Today, after what I thought was several weeks of flirting with a coworker, I asked her out on a date. She asked if it could be a double date, and I said yes. I brought a friend, she brought her husband. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after a year and half of being single, I was asked out on a date. I was asked by a married man. FML
Today, I finally got the courage to ask my best friend to go on a date with me. She assumed I meant a double date and squealed, "Who's the lucky guy?!" She thought I was her gay best friend for the past year. FML
Today, a coworker invited me out for a date, totally out of the blue. I had no idea she liked me, but I did my best to impress. She ordered the most expensive steak on the menu, two bottles of wine, and eventually picked up and went home with our waiter. I got the bill. FML
Today, I finally mustered up the guts to ask this girl I like to dinner and a movie. She agreed on the terms that she could bring someone, and I'd said it wouldn't be a problem. When I met up with her a few hours later, I found out she'd brought her boyfriend. FML
Today, I went on a date. I took her out to an expensive steak house. When she was done eating, she got up, said she was married, and told me she only accepted the date because I'd be paying for it. FML
Today, the girl I like asked me to take over her shift at the place we both work at. Being nice, I readily took over. Later, I found out she went on a date with my best friend. He knows I like her. FML
Today, I worked up the courage to ask my crush out for coffee after work. She agreed and I confidently said, "Alright, it's a date!" She replied, "Haha, a date with you? I'm just going for the free coffee!" FML
Today, I went to a social event with a very attractive male co-worker. Things were going awesome, we were flirting and really hitting it off. Then his 'wife' called. FML
Today, I asked out this girl at work who I've had a crush on for a while. She looked oddly familiar, aside from the fact that we worked together. It was almost like we'd met outside of work. Two hours and one Snapchat story later, I realized I'd asked out my best friend's girlfriend. FML
Today, my coworker began flirting with the new guy at work and accepted a date with him. I’ve been trying to get with her for months and she'd told me, “Sorry, I don’t fraternize with colleagues.” I called her out on it and she told me, “OK, I’ll spell it out for you: I do fraternize with attractive colleagues.” FML

If she wears a wedding ring, then this is absolutely entirely your fault.

She could've just said she was married. Instead of humiliating him.

So it's her fault for getting hit on at work?! She doesn't need to wear a ring to prove she is unavailable. Especially at work. "What I thought was flirting" was probably just her being nice.

She doesn't need to wear a ring, but she's an adult and can use her adult words to say, "Hey I'm married by the way, you know that right?" It's pretty hard to misconstrue 'lets go on a date' with just being friendly if she didn't know he was flirting.

would you like bubble wrap? chill the **** out, flirting is totally okay. if it makes YOU uncomfortable, thats on YOU to say something. (note: flirting is not equal to cat calls or harassment)

Way to blame him. I agree with the other comments that say there is no way show didn't know he was actually asking her out. And I'm sure the flirting was obvious too. Burr rather than be an adult about it and say "hey I don't like you're advances", or "I'm married but thanks for the thought" she chose to basically humiliate him. It's pretty messed up honestly. But hey she was obviously just being nice right

If you understood "double date" meant YOU bring your own date, then you understood she wasn't available as YOUR date. I think you're purposefully leaving a significant piece of the story out.

Where does it say he brought his own date? It reads to me like he brought a friend (presumably male) assuming she was bringing a friend of her own to complete the double date.

Yikes, that's a hell of a miscommunication

I'm genuinely confused how you can go that long flirting without actually asking if she's single. I mean, that really just sounds like you didn't care if she was ACTUALLY single or not because you were flirting with her and thus she MUST be single.

For those of you saying/thinking that the OP is at complete fault that he didn't know that the woman was married, let alone see the ring, think twice. Because MY parents don't wear wedding rings. It's not the rings that represents a marriage, but being actually married that represents the marriage. So it's a good possibility that this woman wasn't even wearing a wedding ring. Second, OP, as much as it sucks for you, maybe you could have started it all off with, "Are you seeing someone?" or "You don't happen to be in a relationship currently, are you?" before asking her out to be sure. Because that for one could have saved a lot of time, TBH, instead of going through the embarrassment. Because I would personally like to be asked just in case if I were to be in the situation - Doesn't matter whether I'm in a relationship or not. I personally like to see that the guys are actually taking extra precautionary measures. And also because that's what I do with guys if I ever end up wanting to go out on a date with them.

All the time you guys were flirting, you never asked her if she was seeing someone?

I feel like we need more information here, because it sounds like a situation where OP just kept persisting at trying to hit on her, and she finally figured this would get him to stop. Some guys will not take no for an answer, unless you can " prove" to their satisfaction that you're already taken.

Yeah sure we don't know everything but we also can't assume he is one of those jerks that don't take no as an answer either. True many people are oblivious to flirting but weeks of it. I don't buy her not knowing he was into her.
