Today, I expressed my feelings to a guy I've liked for a long time. He basically turned me down because I have the same name as his mom, and dating me would be too weird. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
You dodged a bullet
Today, my boyfriend told me it wasn't working out and he was breaking up with me. The reason? I have the same first and last name as a very unpopular girl, and he gets embarrassed when people mistakenly assume he's going out with her. FML
Freudian slip
Today, my boyfriend called me by his mother's name for the 100th time. I'm a guy. FML
LOL AWKS
Today, I decided to finally tell my name to this really hot guy I had been anonymously chatting with for a couple of weeks. He said he would be fine with whoever I am, and want to go out with me. After sending my name, there was a long, awkward pause, and his last reply to me was, "Oh." FML
Today, I went on a first date with a guy I really like. He brought up that there was a person staring at us from a nearby table. That person was my mom. FML
Not you, her
Today, I told the guy I liked about my feelings, and he says, "Sorry I don’t like you, but can I get your sister's number?" FML
Commited
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, my boyfriend said that he doesn't have to marry me because we coincidentally have the same last name. FML
Today, I had a first date with a guy I met online. And his mom. FML
Today, I found out I was named after the woman my dad used to stalk when he was in high school. FML
His type
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. His mom stared at me throughout dinner before finally blurting out, "I'm sorry, I can't get past the fact that you look just like his ex!" It turns out I do. FML

He has a point..imagine him calling your name out in bed.

I don't see why it would be weird, unless he calls his mom by her first name.

That's stupid - it's not like he calls his mom by her first name (I assume). Although I can imagine his friends teasing him about it.

From a psychological point of view, it could be very uncomfortable for him. Yes, he probably does not call his mother by her first name, but imagine going to a family gathering with him and his aunt saying something like "Sandi (mother), can you pass the peas? So Sandy (you), are you and Richard thinking of having kids anytime soon?" The brain, especially when overthinking, can create some really messed up images. If you have liked him for a long time and didn't know about his mother's name being the same as yours, it's one thing, but it seems that you are more hurt about the rejection. It's a natural part of human nature-to be rejected and to be hurt by rejection. Better luck next time.

My brother and boyfriend have the same name. Works perfectly fine! My family and close friends call my boyfriend by his last name when it gets too complicated. On the other side, when I need them both I only have to say one name ;)

I feel like that's reasonable. Like my dad won't date anyone that has the same name as my sister and me.

i dated a guy who was 7yrs older than me and he dumped me because I reminded him too much of his little sister who was the same age as me, and shared my name. you have to admit that's weird.

She deserves to be rejected and feel bad because she happens to have the same name as his mother? If he doesn't want to date her that's his decision, but I wouldn't say that OP deserves it
