Today, I agreed to help out my 4-year crush with his senior prank which is to pretend we are dating for one day to freak everyone out. Glad to know dating me is prank worthy. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my crush came up to me at a college party and said "I like you." I tried to be cool and said sarcastically, "Thank you. I like myself too. That was a wonderful prank." He was amazed, and asked me how I knew it was a prank. FML
Today, my crush confessed their love for me, and I happily told them that I felt the same way. They looked uncomfortable, so I asked why. Apparently they'd been paid to prank me. FML
Today, I pulled a prank on my friend by making a fake Tinder profile just to catfish him. All our friends came to make fun of him, only to realise that he'd stood me up. Turns out, never showing for first dates is his way of playing hard to get. Now everyone is laughing at me. FML
Today, I rejected my crush's prom proposal because I didn't think he was being serious and wanted to prank me or something. Turns out he was serious but now he's going with another girl. FML
Today, I had to help my best friend plan his upcoming date with the girl he doesn't know I'm secretly in love with. FML
Today, I called up the boy I like to ask him on a date. He said "Haha, thats a pretty good impression Chris. Next time pick someone less ugly and maybe I'd think this is real." He thought I was his friend prank calling him. FML
Today, a colleague told me he was pretending to be me on a dating site, and that he has four pending dates. Last time I tried being myself, my first and only date pushed me down some stairs. FML
Today, I got asked out for the first time in my life. During a prank call. By a complete stranger. FML
Today, a friend of mine came to my house with tears in her eyes. I thought she was finally single so I could ask her out. Actually, her mother found out she was dating a girl, so she wants me to be her fake boyfriend as a cover-up. At least we're "dating" now. FML
Today, my crush let me know that he has a prom date. Obviously I'm supportive because I just want him to be happy, even if it's not me. I casually let him know that I'm going with someone else too, and now he's really mad about it. If he'd asked me before, I would've said yes. Like… Hello? How dare I get a prom date! FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I can sympathize, OP, but you didn't have to agree.

That sounds like a really pathetic prank to me. I don't know why you helped him out to make yourself look like a laughing stock though!

You took the words right out of my mouth.

On the contrary. The guy could have used this as an opportunity/excuse to date OP. This could very well be the chance she was hoping for!

Did you miss the part where he said, "1 day" and "pretend"?

15 - It sounds like you're missing optimism.
garrett1999o3 16
Ok ok ok. I may of sounded like a jerk.(It sounded better in my head :P) Sorry if I offended anyone in the process. I really don't want to start one of those stupid arguements where everyone gets dislikes. Sometimes I just lose my optimisicality. :P
garrett1999o3 16
And I'm pretty sure I made that word up.

Although this must have been really horrible for you OP you should have more self respect than to agree to do something like this

You crushed on him for 4 years? YDI. Ask him out or move on.

Aren't senior pranks supposed to be memorable anyway? I can't imagine 30 years later "DO YOU REMEMBER THAT AWESOME SENIOR PRANK DONE BY _____ WHEN HE PRETENDED TO DATE THAT GIRL"

Why did you guys give those negative votes? All she was saying is that she liked the word, explained what he/she was trying to say, and she said she will be using the word cause she likes it so much? I give him/her thumb up!

Aw! I'm so sorry.

Honestly if its been a 4 year crush you might as well move on
Headcrab 29
Maybe you could tell him that you really liked it?

Weak.

Use it to your advantage and ask for a real date!

Exactly! Make him realize how great you are & what he's missing out on by not dating you.

She'd only be a laughing stock if he wanted to prank date her because she was really fat/ugly/whatever makes people unpopular lately. They could just be really good friends, the prank being that no one would expect it and it would be weird because they're so close and have known each other for years or something. OP wouldn't be a laughing stock then and, personally, I think the latter is a lot more likely here.

No I doubt it's because they're really good friends...OPs probably obese

The "prank" may be a ploy to have a date with OP. Maybe the OP's crush wanted to do it this way. It isn't very nice, but hey, look on the bright side.(I know that I'm most likely wrong, but there may still be hope!)
TheGreatCat 15
I'm terribly sorry, but why'd you agree to help?
ColdplaySucks 18
4 years huh? You waited that long for you to realize he wasn't interested in you?
revolution4ever 14
They could be close friends that tell each other everything which would make it seem like OP's crush is interested or at least more than just a normal friendship... Don't judge someone unless you know everything...

I have a crush that I can't let him know because he's taken. I can still look though.
therealslim 15
What is this? Crush confession corner?
Zebediabolical 45
32: So you can either wait for him to break up and maybe get your opportunity or find someone else to ask out and maybe have some fun and happiness yourself.
Mylifemaysuck 6
Har har har :)
revolution4ever 14
Maybe he secretly likes you and wants to see how everyone will react? I mean, there's gotta be a reason he picked you for the prank, right?
lilhellian 27
Could be Op would freak them out the most.
danial1214 21
Or she is really ugly....
challan 19
I would have created a dramatic scene at the end where I dumped him with claims of inadequacies in his pants and what looked to be herpes.
challan 19
Ha! Getting to know my personality through FML, I love it!
garrett1999o3 16
Well your OP name does have turd in it....
