Today, I accidentally stood up my first date ever. How? I spent all of last night cleaning my parents' house for extra spending money to make sure the date went perfect, but I ended up sleeping through the alarm as well. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I spent three hours cleaning my apartment for a date. I then took a nap, only to wake up to find my cat had destroyed the place. Lucky for me, my date never showed up, and I ended the evening drinking Prosecco while sadly swiping through Tinder. FML
Today, while on a first date, I had to excuse myself to the restroom. I was still tired from pulling an all-nighter, and fell asleep on the toilet. When I woke up and rushed back out, my date was gone. Everyone now thinks I'm an arsehole who pulled the old "window escape" trick on her. FML
Today, I woke up very excited because I was going on my first date with this guy I really liked. I dressed very nicely and went to where we were supposed to meet. I waited for about 2 hours. I called him to ask him where he was. He got angry because he was still sleeping and I woke him up. FML
Today, I accidentally slept in two hours later than I was supposed to. Today is my wedding day. FML
Today, I dressed up for a date. After waiting for hours, sending countless texts and voice mails to my date, and thinking I'd been stood up, I remembered my date is actually scheduled for tomorrow. FML
Today, I spent ages getting dressed up for a date I’ve been excited for. I even put on cologne for the first time in forever. When I arrived at the restaurant, I realized I had forgotten my wallet. I spent the entire meal pretending to be “really into the conversation” while internally panicking about how I was going to pay. It didn't end well. FML
Today, I went to bed early, feeling responsible. At 2 a.m., I woke up in a panic because I forgot to set my alarm. While fixing it, I actually turned it off completely. I overslept, missed work, and proved once again that I should never trust myself. FML
Today, I went on a date with someone I'd met online. Everything was going surprisingly well, until I knocked over my drink, spilling it all over my date's lap. In a panic, I blurted out, "Dude, did you piss yourself?" Needless to say, there will be no second date. 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 decided to clean my room, find a job, and ask a girl on a date. I ended up playing video games online instead. FML

Maybe if you explain it and schedule another one she'll understand? That's happened to me before

Well you're ******. Your life is over. Might as well get a few cats now and call it a day.

Explain what happened and reschedule. Here's a hint, a few flowers can go a long way in showing a girl you care. Just don't break out the roses until several dates in, unless it's just one rose.

I always set at least three alarms because I'm worried that something like this will happen

Same. I'm a heavy sleeper so I used to have 5 alarms set but now I'm stuck sharing a room with my sister and she wanted me to have less alarms so now I cans only have 2.

Hopefully your date will understand and agree to another date. If it goes well you both can look back on this and laugh. If your date does not agree to another date, or if it goes badly, don't worry, it is only the first of many dates... Some wonderful, and some not so wonderful.

Did you have a date early in the morning?

I'm sure if you explain and apologize they'll be happy to reschedule OP. Putting that much work into getting ready for a date is very admirable. And if they aren't understanding, then cut your losses and move on. That's not someone who you'd want to be with anyway.

After all that work, no doubt you would be tired. At least you had good intentions!

I hope the person was understanding about the situation, and if not then maybe you possibly dodged a bullet?

Wait. You get paid to clean the house that you presumably live in?
