Today, my entire family thinks I'm a lesbian. I'm straight. I'm embarrassed and don't know how to tell them that I've been single for so long because I can't get a guy. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after being out of the closet for over three years, I learned that some of my friends still don't believe me that I am really a lesbian. They still think I made the whole thing up because I can't get a man. FML
Today, my sister gently asked me if I was gay. Turns out I've been without a boyfriend for so long that the whole family believes I secretly have a girlfriend. FML
Today, I'm a closeted trans man, and I feel terrible every time my family calls me "she" or "girl". Help me, I don't know how to come out. FML
Today, I told my mom I was with my female friend last night, because I wasn't ready to tell her about my new boyfriend. I didn't realize he gave me a hickey and now my whole family thinks I'm a lesbian. They won't stop making fun of me. FML
Today, I finally came out to my family as a lesbian. My grandma then told me I'm just going through a phase because I finally realized I'm not pretty or skinny enough to get a man. FML
Today, I realized that I'm at the age that whenever I mention a friend of the opposite gender, my family's first response is asking whether that friend is single. I've already accepted no one will want a pathetic freak like me, so their poking around what few friends I have makes it awkward. FML
Today, my grandmother called me to tell me that there will be a nice, single guy for me to meet at the family reunion. She went on and on about how perfect he was for me. I didn't have the heart to tell her I'm a lesbian, and have been out to the rest of the family for over six years. FML
Today, I found out everybody at work thinks I'm a lesbian because they thought my boyfriend was a girl. FML
Today, I came out to my parents as lesbian. Surprisingly, they were OK with it… just as long as I still marry a dude, give them grandbabies, and keep the whole lesbian thing a deep, dark, shameful secret that we never talk about again. FML
Today, my brother came out to our parents. They weren't super happy with it, but they said that it was ok since they still had a straight son. I don't know how to tell them that I'm gay too. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well you havnt had a boyfriend so they think your lez? Have you had a girlfriend? ... Just tell them you havnt met a special guy yet.. no big deal.
imaginaryvoice 18
Just be like "Im straight. Dad should know." That'll get them to stop talking.
abbiless 0
so you rather them think you're gay? sounds kinda stupid. this FML is stupid. I'm sure anyone can get a guy. I mean there's more than likely some gross guy who thinks he can't get anyone either.

#7 is right. If they don't accept it, it's not your problem. You don't have to explain yourself to them.
Volcomsmy_Lyfe 0
just tell em you just can't find the right guy?

9, I agree.
buddybudda 0
you actually just said it just now. "I been single for so long I can't get a guy" bam you solve your own problem good work for a lez.

lol #8's idea could work...
littlemissdqgirl 8
don't feel bad op. Even tho I'm engaged (to a man) some people think I'm a lez because me and my best friend are really close. It's not a big deal. Just tell them you haven't found a guy that you really like yet. You don't have to say it's cuz you can't get one. And don worry there's someone out there for everyone:)

Why would they randomly think you're a lesbian without you saying anything about it to them? That's pretty stupid. And you're stupid for letting them think you are.
sirfuzzitoes 0
solution: read the last 12 words in this FML aloud to your family. problem solved. dumb submittals like this are the reason this site sucks so much anymore.
breakingakajav 0
lol @ her name "likes boys" um op: you said you "can't get a guy" that in it's own is setting you up for failure... this isn't really a fml, nor is it a ydi.

Ahh.. What happened to the good ol' days when families just thought you a spinster, if you couldn't find a man..?
Simplyjulie 0
I feel the same way...

True.. but kinda harsh

as far as not being able to get a guy, you know what they say "if at first you don't succeed, lower your standards."
cincin75 0
I thought to seduce someone is quite easy work for a woman, am I wrong with it?
shtuff 0
I will help you out. Say these exact words to your family. "I am not a lesbian. I just can't get a guy." Now, lower your standards and go get a guy.
sharpl916 0
so if they thought u could get a guy, you are hot enough to do so, but lack personalities or what

crap, so it's true. real life lesbians are just fugly women and hippies. **** industries give guys the wrong image of a true lesbo:( oh well.
nerdsgetmehot 23
#68 That is not at all true...
muji150 0

68, that isn't true at all. some lesbians are hot ;) but I hate how guys these days are obsessed. (mainly because of all those **** stars) now I can't go a whole day at school without guys asking me if me and my girlfriend have had sex and to make out in front of them. it's discusting and downright rude.
cswagger 0

justj2010 0
there are a lot of hot femme ones out there. no one believes they're gay, though, except for other gay people.

So? It is a good thing if you don't start ******* around (yes, I meant that literally) early. Standards are good! So far every single one of my friends (male and female) who started early is either a mess (psychologically) or regrets it.
nerdsgetmehot 23
#40 I can definitely attest to that. I have a wonderful boyfriend now at age 20, but I regret all of my previous boyfriends.

Technically having a boyfriend at a young age causes trouble. I'm 20 years old and never bad a boyfriend

It's great to be single when you can be. Enjoy it. And love will come when its right.

Just because you haven't had a boyfriend in a long time you're considering a lesbian? have you given off some kind of lesbian vibe? I'm sure everyone in your family hasn't been in a relationship their whole lives, they're just rude for saying that! Your sexual orientation is your business! and you don't need to be in a relationship to be happy!!
manfred_fml 0
aaww hang in there you'll meet the right guy soon enough
caitlynnbby 0
Well being accused of being lesbian when you're not is waaay worse than telling them you can't get a guy... In my opinion. Haha.
habeeboburky94 0
ok how do you apply your eye liner like that? liquid ? I persume.
muffy_foxdale 0
so gay people are suppose to act a certain way?

apparently accordin to her family :)

You should cut back on the eyeliner, you'd look better without it.
caitlynnbby 0
I just use a regular eyeliner stick. Not liquid. :)
