Today, I introduced my Spanish friend to a girl I've had a crush on for a long time. Because he only spoke Spanish and she only spoke English, I was the translator. The first thing he said to her was, "You are really pretty." I translated it as "I like other men." Later, they found out. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I showed up at my boyfriend's work to surprise him by speaking in Spanish, his first language. I've been taking classes secretly. He smiled, kissed me, and then finished telling his friend, in Spanish, that I'm boring and ugly but he's got nothing better going on. FML
Today, I was talking to my best friend about a cute guy that girls are afraid to even speak to, so I then decided to march right up to him and say hello. When he smiled at me, I stood there with my mouth wide open, but I made non-coherent words. He asked me if I was a foreign exchange student. FML
Today, I introduced the girl I was talking to my best friend, and we all hung out. Until this day, her and I were doing great. After my friend left, she started gushing about how hot he is. He wasn't hitting on her at all. I reminded her that, and that he has a girlfriend. She was calm, but visibly upset. FML
Today, I saw the girl I've been crushing hard on. I go up to talk to her, and I'm immediately greeted by, "I like girls." FML
Today, a gorgeous woman on a train told her friend she thought I was hot in Spanish, assuming I was a dumb gringo tourist. In fact, I speak Spanish fluently, my wife is Colombian, and she was standing right next to me. My wife can’t rationalize my street value, and made me sleep on the fold out. FML
Today, I introduced my mother to my new girlfriend. My mom made a very nasty comment about her in Spanish, not realizing that my girlfriend teaches Spanish at the local school. FML
Today, my boyfriend introduced me as a friend to one of his friends. FML
Today, I tried to sweet talk my crush by texting them in Spanish using Google Translate. I wanted to say, “You look amazing today,” but it translated to something like, “Your fish smells weird today.” They responded with a confused emoji and “¿Qué?” FML
Today, while on a vacation, I tried to step out of myself and flirt with this boy who I thought was cute. He was going along with it and nodding so I thought it was working. Then he opened his mouth and I realized he didn't speak English. FML
Today, a guy who I was low-key crushing on asked me out. I excitedly told my best friend, as I do when I have big news. She informed me that the same guy asked her out 15 minutes ago. He'd originally been into her and only came to me because she rejected him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I've definitely seen this exact fml before

YDI And am I the only one to notice that this FML has a period after the FML, whereas other FML's do not? Just something I noticed...
GoingCommando93 14
There is no period.
AssTard 15
Never mind about the period. My iPod's screen is cracked so one of the cracks appeared to be a period.

31 - That would probably be eres, not estas. Estas is generally for short-term things like mood or location. Being retarded isn't exactly something that will change that fast.
I_lost_the_game 25
I'm sorry, but what is a period? To me, an English girl, a period is when a girl bleeds out of her ******. I'm guessing in this case, it's something different. (So going to get thumbs down for this)

Thank you! I am now enlightened, and won't think "Dafuq?!" when I see another comment like that

I bet OP was just afraid his crush would fall for the sexy Spanish language, so I don't blame him. Although he could have handled it a lot better.
notsorandomguy 18
34 - Please please PLEASE tell me there was no pun intended when you used the term "handle".
SkoomaKi 28

34-If OP was translating, I'm guessing he knows the spanish language as well. So I think you're talking about the accent.
22cute 17
Good for you, Op! If you had translated correctly you would be on here with real regrets. Keep up the fine work!

If the Spanish kid had the guts to tell the girl she's pretty, then maybe you could have done the same. But instead, you just backstabbed your friend and and made yourself look like a jerk. YDI P.s: just because a guy tell a girl she is pretty doesn't mean she will start dating him.

Well it's not really a misspelling, it's an autocorrect or a misjudgement of the 'd' key.

I think you meant to say "and" not "an". I'll say it however I want, I'm saying it.

If you're quoting something, say it right. If you're copying a quote and saying "whatever you want" that's plagiarism. So accept the correction and shut up. (:
Aug1508 9
It's called paraphrasing, not plagiarism! It would be plagiarism if I quoted it correctly and said I came up with that saying! So you shut the hell up and do research before saying anything twit!

Holy crap, take a chill pill.

Well if she's changing the quote Erica then it isn't really plagiarism.

Them Spanish are always trying to take our girls!
nofearjenshere 12
Them Spanish? You sound racist and grammatically incorrect.
crazycatgirl 0
Correction: it's not racism, it's saying the Spanish are always trying to steal our girls, which is a stereotype
BlAzEtHiS 0
No, they take our jobs and government assistance without contributing. That's a big reason our economy is in the tank. Check on California. They are broker then broke because of the illegal immigrants they have to deal with.
LaughinStock 16
72 HAHAHAH typical American always complaining that other people take their jobs. Yet I see a lot of stores hiring, but no we need a job that doesn't consist of manual labor. So damn ignorant, you're the reason why I hate this country. ( Sorry other commentators if I'm raging :)
The_Hitdude 12
78: Exactly. 72: Seriously? I hear your shit from people every day. This is the kind of crap dialogue they spew: Ignorant others: "Goddamn immigrants, why can't they stay in their own countries. Taking all of our ******* jobs..." Me: "But there are a good amount of job openings right now. Don't you watch the news?" I.O's: "Yeah, but those jobs don't pay well, and I'm not the kind of guy that gets my hands dirty." You have no ******* right to complain.You guys are so quick to complain about the lack of job openings, but you run in the opposite direction when you hear about jobs paying minimum wage that require manual labor. You went from paying taxes for immigrants to mow your lawn to paying taxes to mow your own lawn. Who's the fool now?

Spanish people are from Spain, I don't think the U.S. has that many Spanish immigrants.

OhLohd111 11
I remember being told it means "bitch". However English is my first language and I'm not familiar with Spanish slang yet, so..... Have a cookie. Or something.
LunaDragon 10
You all are mostly correct, its Spanish slang and in different regions means something different, but the overall translation of the word means, idiot, stupid, or dumbass. And depending on the context of the word it can be taken as a rude insult or poking fun at someone in a joking manner. Does that clear it up?

Why did you introduce them to each other in the first place?

Dumb ass! The first rule of being a guy is keep your so-called "friends" away from any girl you are slightly interested in. That's why I aways go to Kathy Bates movies alone and tell all my "friends" they shouldn't see them ;)

Oh shit, I thought the number one rule of being a guy is don't whip out your wiener in public. Atleast that's what my pappy told me
