Today, I decided I didn't care about my pride, and so I asked this girl out in a text. After an hour of no response I asked again. Later I got a text saying, "I'm sorry, This is Emily's mom. Emily isn't here at the moment, but if I were you, I wouldn't ask again." I was rejected by her mom. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after telling a friend I was contemplating asking a girl to prom, my friend took my phone, told me to have some balls, and texted the girl asking her to prom. She said no, because I asked her over text instead of in person. She refuses to believe I didn't send the text. FML
Today, I texted the hottest girl in the school saying, "I really like you, we should date". She responded with a text saying, "Sorry, I'm not into you." I then got a text saying, "Sorry, my brother stole my phone, and answered, but still it's no". I got rejected twice. Once by a man. FML
Today, I was planning on asking out a girl I've been really close to for a few months now. I was with her when I got a forward text from my friend. It was from the girl and it said, "Noooo tell him not to ask me out I don't like him." I got rejected via a forwarded text before I could tell her how I felt. FML
Today, at 1am, the girl of my dreams that I've been trying for over three years to date, finally asked me out via SMS. Too bad I was asleep at the time. She now thinks I've rejected her, and will no longer speak to me. FML

Today, I got a text from a girl that I've had a crush on for a long time, asking me out to dinner. I agreed and went to the restaurant. Not long afterwards, I got text from her saying something had come up, so she couldn't make it. As I was walking back to my car, I saw her walk into the same restaurant with another guy. FML
Today, I finally got up the nerve to ask out my crush, only to find out that they're already in a committed relationship with my mom. FML
Today, I was trying to break up with my boyfriend over text. I was being really careful to phrase it nicely, and I hit send with a sigh of relief. Except I sent the text to my mom, who now keeps sending me unsolicited advice about my "love life" with an occasional "You go, girl!" FML
Today, I texted my friend’s mom, asking if she could send over my hoodie that I left at their house. Except I didn’t text her, I texted my ex’s mom, who said, “You should probably stop texting me. She’s engaged now.” FML

Your first mistake was asking a girl out by text message. Seriously, grow a pair and ask her out face-to-face.

yeah...asking someone out by text......do you have any balls at all? Because that's pretty much one of the most cowardly things you can do...

That wasn't her mom, and if it was, she just saw the text message and asked her mom to answer it because she didn't know how to reject you. Don't ask a girl out in a text.

That Wasn't Her Mom. Teenage Girls Are Just Mean.

1. You know what? She got your first text. The fact that she didn't answer it meant that a) she was busy, b) she really didn't want to. If it was b), then either she doesn't like you or she was totally unimpressed with your method of asking. Which would be totally fair, btw. A text???? Seriously?? 2. The fact that you sent another text right after the first one automatically says creep to most girls. It says that you have stalker tendencies and if you're already harrassing her about going out with you, it'll only get worse. Besides, nobody likes to be pestered. In the future, let people answer your calls, emails, and texts at their own speed. Sending them another one asking the very same thing is not going to speed up a positive answer - but you may very well get one like this! 3. It was not her mother. Dude. Get a clue.

Would everyone stop being a douche and stfu, you don't know anything about this kid. Maybe he's just starting the dating scene and doesn't know he should ask in person, or has a big fear of rejection... give him a break everyone makes mistakes and he's not a coward for trying at least he tried.

why on earth would you ask a girl out via text? thats the fast track to rejection. tell it to her face.

You already said "i don't care about my pride" so therefore it wasn't really injured in this situation, now was it? So, no FYL for you.
