Today, I was feeling confident enough to approach a guy by asking the bartender if I could buy him a refill of whatever he was drinking. He was drinking water. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at a bar with a friend. A guy came up to me, took my drink and drank it. I laughed and jokingly said "now, you have to buy me a drink." He said "I would rather buy your friend a drink." FML
Today, I went out to lunch with a couple of work buddies. Trying to be suave, I started hitting on our waitress. Not two seconds after saying, "Hey baby," I felt ice water on my balls. The guy next to me had spilled both our water glasses. FML
Today, I finally found the courage to ask a guy I like out for a drink. He accepted, we drank, and when it came time to go home, I half-drunkenly left him my number. Once I got back home, I realized I'd actually given him my dad's number instead. FML
Today, I went to a bar with my best friend, and some guys came up to us and started flirting with her and offering her a drink. I felt a bit left out and started joking that "I'm thirsty too". One guy looked at me, cringed and said, "No, I don't buy drinks for weird girls." FML
Today, I was at a club with a friend. A cute guy kept smiling and looking over at me. He left his seat and went to the bar and brought back two drinks. He waved me over and then said, "Can you tell your hot friend that I bought her a drink?" FML
Today, I finally worked up the courage to ask out the girl I like. After nervously fumbling through my words, I asked, "Want to grab a cup of water sometime?" She looked at me confused, then asked if I meant coffee. FML
Today, I went to a bar for some drinks. A guy looked me up and down, gave me a suggestive smile, then asked for my name and number. I'd have been a little less creeped out if he hadn't been standing beside me at the urinal the whole time. FML
Today, I’m so embarrassed I can barely believe it: I was out on a date and he asked the waitress to bring a pitcher of water and extra sugar packets. He took two Kool-Aid packets from his pocket and mixed it up right there at the table, proudly stating he didn’t need to pay for drinks now. FML
Today, I went to my favorite café to order my usual iced latte. The barista smiled and said, “The usual, right?” I nodded confidently, except she wasn’t talking to me. She handed the drink to the guy behind me and said, “Thanks, babe.” He winked at her. I just paid for my drink in silence, praying for a sinkhole to open. FML
Today, I was at a fancy restaurant. I was drinking some water when I noticed a hot guy eating alone at another table waving at me. I smiled back, but had forgotten to swallow the water so it dribbled out of my mouth all over my shirt. FML

He was drinking water instead of booze. No big deal. I'm not sure what the problem is. now watch the mods deactivate comments here, too, since people are complaining about this being dubbed a FML. ;) censorship, FTL.

Um, does it MATTER?

The way I read this was that she walked up to the guy, and then showed her interest by asking the bartender to refill his drink, on her. It's an fml because he was drinking water, which you can't pay for. She wasn't complaining because he wasn't drunk, and she didn't ask to buy a drink for the bartender...

Why not just approach the guy and leave the bartender out of it? Chicks always try to make things so complicated...

So what? I don't drink, and when I go to bars with my friends, I'd be stoked to have some hot chick buy me a drink, even if it was pepsi or something. But yeah, as mentioned above, quit being a pussy and just go talk to him. That's such a chick thing to do; buy him a drink and then HE's forced to make the first move. Grow up.

A cool guy would have thought it was funny. This isn't really an FML though. It's awkward, sure, but not a tragedy. The best scenario would have been to just laugh it off and maybe ask him if he would like something else or if he is the designated driver or something.

I know that insignificant stories are o.k. for FML, but this is stupid.

If you were clever, you would have asked the bartender to still say to the guy that his next glass of water was "on the lady." It would have been a perfect icebreaker in that it shows him that you're interested AND have a sense of humor.

HOW is this a FML? How? "Today, I thought a man drank something with alcohol in it, he was drinking water and i feel like an idiot, even though it's nothing bad. FML"
