Today, I was at my senior dance dancing with this guy I really like. He was telling me how he likes a strong woman who's not afraid to make the first move. Empowered by what he said, I asked him out. He said no because he thinks girls shouldn't ask guys out. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a guy I like asked me to a dance. Trying to act modest and at the same time compliment him, I told him, "You could do so much better, though." After thinking for a moment, he replied, "You're right, I could. Never mind," and walked away. FML
Today, I asked out the girl I really like. She turned me down, saying that she's a lesbian. That'd be fine, if I were a guy. FML
Today, I went to a dance with the boy I like. To my delight, he tried to pick me up. To my dismay, he couldn't. FML
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, it was Homecoming. During the dance, I saw this mentally handicapped guy ask this pretty girl to dance. She said no. So I went over to him and asked him to dance. He replied that he only wanted to dance with "pretty girls" and I was not one. FML
Today, I finally got the courage to make a move on the guy I've been crushing on. I asked him if he would like to go see a movie with me. He answered, "Sorry, I've already seen it." I didn't even mention any particular movie. FML
Today, after countless nights spent together and flirty texts, I decided ask my crush on a date while at a party. We went on a walk and held hands. Just as I asked him, he said no, let go of my hand and briskly walked away. He was my ride home. FML
Today, my guy friend kept complaining that no one had asked him to the dance, so he probably wasn't going to go. I suggested that we go together. He laughed until his face was bright red and said, "I don't think I'll ever get that desperate." 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, although I can't dance, I decided to go to a club. A really cute girl asked me to dance, and I politely declined. She kept insisting, so I finally said okay. A few minutes in, she stopped, looked at me, and said, "If you're going to make fun of my dancing, I'm leaving." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

#19 wins. The guy in the OP is a real asshole, though -- maybe he didn't expect to apply it to YOU, or didn't realize you liked him, but given what he had just said, that shouldn't be the reason for his rejection. And, honestly, it probably wasn't (even if he won't say so). If a girl he really liked had asked him out, I'm sure he wouldn't reject her on principal because he wanted to ask her first.

Lesson to young girls: 9 out of 10 (that means not all but most) men who say they wanta strong woman who will make the first move is referring to physically making the first move. They want to chase the girl and then once they have her they love when women take initiative. I mean its a dick thing for him to have done but thats how it goes. Men like chasing women and when they say they want an empowered woman they are usually referring to a self confident woman who is confident in her sexuality. They don't actually mean they want the woman to wear the pants.

He's a douche (and is probably gay). More girls need to ask guys out. This double standard is ridiculous.

first of all infiniheart.....you're a jackass what's the whole deal with this first thing? you don't get like a ******* prize so why call first? it's pretty damn obvious. secondly i have to say in his defense usually the first move isn't to ask someone out so i get what he was saying but it's still a ******** move on his part he could have maybe explained it better to you.

YDI (If you were hot enough for him, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist, but you're not and you should have known that ..so you deserve it for being clueless.) Don't you just hate it when someone is so oblivious to your lack of 'romantic' interest in them that they foolishly ask you out and put you in the awkward position of having to reject them? FHL

I can´t believe someone would actually say that. #62, you are one of the biggest assholes on the internet, and that´s really, really saying something.
