Today, I finally got the courage to tell the guy I liked how I felt by making him a mix CD. Confident, I gave it to him. After class, I went to the trash can to throw some paper away. I saw my mix CD in the trash. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at college, the weird guy who stares at me every day came over, said, "I've made you a mixtape," then handed me an old, empty Queen's Greatest Hits CD case and scuttled off. FML
Today, I worked up the courage to confess my feelings to this girl I'm crazy about. I even wrote and recorded a song for her. Instead of listening to it, she gave it to her ex-boyfriend, who responded to my heartfelt words by headbutting me. FML
Today, I made my mom a mix CD for her car. It took me ages to find just the right songs that would be perfect for her. When I played it for her in the car, she took it out and threw it out of the window. FML
Today, I worked up the courage to give a guy my number. I wrote it down on a piece of paper, tore it in half and gave it to him. Later, I noticed I'd given him the wrong, blank half. FML
Today, I was planning to ask a guy at school out since I had mustered up the confidence to finally tell him how I really felt. I ended up puking on him. FML
Today, I told the guy I like to listen to a song that expressed how I felt about him. When he was done, I asked what he thought about it. He said it made him realize that his ex was the love of his life and that he wants to go back to her. FML
Today, I finally got the courage to confess my feelings to the guy I have loved for a year now in a long note. He called half an hour later and said, "I'm not going to read this crap, just tell me what it says". FML
Today, I wrote my boyfriend a love letter during class and told him to read it when he got home. He texted me later asking me why I gave him my school assignment. I must have handed the love letter in to my teacher. FML
Today, I didn't have the courage to tell the guy who likes me that I only thought of him as a friend, so I asked my best friend to do it for me. It turns out that her way of doing this is telling him to "Fuck off" and then punching him in the face. FML
Today, I finally had the guts to tell my best friend that I like him more than just as a friend. I was about to tell him when he excitedly told me that he met the love of his life yesterday. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

if you recycled that paper you never would have seen that.

How would a CD of random songs you think he might like be a good way to say that you like him? You could just, I don't know, say it.

How does giving someone a mix CD let someone know you have feelings for him? Unless you put mushy love songs on it, but that would be really creepy. and I don't know about you, but I feel odd accepting gifts from people I barely know(just making an assumption there). just TELL him, guys like girls with confidence, or so I hear! YDI for being lame though.

Well, the thought is what counts, but it would be pretty difficult to discern that you're giving the CD to someone to try and tell them how you feel. Would be a bit better to go with something more direct. Or actually be direct. Being direct helps a lot.

Just tell him that you like him. Seriously, a mixed CD?

With the technology available today, "making" such a thing only shows you've got about a minute and a half on your hands. It's not 1980, and this is not romantic. If you didn't even tell the guy why you made him the cd, why would you expect him to hang on to it if he didn't care for your music? It wasn't a precious commodity, it was a few songs he could find himself (probably for free) on the internet if he ever decided he wanted them. You need to open your mouth and actually say something instead of making silly, juvenile gestures.

It has long been my observation that guys find the same act both attractive and repulsive depending upon the female commiting the act. If a girl he thinks is pretty does something, it's cool and he's happy about it. If a girl he doesn't think is pretty does the exact same thing, it's creepy and he's pissed off about it. I have seen it a thousand times. "Pretty Patty" walks by and says "hi" to a guy and he's in heaven. "Doggie Donna" walks by and say "hi" to the same guy and he's mad that she had the audacity to speak to him. So I think it wasn't the act of making a CD itself that was a turnoff; even if he didn't own a CD player, he would have been happy and flattered if a girl he liked or thought was attactive did it. I say this with great sympathy and empathy, OP, but the problem is that he doesn't like you. If he did, he would have taken anything you gave him and kept it, no matter how trivial or seemingly useless. The fact that he trashed it means you are nothing to him. Move on.

Well, most computers are still capable of reading CDs, and I bet that the boy in the FML at least had access to a computer, whether at home/library/school etc.

Maybe you should have just told him straight up instead of a CD I don't think that would have gotten the message across the right way.

Hahahaha man. You'll get no where with a guy if you do that.
