Today, I was texting a guy that one of my friends told me about. She gave me his number and told me about how he was deaf. Three hours into great conversation I forgot and asked him what his favorite music was. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I asked my crush what music he was into, misheard his answer because of background noise, so I spent 5 minutes enthusiastically talking about a band he'd never heard of, thinking we were bonding. When he finally stopped me and clarified, I laughed too loudly out of shame, then knocked over my drink. FML
Today, I was so desperate for human interaction that I asked a deaf girl in my class if she liked music. I actually signed it to her. FML
Today, I was sitting on the train when some crazy man started talking to me. I ignored him, and he tapped on my shoulder. He started blabbing and I just pointed to my ears and mouthed, "I'm deaf." He stopped talking. A minute later my phone rang and I answered it without thinking. FML
Today, I realized the guy I like is not deaf. This would normally be good news. However, for the past two weeks I assumed he was deaf after seeing him use sign language. I've been openly talking about him within earshot. FML
Today, I was texting this guy that I really liked. Things were going pretty well. I got a call from his number and excitedly answered it. It was his girlfriend asking if he was bothering me because he likes to text random people when he's drunk. FML
Today, I realized that I accidentally said my phone number wrong when I was giving it to a really smart, cute guy with all the same interests as me that I met at a bar last night. I'd had a few drinks and had gotten the middle three digits mixed up. FML
Today, I was talking to a guy I really liked, hoping that he would ask me out. Eventually he asked for my number. I was so excited that I couldn't remember it. FML
Today, I had a hour long conversation with someone I apparently was friends with a few years ago. I couldn't remember who he was for the life of me, so I just played along. Finally, I told him I didn't remember him. He had the wrong number. I had a long conversation with a wrong number. FML
Today, I had a video call with a couple of old friends, but the conversation sort of got boring, so I started mouthing words so they'd think the connection was bad and end the awkwardness. Then, as soon as they hung up the call, I realized I'd left my music on in the background the whole time. FML
Today, I was talking online to this guy, and everything was great. He then sent a voice message and his accent was a deal breaker. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Believe it or not, deaf people still have favorite music. They like the vibrations of some songs better than others. My friend dates a deaf guy so she filled me in on this :) still awkward tho.....

That's not horrible at all, not even suitable for an FML. Even deaf people have favorite bands and types of music, they can hear/feel the base in songs. Some that aren't completely deaf can hear the base and others who are completely deaf can feel it. Don't feel bad at all, music is universal, even to people who can't hear.

Deaf people can like music. They can feel vibrations, duh. My friend has a deaf boyfriend and translates the lyrics of songs for him all the time.

Although Beethoven did this, deaf people can still enjoy music with speakers placed on the floor. It's done at the local deaf school here for their dances.

He probably thought it was funny and nice that you were so comfortable texting him that you forgot he was deaf. If I went on for 3 hours, I'm guessing he likes you.

Oddly enough I would have found that nice, I'm diabetic and my friends forget sometimes, it may not seem like similar problems but it shows that people are comfortable enough that they don't always think about it, so you had to be comfortable talking to him to forget

After 3 hours into a great conversation, an honest mistake should'nt be too worrysome.
