Today, I finally got the courage to approach a girl. I've never done anything like this before. She stared me down, not saying a word, until I felt so little that I just walked away. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finally gathered up the guts to say hi to the girl I like. As I was walking down the hallway, I saw her and waved hello, only to walk into a bathroom door. FML
Today, I finally got the courage to ask out a girl I've had a crush on for months now. She told me I was very cute and then walked off. I still don't have an answer. FML
Today, I decided to talk to a girl at the gym I had seen there a lot. I walked up to her at the station she was at and asked her out to dinner sometime. I didn't realize she had been wearing headphones. She took them off and asked if I was waiting on the station. My courage left. I said yes. FML
Today, I finally worked up the courage to write a girl a note, with my number on it, and the words: "You're stunning. Get in touch sometime." Heart pounding, I saw her, got up, and passed her the note. Then I passed out at her feet. FML
Today, I finally worked up the nerve to talk to the girl I like. After awkwardly saying hi, I manage to work up a nice conversation with her. I thought everything was going well, until I got home and realized that she had stolen money out of my wallet. FML
Today, it was my first time at the club. I saw a really cute girl. I finally worked up the courage to ask her to dance. Before I even got within five feet of her, she looked me in the eyes and vehemently shook her head. I did a 180. My friends saw everything. They are still laughing. FML
Today, I approached the girl I like, hoping to ask her out. Just as I strode up to her, she excused herself as quickly as she could. I then realized I'd forgotten to zip up my pants after going to the bathroom minutes before. FML
Today, I finally mustered up the courage to send a message to the girl I've been crushing on for years. I'm now blocked. FML
Today, I built up the courage to approach my gym crush. I walked over, smiled, and said, "You smell amazing." I meant to say he looked amazing. He faintly smiled, then slowly went back to the rowing machines without saying a word. FML
Today, I finally worked up the courage to ask out the girl I like. After nervously fumbling through my words, I asked, "Want to grab a cup of water sometime?" She looked at me confused, then asked if I meant coffee. FML

Why would you expect her to say something? You walked up to her.

I don't think any of you understand what staring down means. She wasn't looking at him with her head cocked to the side, big round eyes peering innocently out from behind golden curls. If she was staring him down, she knew why he was there, and she wanted him to know how deeply she despised him for trying. I feel for you, OP.

Show some backbone next time. Kinda sad that you lose confidence just because a girl is looking at you.

"Here comes the 'creeper,'... he's up.... he's wide left... aww, **** the stunted lil man. God, such pity..." Not. Grow up man. Live. Experience. Gain some confidence. Without it you'll never be anything. Play some sports along the way, it'll help, I promise. Thank you sir, may I have another?

Lol you failed epicly... But I gotta know something, if you were so close why would you look like a complete retard by walking away, it makes you look stupid and she probably knew what you were going to ask anyway...I say give up on her because you looked pretty damn sad back there. Find an ugly girl and set the bar low, then you will get confidence!!! Problem solved!!

So maybe she was being a bitch and "staring him down," but I'm going with the much likelier scenario that the girl was just really confused by some random dude walking up to her and just standing there. It was probably a confused look. I mean, look at the evidence we have here. With sentences like, "I finally got the courage to approach a girl," and "I've never done anything like this before," I'm willing to bet this kid is just a bit emotionally stunted. And he was probably feeling really nervous and vulnerable, so he was more likely to take her "confused look" as her "staring him down." Besides, do we really want to take this poor guy's word on someone else's body language? He probably doesn't have too much experience with that either, honestly. :/

This is a depressing FML o.o

I agree. It's hard to top an FML like this... Hope this is coming from a 12 year old, rather than a grown (or not so grown) man.

#3 I've seen much more depressing FMLs than this. You know the ones where wives cheat on their husbands several times and the husband barely seems to care, that is the stuff you should find depressing. It's amazing how people these days don't really see the REAL faults in people, such as ignorance, instead of petty stuff like lack of self-confidence.

that was my thought. Girls like guys with confidence. You sir, are someone destined to be alone until you grow some balls and a backbone.

I think in this case you let your nerves get the best of you. I'm sure she wasn't staring you down evilly, you're just insecure and perceived it that way. Hopefully you can start to build up your confidence and have better luck next time.
