Today, the guy I've been madly in love with for ages finally asked me out. I excitedly said yes. I waited a half an hour for him to show up, with another girl and say, "Where's your date?" I was asked to go on a double date, but apparently he forgot to tell me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a guy who I was low-key crushing on asked me out. I excitedly told my best friend, as I do when I have big news. She informed me that the same guy asked her out 15 minutes ago. He'd originally been into her and only came to me because she rejected him. FML
Today, I worked up the courage to ask someone out after months of debating it. She smiled, said yes, and asked what time. I got so nervous that I gave her the time I start work instead of our reservation. We both showed up to completely different places and spent twenty minutes wondering why the other had ghosted us. FML
Today, I woke up very excited because I was going on my first date with this guy I really liked. I dressed very nicely and went to where we were supposed to meet. I waited for about 2 hours. I called him to ask him where he was. He got angry because he was still sleeping and I woke him up. FML
Today, after finally having the guts to confess to a guy I have liked for a year now and him saying he also likes me and then asking me out, I went out of my way and traveled 4 hours to meet him. He didn't show up and never apologized. I never heard anything from him. FML
Today, I finally got the courage to ask out the guy I've liked for a long time. He's a cashier at a grocery store. It was about 1am and I was his last customer, everything seemed just right. Just when I was about to ask him to the movies, a drunk girl stumbles in and asks him out. He said yes. FML
Today, I was on a date with a guy I've been crushing on. In the middle of the dinner, he said he had to go get something from his car. When I asked what it was, he smiled and said it was a surprise. I waited for my surprise for half an hour. Then I decided to pay the bill and go home and cry. FML
Today, a guy I've liked for a while asked if he could talk to me during break. He'd never done that before, so I was excited and said yes. As soon as we both sat down, he asked if I'd help him get a date with my best friend. FML
Today, I was finally asked out on a date after a year of being single. Turns out he got the wrong number. FML
Today, after what I thought was several weeks of flirting with a coworker, I asked her out on a date. She asked if it could be a double date, and I said yes. I brought a friend, she brought her husband. FML
Today, the guy I've been crushing on at work finally asked me out to lunch. I was nervous we wouldn't have anything to talk about. He spent the entire hour talking about how amazing his new girlfriend is. FML

I'm willing to bet he told you it was a double date, but in your excitement, you decided to have selective hearing.

This is worded so awfully that I still just don't fully get it after seven read throughs. Or maybe I am just dumb..

I'm sorry...it's the latter.

Yeah, the latter. 46- All this time I thought your pic was a transformer... Then I zoomed in.

Well, the middle part is worded pretty badly, I just can't think of another way you could interpret this. Anyway, 44, OP's "date" showed up a half hour late with another girl because he had intended the outing to be a double date, expecting OP to bring another date of her own.

Thanks 55, and reading it while fully awake it is making a lot more sense now but I still probably deserved those two other comments lol

It took me a while too; I read, 'I waited a half an hour for him to show up' and then couldn't understand how 'with another girl and say...' could make grammatical sense. Was she waiting for him with another girl? Then how does 'and say' fit into the sentence? Finally I realised it meant 'I wanted a half an hour, only to have him show up with another girl and say...' The wording does make sense, but it's a bit of a garden path sentence.

OP- I think the word you were looking for was "lust." This seems to be a theme for FMLs: I'm madly in love with someone whom I've never told, and they're going out with/getting engaged with someone else!

I agree, these posts are getting quite annoying. It's one thing if the other person knows, but it makes it hard for me to say "FYL" when it's OPs fault that she hasn't let her love interest in on her little secret.

I doubt she was too excited she skipped over him telling her it was a double date.. He probably didn't word it right and being as he felt she'd be ok with going on a double date, he didn't think he needed to clarify things.. Either way that sucks op..

You're halfway there, OP. Don't give up yet.

Tell him your date will meet you at the bar. When you get there, buy lots of drinks and no one will notice your nonexistent date. Then, have a threesome. Good plan, right?

Are you, or have you ever been a dingbat?

if you were willing to threesome, you're as dumb as many other females out there...

LOL, thats absolutley hilarious!

Maybe he did. Maybe he thought he said it in his head but it didn't make it to his mouth. Who knows? Maybe OP found it important enough to listen very closely to make sure nothing went awry like this
