Today, after telling a friend I was contemplating asking a girl to prom, my friend took my phone, told me to have some balls, and texted the girl asking her to prom. She said no, because I asked her over text instead of in person. She refuses to believe I didn't send the text. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was planning on asking out a girl I've been really close to for a few months now. I was with her when I got a forward text from my friend. It was from the girl and it said, "Noooo tell him not to ask me out I don't like him." I got rejected via a forwarded text before I could tell her how I felt. FML
Today, I asked my girlfriend to prom. Instead of saying yes, she broke up with me. FML
Today, I asked a girl to prom by having 5 friends hold up signs saying "P-R-O-M-?" while I snuck up behind her. She said yes... to my friend holding the "?", who she thought was the one asking her. FML
Today, I had an elaborate plan to ask this girl to Prom, and it was going to take a few minutes to set up. I asked my friend to distract her. He decided to distract her by asking her to Prom. She said "Yes". FML
Today, I asked a short girl to prom by making a "You must be this tall to say no" sign. She grabbed a chair, stood on it, and then said no. FML
Today, I decided I didn't care about my pride, and so I asked this girl out in a text. After an hour of no response I asked again. Later I got a text saying, "I'm sorry, This is Emily's mom. Emily isn't here at the moment, but if I were you, I wouldn't ask again." I was rejected by her mom. 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, after weeks of my crazy girlfriend avoiding me because she knew I wanted to break up with her, I had no option but to do it by text. She told all my friends, who now think I'm a coward who isn't man enough to break up in person. They didn't even ask for my side of the story. FML
Today, I went to visit my Grandmother, accidentally leaving my phone home during the weekend. When I got back I had 2 texts from my crush. One saying "I want to take the most beautiful girl to prom, go with me?" and the other saying, "Fine fattie, I'll ask someone else." FML
Today, I didn't have the courage to tell the guy who likes me that I only thought of him as a friend, so I asked my best friend to do it for me. It turns out that her way of doing this is telling him to "Fuck off" and then punching him in the face. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If she really wanted to go with you she wouldn't have cared how you asked. Sounds like just an excuse not to go with you.

Did you explain over text as well or in person? Maybe you should contact her face to face, with friend in tow so friend can confirm the story and apologize like a big boy, and ask her to prom again.

Ur life sucks but YDI. Never tell your friends anything about prom.

I was just giving my personal opinion #2

Hey you both were :) I agree with #2 but this site is full of personal opinions :) We can agree to disagree. I don't think #2 was attaking you, just arguing against the beliefs. On another unrelated note did you know snails have five arseholes? On another unrelated note, giving someone a bizarre fact can sometimes help diffuse conflict - or can it?

#12 yeah. I know what i said sounded harsh, but i only meant it as a joke. But i forgot what you type doesn't always sound as you planned it.

haha well when I read it THAT way - yeah I agree! :D Seriously things do sound different online. My Mum always writes her emails to me really curtly like she is super angry at me or something, but in real life she is lovely.

That's exactly what OP has to do and this will work, until their crush is a paranoid scrub and thinks that they involved their friend in a love story, which, hopefully, will not happen...

Ehh, I've had girls ask me out and I wait for them to do it in person. No balls is a bad sign.

#17 Yes, but in this case the OP didn't have "no balls," as you say. He probably wanted to ask the girl in person, but his friend just went and did it for him through text, without permission. Also, at least you gave those girls the option of asking you out in person after they did it through text. This girl just didn't even give OP a chance, asking through text isn't like this big, terrible, offence, and that is suspicious and, as #4 said, sounds like she's just making excuses not to go with him.

I took a girl from a different school, totally avoiding this possible issue, but I asked her over text and she was happy to go, so it's probably an excuse

Just because one girl was okay with it doesn't mean every girl would be okay with being asked to prom over text. I wouldn't be. I would feel like the person took the easy way out instead of making an effort. But that's just me.

easy way out of what? it's prom not a marriage proposal.
heroqucas 25
Exactly, and prom really isn't the biggest deal. Yes I went with someone, but I could of lived the rest of my life without it. I feel like girls especially make too much of it.

You sound like a bitch. If you really want to go with someone it's not a big deal if they ask over text or in person, I mean stfu spoiled brat, I never even got to go so pull that stick out of your ass!
Xandrick 22
Make him explain to her that it was him, since he was the one who ruined your chance there. And do that in person. Drag him to her by the hair if necessary.

Grow some balls. Asking a girl out for prom is a smallest hurtle you have to leap. And honestly, talk to her face to face and tell her that it wasnt you, not over text (cause I assume thats what you did)

Did you even read the original post or are you just being a bitch to be a bitch?

Dude l, if she's being extra, allow her. There are no rules for asking people out on prom and how are you to know she wanted to be asked face to face. Just turn up on prom with someone else

Talk to the girls. They'll help you get dates if you just have the balls to talk to them. Ask them to show you how to dance. They will love that. Talk to them about almost anything. Some will dis you. Those some are the losers. Most will be friends and will love the hell out of you. Just talk to them.

To be fair, "my friend did it" is the oldest excuse in the book, but I'm not sure I'd want to go to prom anyways with someone who accuses me of lying over something as little as this.

That is an old excuse, but even if he sent the text and is lying about the friend doing it, that tells her that he wants a do over and really wants to take her so either way, it shouldn't be a big deal.

Sorry, but if she wanted to go with you at all, she would be happy about the invitation. And she would be even more happy that you took time to explain the situation. Bottom line is that she doesn't want to go with you. Sorry.
