Today, I met up with a guy from a local dating site for coffee. He walked up, looked me over and said "Ummm, no", then walked off. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to a coffee shop to meet an online date. I couldn't spot him, so he eventually came up and introduced himself. It seems his on-line picture must have been taken before I was born. I spluttered "This isn't going to work," and promptly scuttled out. FML
Today, I met a guy in a bar. He was sweet and funny so I asked him out for coffee later. He quickly turned me down, saying that I didn't even meet his first requirement. His first requirement was "looks like a girl." FML
Today, I went on a date. We met in the parking lot of a restaurant. As I approached his car he took one look at me, said "Nope", and drove off. FML
Today, I was on a date with a guy I met online. After 30 minutes, he abruptly stands up and says he has to leave. He practically ran out of Starbucks to get away from me. FML
Today, I went on an online date. I'd spent a while getting ready and making sure I looked good. When I arrived at the café, I saw my date and approached with a smile. He stood up, looked me over, and said, "Oh, I thought you were your profile picture’s friend." Then left. FML
Today, I emailed the guy I like to ask him on a coffee date. He responded, declining by telling me he never drinks coffee. We met at Starbucks. FML
Today, a cute guy asked me out for coffee. I like him but didn't want it to be easy, so I said, "Coffee dates are for broke bums, aim a little higher." He said, "Aight I will, peace out" and walked off. FML
Today, I had a date with someone I met online. We agreed to meet at a nice restaurant. I got there early, ordered a drink, and waited. And waited. An hour later, I texted to ask where he was. His response? "I’ve been watching you from my car for the last hour. Decided you’re not my type." FML
Today, I went on a blind date at a local restaurant. When my date walked in, she took one look at me, said "Nope", and walked out. FML
Today, I went on a blind date at a coffee shop. I walked up to who I thought was him, smiled, and said, “Hey! You look even cuter in person!” He looked horrified. It wasn’t my date. My actual date witnessed the whole thing and ghosted me mid-latte. FML

Don't most dating sites have a picture of yourself. Was it honest?

What's with all the haters from dating sites? I met my girlfriend of 3 years from a dating site, and I'll probably never try and meet somebody at a bar or wherever again if this relationship doesn't work out. In any case, if you're going to date someone off the internet, don't try and be sneaky and put up a picture you took with "the angles" to hide your real appearance. You're starting the whole thing off with a lie, and the above is going to happen again and again when you actually meet the person for a date. Just take an honest photo and send it. If you're not the best looking person, a lot of people will reject you outright, but it's better they do that on the internet than in person.

#63: I like to meet people on the internet so I could avoid stupid people who have no knowledge of spelling or grammar. You know, the type of people who spell "Wuts" instead of "What's" and "some1" instead of "someone." That kind of stuff is very hard to hide when meeting someone on the internet. The English language has all of the words you'll ever need to communicate. You don't even need to make up your own!

I actually have a couple of things to add: First of all, this guy is probably jaded from all the routine of internet dating and meets, so he wanted to skip it when he saw something he didn't like, which means, NO ONE WANTS HIM. Secondly, the others here are right, the very best Os I've had have been from VIBES, not from guys. Use your vibe. If you don't have one, GET ONE, girl! Thirdly, get into therapy. I'm saying this to you from experience. I know that a lot of the reason people have trouble meeting others is because of what's inside of them. Whatever it is that is broken inside of you (if you fit my estimation) is what you should address first. After that, (with courage and will, you can and will overcome) your genuine happiness and peace will draw people to you. Trust that you have everything you need to make you happy inside of yourself. Really good luck to you, OP.

37 - right on the nose. Happens all the time to me, so now I'm much more inclined to return the favour. If it happens to you, you can just blame all the bitchy, superficial women out there. I used to try and be nice at clubs and bars, but now if I don't want to dance or if someone's being a bitch, I am the equivalent.
