Today, I asked a girl what time she'd like me to pick her up for our date tonight. She didn't know what I was talking about. It seems like, after months of sweaty palms, nervous smiles, and awkward sentences, I only dreamed she said yes to going out. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I worked up the courage to ask someone out after months of debating it. She smiled, said yes, and asked what time. I got so nervous that I gave her the time I start work instead of our reservation. We both showed up to completely different places and spent twenty minutes wondering why the other had ghosted us.

Today, I finally went on a date with a girl I've been talking to for 2 years. She is my dream girl, picture perfect and I love her with all my heart. So I asked her, half jokingly, if I was her dream guy. Her reply? "Don't ask me something you don't want to hear the answer of." FML
Today, I asked the girl I am in love with out on a date. She asked me for my name. FML

Today, I decided to talk to a girl at the gym I had seen there a lot. I walked up to her at the station she was at and asked her out to dinner sometime. I didn't realize she had been wearing headphones. She took them off and asked if I was waiting on the station. My courage left. I said yes. FML

Today, the girl I've had a crush on for a year finally said she'd go out with me. On the way over to pick her up, she called me and said she couldn't go because she was going out to dinner with her ex-boyfriend to talk things over. She asked if she could use the reservations I had made. FML

How could you not tell the difference between a dream and reality? Super awkward, yes, but I don't understand how you could mix that up so thoroughly.

I'm so sorry OP. I frequently have dreams similar to this where I dream of things happening to me that actually did not in a very realistic / convincing setting. Then I'm stuck with thoughts on if things have happened or not. Luckily I'm usually able to rule out the truth but I'm still super fearful of this kind of situation happening. I can't imagine how you must feel. I hope everything works out smoothly and that maybe this will turn out as a really funny story about how you guys ended up going out on your first date together. Best of luck OP!

So your palms were sweaty? Were your knees weak and arms heavy? Was there vomit on your sweater which consisted of your mom's spaghetti?

Is he nervous? How does he look on the surface?

Did Inception teach you nothing, OP?! This is why I carry a totem with me at all times! Seconds before asking somebody out, I always take out my small metal totem, fondle it slightly while squinting my eyes, and attempt to determine wether or not I'm dreaming. Because of this, I've yet to have a single person go out with me, but at least I know they rejected me in reality…
