Today, a cute girl was walking towards me. She held up her hand for a high five, so I also did the same. I hadn't noticed her friend behind me, and was left hanging and embarrassed. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was walking down the hallway at work when I saw a coworker I hadn't talked to in a while. I went for a high-five as a friendly greeting, but she didn’t see me coming and instead awkwardly grabbed my hand like she was about to hold it. We both froze for a second, and then awkwardly sighed and practically ran away. FML
Today, I was at a local restaurant. The girl that I like walked by so I tried to give her a high five. My hand ended up on her boob instead. FML
Today, I saw my ex and his new girlfriend walking towards me. To make things less awkward, I tried to be cool and give him a high five. He misjudged and went for a fist bump. I ended up slapping his hand, and it felt like it lasted forever, all while she just smirked at me. FML
Today, I was approached by the head cheerleader, and she asked for my number. I was so excited that I gave it to her without question. Then she smiled, and walked away. Too bad my girlfriend was right behind me when it happened. FML
Today, I was at a volleyball game talking with my friends when a girl who is in my team arrived. She was greeting someone else but I thought that she was saying hi to me. However, I'd already waved back at her. All my friends and others noticed the situation and as a result they laughed at me. FML
Today, I had a meeting with my team, and at the end, we were all excited about a new project. I tried to be casual and give one of my coworkers a high-five, but he didn’t see me and started walking away. I awkwardly high-fived myself while hoping anyone else didn't see me either. FML
Today, I went out to lunch with two old friends from high school. While at the restaurant, we saw a girl who we graduated with. The girl gave both of them hugs, then introduced herself to me. FML
Today, I went shopping with my cousin. Walking down the road, I heard her say "Can you hold my hand?" I was confused, but thought it was cute, so I held her hand and kept walking. It turns out she'd asked me to hold her bag. We didn't say another word after that. FML
Today, I finally gathered up the guts to say hi to the girl I like. As I was walking down the hallway, I saw her and waved hello, only to walk into a bathroom door. FML
Today, I was at a store when I saw a cute girl from my school. Trying to act cool, I went to hold the door for her. Too bad it was an automatic door. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Rule number 39: never give a brofive to some one that's not a bro. If you only followed the rules you wouldn't have embarrassed your self

You can always self-five if you really need to
zombiegold 23
Once I self-fived myself, my classmate walked up to me and said,"I would not want to be you when I grow up."

Op, at least she wasn't just blocking the sun from her eyes... That would have been more awkward.

Alright obviously the only thing that will fix this situation is by giving me money. You can trust me, it's not like I'm an addict or anything...

It reminds me of my father when ever we walk around a mall and he notices a group of girls smiling at me he would make this farting noise as we passed by then jump up and be like wtf was that?!? While giving me a dirty look we laugh about it after tho.

It's just like liking your own Facebook status!

#6.. my thoughts exactly :)

Why would liking your own Facebook status change anything? It's not like your self-esteem is based on the amount of likes on your status
docscientist 10
I like my own status because I'll read it later and agree with the statement.

No, YOU are suppose to be behind the friend. Now you have a set up for a kinky threesome.

Pretty sure that's happened to almost everyone.

Yep! You know that other embarrassing moment when someone looks at you and says "Hey!" very enthusiastically and you reply just as enthusiastically back, only to realize it was someone next to/behind you? Yea, that literally happened to me yesterday. Makes me feel like a dork! LOL

20-I remember a time when a cool kid at my school said hi to me. I was going to give him a fist-bump, but turns out he was talking on the phone. It was an exceptionally awkward moment, but we laughed about it later. I feel bad for OP, but I hope he gets the high-five later.
MrsPegg 45
Brightside: Well, at least you and the "cool kid" (labels are so ridiculous to me now) eventually laughed it off! Mine was a total stranger! :)

I've seen my friend's boyfriend end up awkwardly fixing his hair after waving and failing to get her attention. And on another occasion, this same friend was making hand movements similar to waving. A random guy returned the "wave". My friend sure brings out the awkward penguin in everyone.

wow, high five your face!

Some random girl? In public? Idk... Id have to say ydi

11-How did OP deserve it? He thought he saw a cute girl giving him a high-five. How would you have responded in that situation. I know I would've done the same thing as OP to be polite.

Thats why im a little iffy.. Its completly situational i guess; who was looking where, who was walking where etc And i never had a stranger high five me. Aquantances yes, strangers no.

Why would you high five a girl? If a girl talks to me she gets a hug or a kiss on the cheek. I never would high five a hot girl
Jordan740 6
100- This must be why no girls talk to you

100-she was the one that held up her hand for the high five
