Today, I, a vampire-pale girl, went on a blind date with a very dark-skinned young man. We got on like a house on fire, and everything was going smoothly until we leant in for the kiss. I was wearing makeup and no setting spray. He came away with half his face smudged snow white. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went on a blind date. My date turned out to be very hot, and I had high hopes. That is, until she ran her hand through her hair as she approached, sending some kind of horrifying, miasmic mist of dandruff and dead skin floating through the air behind her. FML
Today, I went on a blind date. Sadly, I wasn't blind enough. FML
Today, I went on a first date with my crush. Right before the date, I noticed a monstrous pimple in the middle of my forehead. I covered it with make-up, but it was still visible. The guy spent the whole evening laughing at me and telling me that I look like an unicorn. FML
Today, I went on a date with someone I really like. Halfway through dinner, I noticed my mascara was smudging, so I tried to discreetly wipe it off with my napkin. As I looked up, my date was staring at me with wide eyes. Apparently, I had smeared it all over my face and I looked like a raccoon. He didn’t even offer to help me fix it, just smirked. FML
Today, I went on a blind date at a coffee shop. I walked up to who I thought was him, smiled, and said, “Hey! You look even cuter in person!” He looked horrified. It wasn’t my date. My actual date witnessed the whole thing and ghosted me mid-latte. FML
Today, I got all dressed up to go on a date with a guy. Upon getting to my house to pick me up, he told me he'd forgot to put on mascara, and asked if he could borrow some. FML
Today, I was on my third date with this really cute girl. After a very romantic evening, I decided to go for the first kiss, but because of my nervous reflex in which I get bloody noses, I ended up bleeding all over her face. FML
Today, it was good fun getting a nice vampire make-up at my drama lesson. It would've been better if I hadn't forgotten my Demak'up. Even better if I could've avoided the crazy glances in the bus home. FML
Today, I rushed out of the bathroom with toothpaste smeared all over my chin and cheek. I was so anxious about going on a date that I didn’t realize this until said date pointed it out halfway through dinner. FML
Today, I went on a blind date. Everything was going great until I laughed so hard at one of his jokes that I snorted, choked on my drink, and accidentally slapped his face while trying to cover my mouth. We didn't order dessert. FML

This may be a sign of too much makeup.

For people wonder: OP is fair skinned (or maybe a vampire goth?) and wears pure white foundation. When they kissed, her foundation came off on his face, which since he was darker skinned cause it to be very obvious and jarring.

Setting spray doesn't make a difference anyway! Use a powder to set the makeup or just stop wearing so much of it... People love pale skin

Try not to stress about it too much! If everything goes well, it could be a funny first date story! To cheer you up, here's a couple things that happened with my current boyfriend of two years on our first date: We went to a dance and when we were walking there, he asked if I had a boyfriend. I said no, and I could have sworn he creepily responded "well you do now." That isn't what he said, but he still thinks I'm crazy for continuing to hang out with him for the rest of the night! After we had a nice time at the dance, we made out on his couch before I went home. He had some sharp stubble going on, so I had severe rugburn for the next two days on my nose and around my mouth. It was so embarrassing going to classes!! Hope that cheers you up OP :)

I don't get the point of wearing makup all over the face like that (foundation?) instead of just the eyes. If your skin is already pale white why do you need to paint over it? I didn't even know people needed to use a spray to make it stay. Sounds like a lot of hassle for something that looks worse that just wearing no or minimal makeup.

Because it evens out blotches in the skin tone.

The point of foundation is to make your whole face the same color. So if you have pimples or splotches or dark circles etc. It also creates a base for blush or toner or eye makeup.

Also just wearing foundation is kind of the definition of "minimal makeup." If someone is wearing any makeup at all, they probably have foundation on.

^What they said. It evens out the colour on your face. If I go somewhere with 'no makeup', I'm probably wearing powder and concealer

But why? It's not like most people care, and if they care about slight imperfections in your face then they're probably a dick.

as a fellow vampire-face I can tell you red spots are very common. I don't always feel comfortable with them, I look like a zombie with an itchy nose... and especially on a first date I wanna feel good!

Makeup doesn't have to be about what other people think. In fact most of the time it's about expressing yourself, or feeling good. Also, I don't think you are understanding how big of a difference just some foundation can make in how someone looks. I sometimes wear minimal makeup, and sometimes I don't wear any. On the days that I do, I feel much more confident and I like how I look.

Does this remind anyone of when Jaden Smith was dating Kylie Jenner?

No

It's the kind of story people tell at weddings and to grandchildren

"we got on like a house on fire" can someone tell me what this means
brezzyanna 17
"They get on" meaning they get along and connected, "like a house on fire" as in quickly.

Lol this happened to me with a guy I dated except the opposite he was very pale and I'm dark and my foundation would always rub off on him, turned his face orange haha

That's actually really cute. You guys should have a good sense of humor about it, really.
