Today, I went on a coffee date with the man I've been in love with for a while. Before I knew what was going on, he'd started chatting up a pretty girl sitting nearby. I had to drink my coffee alone while he got her number. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went on a coffee date with a guy I'm interested in. He picked up his phone mid-date to finalize dinner plans with another girl. FML
Today, I finally went on a date with the girl I'm in love with. After dinner we went to the bar for drinks and things were going great. Right up until she went home with another guy. FML
Today, I went to my favorite coffee shop, ordered my usual, smiled at the barista I have a crush on, and confidently said, "You too!" when they told me to enjoy my drink. I have to find a new coffee shop. FML
Today, I had a coffee date. The guy was waiting with coffee to meet me on the patio. I walked up to him, caught my favorite pendant necklace on the table, broke the necklace trying to get it free, and rattled the table so intensely that the guy's coffee spilled all over him. FML
Today, I met my online date at a café. As soon as I walked in, I walked straight up to the wrong person, and launched into a 2-minute ramble about how excited I was to finally meet him. He just blinked and said, “I’m married.” My actual date was sitting right behind me, albeit a similar but not as good looking man. FML
Today, I went on a coffee date with a man I met online. His "friend" had tagged along. We were having a good conversation, until the friend pulls out his laptop and says, "So let me tell you a little bit about our travel business," and talked about a pyramid scheme for an hour. FML
Today, I'm a barista at Starbucks. When my crush walked in and asked how much his coffee would cost, I said a date. He said he'd rather pay for the coffee. FML
Today, I went to grab a coffee at a new café in town. While sipping my coffee, I noticed a man staring at me through the window. I thought he was browsing the menu before I looked up mid-sip to him staring at me in the eye, sucking on his finger. FML
Today, I went on a blind date at a coffee shop. I walked up to who I thought was him, smiled, and said, “Hey! You look even cuter in person!” He looked horrified. It wasn’t my date. My actual date witnessed the whole thing and ghosted me mid-latte. FML
Today, I went out for coffee with my sister and my crush. I spent the majority of the date flirting with my crush, and when he dropped us off at home, I told him I had fun on our date. He looked at me surprised and said he'd thought I'd tagged along on his date with my sister. FML

You didn't stand up for yourself? I'm not saying he has to like you back, but shit... he could at least be respectful.

Judging by how this all played out it was a "Coffee Date" by your standards. He probally just wanted to go out for coffee with a friend, unless he mentioned it for a date. Either way FYL fellow akward penguin.

Did he know it was a date or did he think it was just 2 friends hanging out? If you didn't make it clear it was a date YDI. If you made it clear the FYL.

And the friend zone claims another one yet again.

Maybe he didn't know how she felt. They could have very well just been going as friends, and she just had a secret crush. Not his fault for not assuming his friend loves him.

When your already nervous about something like trying to leave the best impression you can with a person you like its either gonna be really good or not good at all. This was one of those times where it didn't go well because OP couldn't take the conversation back it really sucks when it happens too! Kylee if you would've stood up and told the person to piss off kudos to you cause I probably wouldn't.

I could think better with comments I understand. What does Sh......t have to do with a valid observation? Right, she should have calmly removed herself from his presence (pedrotall)

I would've asked, "By the way, how is that herpes you got from those prostitutes you had sex with last night?" And the left

That's a quick diagnosis.

How incredibly immature of you to even propose that idea.

Did he know it was a date?

Even if he didn't know it was a date, it was a little rude to leave the person he was hanging out with to try to flirt with a stranger.

Maybe it was a little rude but not unacceptable to many friends. Think about it, if you're out with a mate, do you get enraged if he/she pauses to chat up someone? It's hanging out, not an escort/bodyguard service. If he didn't think they were on an actual date, I don't think he did anything wrong so long as he said "excuse me for a moment" before talking to the girl. OP, if you want a real date, ask him out on a real date. Use the word "date". If he is rude and inattentive on the real date, then you know a little more about your beloved, don't you?

you never know, he could have been setting up you all for a awesome threesome.

I swear in every FML that has anything to do with dating/romance, there's always that one person that's like "LOLOL THREESOME X-D!"

5 - So many things wrong with your sentence! It's hurting my brain D:

Seems like you could've warned this other girl somehow that he's low enough to ignore you on a date. I'm sure you could've convinced her not to give him her number.

After releasing the FML, it sounds like this was a very casual outing. I guess he's just not into you.

Would it make him any less of a selfish jerk if they was just friends having coffee? Who takes a friend to coffee to only isolate them entirely? Op I'd suggest redefining you're idea of love, doesn't sound you've spent enough time with him to know him very well. Unless his behaviour that day was out of character.

Wow if he knew it was actually a date then has my vote for douchebag of the day.

Its okay, he definitely isn't worth it if he wouldn't pay attention to you!
I_iz_B_a_troll 24
Well as long as you got a free coffee out of it I see no issues.. You should have gone up to the girl and bought her a drink, stole her away from him. Double cockblocked, and you could've made a new friend! :)

You shouldn't just have sat there and took it. He is obviously a waste of your time. you should have left before he noticed
