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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

What an asshat... Glad you know now what kind of guy he is... Move on!

**** that shit. I would have left. Just be glad you found out what he is so early on. At best, completely socially inept and clueless. At worst, plain disrespectful and rude.

How can you love him if from what I presume you have never even been with him? This is one thing that really bugs me about people on FML.

So you have to be someone's SO before you can love them? No you don't. You have to know them, but you don't have to actually be with them in a relationship.

You do need to have some sort of relationship before you can say it's love. Friendship is also a relationship. OP made it sound like this was the first time they had ever spent time together in which case, no, I highly doubt it's love. If you know someone tangenitally or from brief interactions at work or school, it's a crush. You're building a person in your head that may be far from the actual personality. Lust does not equal love.

did he even say it was a date? or was it more like casual coffee? If he said it was a date, that's rude and you should have left. If you assumed it was a date, you might want to make it clear next time that it's a date.

Oddly enough, I owe my marriage to a date similar to this one. The night I met my husband, I was hanging out with his brothers (who I met a few years prior to this). He had just gotten back from a bad date during which the girl spent most of the night talking to other men; when she got back to the bar, she laid her head down. My husband asked her "Wow, you seem tired. Need a pillow?", and then she slapped him. He then came by the house, met me, and we lived happily ever after. :)

Haha awwww! This is cute! (: see, hang in there OP. This could be a blessing in disguise.

That's so sweet, you being there to uplift his evening. :) The slap seems way out of line, unless there's an insinuation I'm missing :p

Today is your day to thank whatever Deity you hold sacred that your rebound romance has worked so far. As I know, my rebound kicked me in the head.(8 year fiasco) good luck

I wonder how you define being "in love." If you can't be honest with him then I wouldn't define it as love. More like wishful thinking IMHO.

I would of made a scene at least he would respect you if you slapped his face.

You should of thrown your hot coffee in his lap and said "I just read on the Internet that it is a proven remedy for herpes, anything is worth a shot." and walked away.
