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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

can't be to mad at him, it would be really weird to date someone with the same name as your mom. My buddy dates a girl with the same name as his sister and I always give him shit for it. Idk how ppl can do that it's just so strange to me

that really sucks op, unfortunately I can kind of see what he's getting at. my sister in law is married to a guy with the same name as my husband, before that she dated someone with the sane name, and before that she had a huge crush on a different guy with the same name..... it's more then a little creepy.

I'm in your same position, except I haven't asked her out yet, as my name is Matt, and her dad's name is Matt, as well as her brother, Matt Jr. FML.

I call my dad by his first name a lot. he and my husband are both called paul. the only time it gets confusing is when I have family over and shout to one of them and the other answers
