Today, I was at a dinner with my dad's girlfriend's family. I met this guy who I found kind of cute and tried to talk to him a couple times. To avoid talking to me he started playing his PSP. I could see the screen perfectly and the PSP was clearly off. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I met a guy that I liked. We really hit it off, that is until his parents walked by and he started begging them, down on his hands and knees, to buy him a new video game. FML
Today, I was at the mall and I noticed this guy staring at me from across the food court. He smiled and waved at me so I walked over there and tried to talk to him. He was looking at his girlfriend the whole time. FML
Today, I was getting ready to go out with my family. As I was putting my phone in my purse, my father told me I wouldn't need it because we were going to spend 'quality time' together. The entire time I was there, everyone was staring at their phone. I was the only one without one. FML
Today, I met my girlfriend's dad, who it turns out is such an anime nerd he decided to overplay the "idiot overprotective dad" character all afternoon, including making the dramatic faces, playing theme music from his phone, and at one point threatening my genitals with an oversized foam battle axe. FML
Today, I saw a ridiculously hot guy dining with his family. I decided not to flirt with him with his parents around but to ask his sister (who went to the restroom) to give him my phone number. When I came back, I saw her pointing a finger at me, and the whole family turning around and staring. FML
Today, I went on a date. Met the guy at the restaurant, everything seemed to be going OK, but then he spent the entire dinner talking about Pokemon GO, and wouldn't let me say a word. He suddenly stops talking, gets up, says he, "doesn't feel a connection" and leaves. I had to pay the bill. FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's father for the first time. We were at a restaurant and my bofriend kept playing footsie with me under the table. When my boyfriend excused himself to go to the restroom, the game of footsie was still going on. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy who kept checking his phone every five minutes. When I asked him if everything was okay, he told me he was just playing Candy Crush. FML
Today, I went on a first date with a guy I really like. He brought up that there was a person staring at us from a nearby table. That person was my mom. FML
Today, I was trying to be-friend a boy who was sitting alone. He had his gameboy nearly plastered to his eyes. I, cleverly, say to him, "Geeze don't put that thing so close, your eyes will fall out!" He took off his sunglasses, eyes going crooked, and said, "I'm legally blind." Insert foot here. FML

Learn to take a hint the first time. If he didn't want to talk to you the first and the second time, stop trying. Otherwise, you are just being annoying.

He obviously felt he was still playing a better game.

It appears you live in a trailer park family. I mean your dad's girlfriend's family? I mean that's like trying to pick up your cousin, brother, uncle, or whatever. I mean if I was him, I'd plug that PSP in, and fill the bath tub up with water, and drop it in.

did he not have a game or something? cuz he could have just played the game. but I give you sympathy. I would be a little offended if a guy pretended to play his PSP to get out of talking to me.

YDI for wanting to date someone from your dad's girlfriend's family--hypothetically, your future stepmom's family? wtf???? YDI.....

I think it's not that bad. After all she's just the stepmom, there's no blood relation.

She just said she met "this guy" at the party. Never said "a guy from her family" or anything like that.

He was playing a game, it was just a special game that you can only see of you're not a desperate loser. You should have changed into your clothes that he can only see if he's ignoring you. That would have kept his attention on you, unless you're fat and wrinkly.

Let's hope he didn't get that behavior from his mother...

Look on the other side of the coin. Imagine if you were him and you forgot to turn the PSP
