Today, I confessed to my coworker that I'm interested in her romantically. She turned me down, saying that I'm a great guy, but that she basically doesn't want mixed-race children. She said she isn't racist, though, so I guess it's all okay, right? FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I confessed my feelings to the girl I like, who also happens to be my coworker. She told my boss, and they're laughing about it as I type this. FML
Today, the coworker I have been hitting it off with rejected me. Apparently she has a crush on another male employee. An employee who is married and somehow has three other girls in our store actually fighting over him (I've heard arguments). She thinks she has a chance? FML
Today, I asked out a coworker I really like. She gave me a weird look and said, "You're not gay?" I said no, to which she said, "Well, I am". As it turns out, I was the only one who thought she was straight, and the only one who thought I was straight. FML
Today, I finally built up the courage to confess my love to the girl of my dreams. She turned me down. When I asked her about all the recent receptive behavior toward me, she replied, "I thought it'd be funny." FML
Today, I had no idea my mom was low key racist until I told her I was dating a black woman, and she told me that was fine, just as long as I didn’t do something silly like fall in love with her or let her distract me from finding a proper wife. Wow mom, just wow. 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
Today, I finally got the courage to talk to this coworker I like and ask her out for a coffee next door. She was dismissive, cold and rude, and filed a complaint with HR. FML
Today, I asked out the girl I really like. She turned me down, saying that she's a lesbian. That'd be fine, if I were a guy. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She said she wanted to stay just friends. Not only did I get denied, apparently we're also "just friends." FML
Today, the girl I work with, who I’ve developed feelings for, started dating another guy at work. She’d told me that she “doesn’t believe” in dating coworkers and she doesn’t “shit where she eats.” FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She's a little full of herself isn't she? Who the hell said you wanted to have kids with her anyway?

Meanwhile, the melting pot continues to melt, and her genes are kept out of it another day. So there's an upside to this.

We're all human. That's like a Siamese cat not wanting to hook up with a tabby because of the fur.

It's super cliché and annoying but... you dodged a bullet. And mixed race babies are beautiful!

I can confirm that. I have two beautiful mixed race kids ☺️

And, what's wrong with that? We're all entitled to our own preferences. Unless she was disrespectful, there's nothing wrong with that.

Preferences concern what we find attractive, not children we might or might not have. And even if it's a preference things, it's always kindest to say "I'm just not attracted to you".

I think he was referring to her preferences of children. Some people might not want children of mixed race and they're entitled to that opinion. Also, it isn't really racist if she doesn't want her children to look a certain way. They are, after all, her children

@#35- Good to see at least someone gets it. Nice of you to try to explain it to her, but she won't get it, no matter how hard you try. Our society today is unfortunately full of spineless hypocrites.

You can't choose how your children look, I get having a preference with who you date, but in terms of children, I think that is more tricky. Although I suppose you are correct in that you can partially determine their skin colour depending no who you sleep with.

That's a touchy one. She's certainly allowed to have a preference on who she dates without being racist, but the way she phrased the rejection was both presumptuous (OP may not have wanted kids) and racist.

Well he's interested in her romantically, which means they would get married if things went well and married people usually have kids....

At least she was honest OP, imagine her saying this after a couple of years.. better you know now!

You would be better without someone like that who is as shallow as her

It's called preference, not racism.

It's funny how everyone down votes me. I hope when you all turn down someone you find unattractive, all your friends blast you for having a preference.
FeferiZ 12
But she didn't turn him down because he unattractive she turned him down because of his race -_-

There's a difference between saying I prefer dating another race and saying I don't want to date you because you're not that race.

@#20- I feel your pain. I said something similar a bit before you, and I think my comment's the only one that's been buried so far. People don't understand that having a preference and racism aren't exactly the same thing. Having a preference is a natural thing EVERYONE has. Unfortunately, our society today is full of spineless hypocrites. No matter how hard you try to explain that, they'll never understand it.

I think it's because you keep adding in "spineless hypocrite". If you smell shit wherever you go, maybe it's you.
