Today, being a music student, a professional orchestra performed a symphony that I wrote and dedicated to my girlfriend. It took months to compose and it the first and only time it was ever going to be played. My girlfriend forgot to come. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I sang a romantic song I wrote for my girlfriend. She laughed at my soprano. FML
Today, after spending months learning how to play the guitar and memorizing the music to my girlfriend's all-time favorite song, I performed it for her. Her response? "Well, you kind of ruined that song for me now." FML
Today, after practicing a song for my girlfriend on guitar all day, I called her over to my house to show it to her. After a long speech about how "this is for you," I played for about 3 seconds before I broke a string, which slapped her in her face. FML
Today, I had my last orchestra concert and had a large solo. My dad came to watch and record it; however, the whole time he recorded another girl, thinking it was me. FML
Today, after an argument with my pianist girlfriend about how bad my favourite song would sound on the piano, she stormed out of the room crying, leaving behind a CD. It was the piano version of the song she'd made for me. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend at the museum where we met, with a violinist playing her favourite song. She said yes but later said she felt put on the spot in public, and if I’d proposed in private, she probably would've said no. I’m in my feelings trying not to cry right now. FML
Today, after I'd told this girl I’m seeing that I play piano to impress her, it turns out her father is a pianist and has a grand piano in their house. Tonight, I’m supposed to go to her place to play her my "favorite piece." FML
Today, I was with my girlfriend and she was making me listen to one of her recordings for chorus. As I was listening to it, a solo came on, and i turned to her and said, "This is the worst fucking solo I've ever heard in my life." Little did I know, it was her solo. FML
Today, I wrote my girlfriend a song. She wrote me a 13-page letter on why we should break up. FML
Today, I was at a very important music competition. When we'd rehearsed the song in question, the conductor said we were to repeat the last four bars of the song three times. As I went to play the third time, the whole orchestra stopped playing. I kept playing by accident and we came in third because of my mistake. FML

Because, evidently, all people trained in classical composition are homosexual. Let me guess, your knowledge about music is limited to what you hear on top 40?

What a lot of people seem to forget is the EFFORT you put into this. Regardless of anyone's views on this genre of music, most women should appreciate the sheer amount of time. It's the thought that counts, right? Cliche, but in this case, true. That was f'ing romantic of you to do that...but without knowing the reason why she didn't come it makes it harder to pass judgment.

A guy dedicated a piece he wrote to his girlfriend- me. The only problem was that I wasn't his girlfriend and never wanted to date him. I walked out when he performed it. Maybe the "girlfriend" had the same problem.

I don't see why it would be the only time it would be performed unless it were not any good.

Its unlikely to be repeated unless he becomes famous. Orchestras are big so you would need to bring lots of people together to play it again.

there are those one-time orchestra performances that as the names suggests, only perform once..

What a bitch. Even if you didn't make it clear that it's for her, she should still come see it. If I composed a symphony, it wouldn't matter if it's for my pet rock, my girlfriend had better come hear it if she wants to avoid being an ex. She obviously doesn't appreciate you, so I say you dump her. Find a girl who went to the performance and just tell her you wrote the symphony for "the concept of love." That will get you laid.

You need to knock up an older chick who's forced to pretend she likes what you do, it's your only hope..Kind of similar to the new Jenna Elfman tv show Accident on Purpose thats on tonight
