Today, the 8 year old that I babysit every week told me that it was sad that I didn't have a boyfriend while he has a girlfriend. I got burned by a 3rd grader. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, the three-year-old I was babysitting asked me where my boyfriend was. I told her he was at his house. I'm twenty and single. I lied to a three year old to make myself look less pathetic. FML
Today, while babysitting, the little boy explained to me why I was single, reasons such as 'unattractive' and 'not the girlfriend type'. I cried. FML
Today, I was babysitting a boy who was 11 years old. He told me that he loved me and wanted to be my boyfriend. I told him that I think he is a really great kid but I'm 17 so it would never work out. He said okay. When his parents came home he told them that I hit him and started crying. FML
Today, I was babysitting a five year-old boy. Somehow the topic of relationships came up, and he asked me if I had a boyfriend. When I told him that I was single, he got all excited and asked if he could be my boyfriend. It would have been cute… except he was the first guy to ever ask me out. I'm 18. FML
Today, I found out that the girl I've been dating online for over three months is actually a very bored 14-year-old boy. FML
Today, I babysat the brattiest and most foul-mouthed 8-year-old I've ever met. After I survived three hours of it, his parents finally came home. He claimed I'd invited a boy over and that we did "stuff" on the couch all evening. They believed him. I didn't get paid, to say the least. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years broke up with me because I was "letting myself go". When I told the little girl I babysit in the afternoons why I was so upset, she looked at me for a moment before saying, "Well, I definitely can't blame him." FML
Today, a student told me to fuck off. I work with 3 year-olds. FML
Today, a sixth grader complained to me about her emotionally cheating ex and her current boyfriend. I haven't had a single partner yet. A 12 year-old has a VERY EXISTENT and better love life than I do. When I said this to her she said "Well, at least your parents love you." They didn't. I need therapy. And a life. FML
Today, I was volunteering at a school. There's this really bratty boy there and he was being rude, so I joked, "How are you ever gonna get a girlfriend when you're so mean?" He responds, "I think the better question is how are you ever gonna get a boyfriend when you're so ugly." He's 7. FML

He's got a point. I mean, even eight is a bit old to still be dating. He and the missus will probably announce they have a baby on the way soon, and that kid is probably about your age by now. I say you try asking them out.

Tell him to go do his homework. Kids these days.

The fact that you let a 3rd graders comments bug you is an issue all in its own...

Hopefully, both of you are getting the same amount of sex.

What a creepy response. But expected based on your profile pic.

It should be none.

You can have sex without having a boyfriend or girlfriend, you know?

Maybe the 3rd grader is just a horny hoe and needs to chill.

How cute, this brat has a friend that's a girl and he thinks she's his girlfriend. In all seriousness, I had some friends that were girls in my youth, but I only saw them as friends and nothing else.

This makes me sad. There's way too much garbage out there pushing relationship stuff on these young kids. Goodness knows there are parents who encourage it because it's "cute". No, it discourages boys and girls from having healthy platonic friendships and who knows what other self esteem issues it causes, learning that to be a half of a pair is desirable. Maybe because none of this ever crossed my mind until I was 12, when I got my first crush, my instinct to this is repulsion.
