Today, I was reading butthurt comments about how girl gamers can easily get dates and find love by simply existing. I'm a "girl gamer" who hasn't even found a date, let alone love. I've been looking since I was sixteen. I'm now 27. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was online dating and a girl from high school messaged me. Thinking she might have matured since we're now in our 40's, I messaged back. She then said it was a joke and that I'm still a desperate, pathetic nerd trying to score with the hottest girl in class. FML
Today, I took a cute girl out to an arcade date, and mercilessly dominated her in every game there, to the point she refused to talk to me afterwards. Gamer Pride: 1 - Getting Laid: 0. FML
Today, it's been since 2014 that I've been looking for a girlfriend, and the average response I've gotten was no. Today I got, "Ew, hell no." FML
Today, I'm a 46 year-old woman who hates online dating, and who is now single again. FML
Today, and for the past two weeks, I decided to try online gaming, as it's something I've never done before. I already have a creep stalking me because I mentioned I was single and he's a horny virgin. Remind me never to talk about my lack of love life online again. FML
Today, after years struggling with obesity, alcoholism, and mental illness, I finally decided I'd fixed myself up enough to try dating. The first girl I went out with said, "You're 31 and you've never dated? Sorry to break it to you, but nobody's going to want to walk a 31-year-old through Dating 101." FML
Today, I got so tired of my friends constantly pestering me about having a girlfriend that I downloaded Monika After Story. Now when they ask, I just say she's long-distance and values her privacy, so I can't show her to them. This is what my life has come to. Forever alone. FML
Today, after crying after remembering how horribly wrong it went, 10 years ago, with the only person I was ever able to trust enough to let them get close to me, and how no amount of therapy seems to help me, I read an FML about how nobody wants to date a 30 year-old who has never dated. I'm 29 and might as well give up. FML
Today, I was playing GTA4 and went on its fake dating site to email a girl to go on a date with. I've never had much luck with dating in real life, so I figured the game would be more kind to me. After a while I went back to check my email, and the fake girl I'd propositioned told me to get lost. FML
Today, I'm 36 and I got told the reason I've never been on a date is because everyone I've asked on a date is too pretty for me and that I needed to look for ugly women. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Don't worry. There's a gamer out there who's Princess is in another castle. One day they'll find you, and you two will Kart off into the sunset together.

Yeah haha I'm only 16 but I love gaming. Every guy says they want a girl who plays video games but no one comes to me.

Don't give up OP, I met my current girlfriend 4 years ago playing WoW and we're living together now, happy as Larry. It happened when I had finally given up and wasn't expecting it. I am 29 now. :)

No worries OP you are still young with plenty of time to find the right person for you. There's plenty of options, dating websites for gamers (it's been mentioned before, I know), or MMO's that are more social oriented, or you could hit up a convention or two. Or if you are just looking to hook up, cosplay as your favorite scantily clad anime character and go to comicon. Garanteed to attract attention with that one.

You are not alone I can tell you that, however I did meet the girl of my life playing a video game I am currently living with her and we have been together for almost 2 years now. I was in the same boat but more of a irl setting as I wasn't in that click group of hot empty minded boys so I never got into relationships until I met my now girlfriend be strong op you will find someone :(

dont worry, i am sure you will find someone! dont pressure yourself either, sometimes being over eager for love can be stressfull (and unatractive)
