Today, I signed up for a dating site and used a photo of my mother and me at a wedding. Everyone stops responding when they find out they're talking to me and not her. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I woke up to an email confirming my membership to a dating site. Turns out my mother is as annoyed by my loveless life as I am. FML
Today, I called my mom to see how she was doing. She quickly hijacked the conversation and said that she's signed me up for a dating site, because she feels bad that I can't find a decent man. I've been dating my boyfriend for seven months, and she's seen me with him multiple times. FML
Today, I found my dad on a dating website looking for younger girls. My mother and father are "happily" married, well according to her Facebook profile. FML
Today, I asked my mom about signing up for an online dating site. She took one look at me and said, "Why get rejected online when you can just go outside for the same?" FML
Today, a woman turned up uninvited at my house, ready for our first date. After some embarrassed investigating, it turns out my mother signed me up to Tinder and arranged a date, all without telling me, because she refuses to believe I prefer solitude over dating. FML
Today, I joined a dating website for the first time in 12 years and spent an hour carefully crafting my profile. Ten minutes after posting, my sibling texted me screenshots. I’d linked my profile to Facebook, where my bio appeared under my real name for half my extended family. Aunt Linda left a heart reaction. FML
Today, I had a first date with a guy I met online. And his mom. FML
Today, I logged onto Facebook and found out that my own mother unfriended me because she didn't want her new boyfriend to know that she had a daughter. FML
Today, I was at dinner with my boyfriend and his family. We were talking about relationships, and I commented on how online dating was the dumbest thing ever. His mom and step-dad went on to tell me how they had met through an online dating service. FML
Today, I signed up for an online dating service, a couple of days after my divorce. I got my first batch of matches, and number one was a smiling picture of the woman who had just divorced my ass after 20+ years together. Her profile shows she has to have been active there for months. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Might be me, but isn't it a bit odd to use a picture of both of you for a dating site?

Post a pic of just you so you can find someone who wants you for you

I guess it's time to change your pic to one of just you.

You always put a pic of yourself when using dating sites. Sucks that they stop responding. Don't let it discourage you

If you like that photo so much, use the crop tool. You don't have to choose another photo and you will be the only person in the photo. Problem solved.

Kind of your fault. Seems like you'd put a picture of only yourself on a dating site to avoid such confusion.

Are you a man or a woman? Funny in the first, sad in the second case.

well the username is dylan. Dylan is a guys name. So I'm guessing a man.

Girls can be named Dylan too.

really? Why would people use it for a girls name? It's origin is the Welsh word for Daniel :S.

I've known girls named Bobby and boys named Dana, I guess a lot of names can be unisex even if some of us disagree. :x

I assuming it's a US thing? Although there are a large number of Welsh speakers in the US of course. No one over here in the UK would ever call a girl Dylan.

Drew Barrymore's character in Charlie's Angels was named 'Dylan'.

that's set in L.A. though isn't it? Which is in America.
DKjazz 20
It's not a such big thing in America either. I've never personally met any person with a gender-swapped name, but I know it happens.

#33, why do there have to be specific girl and boy names? I don't understand why being a girl means you can't be named Daniel, or that being a boy means you can't be named Lucy.

The people probably figured it was your mom because *typically* younger folks can get dates without using the internet sites. Still sucks though.
