Today, I overheard the guy I like talking to one of his friends about me. His friend asked if he and I were dating, to which he replied, "No way, dude. I have standards." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was texting the guy I like. I asked him why our friend didn't want to come to the movies with us. He replied, "She didn't want to be the third wheel, but it's not like I'm going to put the moves on you. I'm out of your league, and you're socially awkward anyway." That's just what I wanted. FML
Today, the guy I liked came over for dinner with some friends. One of them asked him if we were dating, he became so distraught he started to choke on the food I had made, in his haste to tell them that in no uncertain terms, were we together. 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
Today, I told a guy at work about my boyfriend. His immediate response was to ask me if I was making him up. He's the third person to react this way. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy that I really like. At the last minute he informed me a friend would be tagging along. To keep his friend from being a third-wheel, I kept up a conversation, and managed to piss my date off. He thought I would be a better match for his friend. FML
Today, I heard the guy I love talk to a friend of his. He was telling his friend how he appreciates all my attention, affection, and random gestures such as buying him lunch sometimes, but he’ll never see me in a romantic way because I’m “too fat for his taste.” I was basically used the entire time. FML
Today, I was told by the guy I've liked for years that he would date me if he was straight. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend was crushing on his best friend. When I found out, I asked him about it. He replied, "Don't worry, she's perfect and is way too good for me." FML
Today, I told the guy I liked about my crush on him. He said he would keep me in mind if he ever hits rock bottom. FML
Today, my friend told me that she gave my number to a guy I've liked for a while. I asked why and she just said "He's just going to have to tell you himself." I got hopeful and really nervous. A few hours later he calls. Turns out, he's called to try and get a date with my gay friend. FML

I don't think it's shallow it sounds like they have talked at. the absolute least, so he might have standards as in personality like they just are not compatible.

Not every guy has to like every girl.

I agree with #39. I would only ever date a girl whom was very into video games as I am, because that's how my standards have been set... Even if they were 'hot' and all over me I wouldn't date them if they don't love games. This is because I know for a fact my life wouldn't be as happy w/o a gamer girl in it. Standards are not always based on looks. There are MANY other things that can be judged by standards.

Standards could also involve the girl not being a massive ****.

Or some people just have standards. Nothing wrong with that.

#45 I totally agree, and I think the reverse is true also. Though it does make me curious the amount of thumbs up comments that whinge about the friend zone get.

Off topic, the shadow on your face made it look like you had a beard. On topic, I totally agree! I've had some experience with jerks.. Not fun. Be glad you dodged that bullet, OP!

14 - I thought the same thing. I clicked on her picture to see if she was pulling her hair over her mouth.

14, 16: it is a finger-shadow-stache, ty for noticing, and it is intentional! :P and effective, apparently.

He's a *******. I think you're the one who can do better.
MissMess 12
Then he was an asshole unworthy of your affections anyway. Better luck next time OP
randombleeps 11
you should be like 'i have standards to. like a guy with a bigger dick'. lol
Ameel_fml 19
That doesn't even make sense. "I have standards too. I prefer guys who aren't ******* assholes" would have been a better response.

The saying "fight fire with fire" is not a good one, sir. When you fight fire with fire it will only make the flames bigger.
Catkam623 27
Actually some times fire fighters do fight fire with fire they'll set one to clear the area of brush so that the larger one can't spread past it
chanellgymnast 17
What the hell? Clearly his idea of "standards" are nothing but shit. What an ass. You deserve better anyways, OP.

Maybe he's one of those men that says mean things to the person they like. But that was truly cruel of him to say that.
scta 13
If that's the case then he shouldn't be called a "man", because that's something immature boys do.

I'm guessing OP and her crush aren't in elementary school. In which case, he's far too old for the "picking on the one you like" crap.

I guess he's not your favorite guy anymore.

Maybe what he ment was that he has some really low standards and you are way too high up in the standards hierarchy.
