Today, I worked up the courage to give a guy my number. I wrote it down on a piece of paper, tore it in half and gave it to him. Later, I noticed I'd given him the wrong, blank half. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I looked in my pocket for the phone number of a girl I met last night at a party. I remembered us talking and exchanging phone numbers. When I found the piece of paper, I discovered that instead of writing her number down, I had drunkenly written down my own. FML
Today, I met a really cute guy at work. He asked for my number, and I wrote it down on a piece of paper. After looking at the paper, he crumpled it up, yelled "Do you think I'm stupid? I know the rejection hotline when I see it", and walked away. It was my real phone number. FML
Today, I asked a girl for her number and I wrote it down when she gave it to me. When I called her, it wasn't her. She'd given me a restaurant's phone number. 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, trying to be smooth, I slipped the girl I like a piece of paper with my phone number written on it. A while later, she slipped it back to me and left the room. 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, a cute guy came up to me and asked for my phone number. I was super excited and began to write it down when he said, "It doesn't have to be your real number, I'm not gonna call anyway." I still gave him my real number. FML
Today, I wrote out a note to the guy I liked. I went to hand it to him, but he said, "Sorry, that's not mine," and walked away. I was so nervous, I couldn't speak. FML
Today, I wrote my phone number on a Post-it note and gave it to a cute girl at work. She immediately threw it away. In front of me. FML
Today, I spoke to my crush for the first time, and after a while he asked for my number. Ecstatic, I took the first piece of paper I saw out of my purse. I wrote it down and gave it to him, but he handed it back and said, "You might need this." It was an appointment card for my therapist. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The guy's probably awake half the night wondering why you gave him a blank page. You're inside his head now!

Track him down at a summer camp and put the pieces together. They will fit perfectly and you will live happily ever after.

Oh well i guess you'll just have to repeat the entire process, except this time, remember to check the paper you're giving :)

This is FML. There are no happy endings here... He probably would've thrown her number away.

I feel like this could've been avoided if OP had just folded the whole piece of paper and given it to him.

Poor guy is going to be spending hours with lemon juice trying to unlock your invisible number.

Good job he's not Taylor Swift or there'd be ANOTHER album coming out.

So, instead of thinking that he's someone you'd like to date, he now realizes that you consider him as your litter basket.

18- the same reason animals almost never have just one offspring at a time, some are bound to fail.

I see what 9 is saying. Even though the girl feels bad, how would you feel when instead of getting a number all you get is a white piece of paper. Most people would perceive this as a mean joke. Thus I feel more sorry for the guy.

Everyone draws a blank occasionally, OP. No need to beat yourself up over a silly mistake, OP.

When I read you post, I directly thought you where a female. Why? Because who ever this guy is, this ain't cool! A guy starts dancing with you, then after a kiss or something like that, he has to go. What does he do? He 'writes down his number' but when you look later, you find out you didn't get any number. Wouldn't that ruin your ego for.a while?
