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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, my boyfriend called me by his mother's name for the 100th time. I'm a guy. FML
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
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
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
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

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

That's like an unspoken rule for guys; never date a girl with same name as your sister or mother

Call you by your middle name? That could work

I've had this problem before. Nicknames saved the day.

It would be weird. I went on a few dates with a guy that had my fathers name. It felt pretty awkward for me when things between us got um... Heated.

My husband has the same name as my dad and it is not weird at all. It was for like a week. But unless you call your dad by his first name it doesn't really matter. I have never once thought of my dad when I said my husbands name to him or others. They are two different people.

He has a point. He's right. It is weird. U wouldn't know. U're a girl.

This happened to me once. Dated a girl with the same name as my mom. Only it was even more weird for me since I have the same name as my dad.

I just got married, my mother in law and I share the same first and last name.

My ex-husband's sister had the same name as me (but spelled differently). We just thought it was hilarious; and at least you know if you marry him his last name will sound OK with your first name :P
