Today, one of my really close friends changed from being 'free' to 'quite busy' in the space of one conversation because I suggested that we hang out. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I hung out with a friend who has been too busy to hang out with me in a few months. I decided to make the day super special with fun plans and spent a lot of money doing so. When I got home, her Facebook status said, "Pointless day, gone to bed." FML
Today, I texted a friend who I met some years ago. I had been asking her for months when she wanted to get together. Each time she said how she was basically too busy. Today was different, she said she was glad for the friendship but her daughter is busier now with new things, and doesn't want to get together. FML
Today, my best friend came over for dinner and a movie. Moments after arriving, she spent an hour on the phone, and ended up accepting another invitation before leaving. I guess it's dinner for one tonight. FML
Today, I realized that the only times I get to hang out with my friends outside of school are when one of them accidentally mentions plans in front of me and they are obligated by social protocol to invite me. FML
Today, an old friend of mine texted me, saying we should hang out. I thought it was really sweet and was excited to see her again, until she realized that she was texting the wrong person, and canceled our plans immediately. FML
Today, my friends and I were finally able to meet up for lunch, amidst all of our busy schedules. We had fun talking and catching up about marriage, kids and careers. One friend decided to cause a huge scene though, because apparently we didn’t take her being a stay at home “dog mom” seriously. FML
Today, after feeling like I've been sucking as a friend and contacting a friend who has called me their best friend, but doesn't talk to me much, we grabbed a coffee. The whole time I was trying to have a conversation, she was on her phone. FML
Today, for the first time in months, my best friend agreed to hang out with me. After waiting, three hours for him to show up, I called to see what was taking him so long. He told me he couldn't come because he needed to get a haircut. FML
Today, I talked to my mom about hanging out with her. She got out her phone to schedule an appointment. FML
Today, my friend canceled plans the day before the event, after planning to go together for over a month. He said he needed to work, which would be understandable, if his only job wasn’t for Uber where he literally sets his own hours. It’s too late to find another friend to go with. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

tight schedule?

I assume by "really close friend" you mean "guy you've been stalking for the past 6 months by writing daily love letters, hanging out outside his house, and stealing his dirty underwear for your own olfactory pleasure".

what if something actually came up? it really depends on who OP is talking to, and how close they really are.

Getting rid of your friends because you suck is a sub-par idea at best =^-^=

you're thinking too much, maybe your friend changed status to busy so she could hang out with you.

I'm guessing OP posted this some time after the incident. So that's probably unlikely, unless they wanted to take that part of their day out of context for some attention.

unless she was on the phone or computer as the conversation was going on and the friend was like **** hanging out with someone that won't get off the damn phone and is gonna practically ignore me all day/night.

Well, I hate it when a chick asks me if I'm busy on the weekend, and I reply not particularly, and then they ask you on a date. Just so awkward.

What's wrong with just saying no? Slightly awkward but less so than having someone dangling on your hook indefinitely. Honestly, anyone that tries to take away all the excuses before making a move deserves to be told flat out that you're uninterested.

No offense but that doesn't sound like someone I'd call "best"
ChantelRenaeee 0

Ya you should probably stop commenting all together.
ChantelRenaeee 0
im sorry but qas that meant to be an insult? :s
cptmorgan15 2
Not at all. It just seems like half the time you comment, you make a fool out of yourself. So, I was just giving you some helpful advice.
ChantelRenaeee 0
it wasn't helpful so please just don't bother with the advice.

sounds like you need a new friend..

Get new close friends. Its obvious that person is not a real friend, if he/she couldn't just tell you the truth, instead of using that bullshit ass "busy" excuse, which annoys me btw, then they aren't worth your time anymore. **** them!

Find a new best friend.
