's my three month anniversary with my girlfriend and so I decided to bake her a cake from scratch. It took me three hours, a call to my mom, three different recipe books, and half my pantry. On the way to her house, I stopped to pick up flowers and left the cake in the car. It melted. FML
Today, I lit candles and scattered rose petals on the floor and on the furniture to surprise my girlfriend. When she came in, she sneezed uncontrollably because apparently she’s extremely allergic to these particular roses. The night ended with me driving her to the ER instead of dinner. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. Being a chef of a highly-rated restaurant, I cooked a well-liked dish. Not only did she say no, but commented on how bland and tasteless the meal was. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary. I had cooked him a romantic meal and we were planning on eating it in front of the fire. This would have gone great had I not forgotten to unblock the chimney. My entire basement filled with smoke and didn't clear for three hours. 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, being Valentine's Day, I went all out for my wife with flowers, a candlelit dinner, and tickets to a broadway show. The flowers arrived dead, the dinner sucked, and my wife hated the show. Afterwards, I tried to be intimate, but apparently I smelled like a shart trapped in a pant leg. FML

You're a good guy OP, I'm sure she'll thank you when she wakes up. Good things come to those who wait ;)

You did a good job! Whenever she comes out of it I'm sure there are plenty of things in store for you.

You're such a cute boyfriend! Your girlfriend is really lucky. I'm sure she'll make it up to you.

Go up and cuddle? :)

Cuddle?! She's likely to spew if you even touch her. She's in a food coma, after all.

You did the right thing. True love isn't an emotion, it's what you *do* that counts.

Your goal was to be cute, but you weren't. You were perfect.

haven't you learned that being a good guy doesn't get you laid?

So much stupidity in this tiny comment that I don't even know where to begin in formulating a witty response.
DippinGrizzly907 27
I don't think it's even possible to be witty after such a comment. I felt slower by just reading it... I have so much pity for your stupidity that I can't even be witty...

I mean, were you really going to do all that and then stick her with the dishes afterward? Focus on the fact that she enjoyed your gift! That sounds like everything went great.

They could have shared the dishes and continued spending time together, instead of her being inconsiderate.

If you lay the ground work and do the hard yards, your efforts will be greatly rewarded. All women love to be wined and dined, especially when it's their SO making everything from scratch & it's done from the heart.
