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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went on two dates from a dating app. The first one said halfway through that we couldn't date because it would break his contract. The second one catfished me. This is why I have multiple dates in one day. They never end well. FML
Today, I discovered that the man I have been talking to on a dating site is actually my ex-boyfriend. He created a fake profile and made me fall for someone that doesn't exist. We got on better anonymously than we ever did in 3 years together. 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 went on an online date. I'd spent a while getting ready and making sure I looked good. When I arrived at the café, I saw my date and approached with a smile. He stood up, looked me over, and said, "Oh, I thought you were your profile picture’s friend." Then left. FML
Today, I went on a date with someone I've been talking to online for weeks. Unfortunately, it turns out they'd used old photos and misrepresented themselves, and I didn't find them attractive at all. Even I'm not that desperate. We ended up having an awkward dinner and I couldn't wait for it to be over. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy that I really like. At the last minute he informed me a friend would be tagging along. To keep his friend from being a third-wheel, I kept up a conversation, and managed to piss my date off. He thought I would be a better match for his friend. 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 made my way to a bar for a first date with a guy I had been talking to online. It turned out he was actually my ex-boyfriend in disguise, trying to get revenge for dumping him. FML
Today, I declared I was done with online dating after several disasters. My friend set me up with a friend of her husband's. Turns out he's one of the men who rejected me on the website. He laughed when he saw me and said, "Well, this is awkward" and left. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy I met online. It was going OK, until he started asking me if he should stick with the site until he finds the right person. I guess I know how he feels about me, at least. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think you were being a bit dramatic, OP; they were probably just testing your balance. That's one of the first things I do on dates in an effort to gauge the viability of well-balanced offspring. It's sort of romantic, really.

Just shows you should have given yourself another chance OP. Just because one person may have been messed up, doesn't mean there isn't anyone else out there! GL on your new dates!

It doesn't sound like you're upset that he did it, just that he got more dates than you. Take over and run with it.

Does no one else find it weird that the colleague was pretending to be OP on a dating site? kinda seems like catfishing but I'm assuming for a good reason...

I don't understand why op isn't upset either. The person is using your pictures without consent, probably to **** with people's emotions. I'd be pissed.

who said it was without consent?

Don't give up, try different dating sites maybe?

Well, they say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.

Well maybe the real you could go on the dates and the people will like you OP! Don't give up hope. There's someone out there for you.

Sounds like you're fighting an up-stairs battle.

I hope your colleague isn't a serial date rapist looking for a new cover...

Why is nobody creeped out by the coworker pretending to be her on dating sites? That's a major red flag for weirdness!

Yeah - the colleague is pretending to be someone they are not - AND possibly using OP's pictures and stuff without their consent - it is very wrong

Hopefully OP is male, because a guy being pretending to be a girl is worse.

I'm guessing you didn't "fall" in love, sorry op!

well, if he is pretending to be you then it will backfire in his face. also, where does it say gender? the OP could be male, but everyone is presuming that OP is female. also, I would point out that all of his dates are 'pending' where you actually had one
