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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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, 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'm 19 years old and, having never been on a date, I agreed to let my friend set me up. He was adorable, young, with blond hair and blue eyes...and 4 years old. My friend tricked me into babysitting. FML
Today, my girlfriend's mother invited me to her 18th birthday. She lied about her age. I have been screwing a minor for 2 years. FML
Today, I was babysitting a three-year-old. She asked me what was wrong with my belly. I had to explain to her that I'm just fat. Twice. 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 went to an elementary school for volunteer work. I was asked to read to a group of kids during one of the classes. Before I started reading, a girl raised her hand and asked me if I had a boyfriend and if I was single. I asked her why and she said "My daddy wanted to know." I'm 16. FML
Today, I had to lie to my boyfriend about having plans on tonight so he'd think I had a life outside of him. All my "friends" are going to a party. I'm not invited. FML
Today, my boyfriend came to visit from another state. My mom didn't want me to go to his hotel, but I did. When she asked about it, I lied to her and said I didn't go. She the showed me a picture of my car outside his hotel. FML

I'm sick and tired of all the girls complaining that they don't have boyfriends and all the boys complaining that they don't have girlfriends. There are slot of single people in the world, so just get together. (I'm a single guy so all the girls who say they don't have boyfriends could be going out with me right now!)

I agree with #1. Why do you value a child's opinion so much? Also, being single when you're 20 isn't pathetic at all you should be out having fun and not tied down.

Alternatively, you could have said you don't have one and explained to the kid that you don't have to have a significant other to be happy if she asked why. Way to help enforce society's beliefs that anyone who isn't in a relationship isn't a complete or happy person. And how are you so insecure that you care what a 3-year-old thinks?

Your life is ******, but not because you lied to a three year old. (Well, yeah, it is, but read on.) Your life is MORE ****** because you think there is something wrong with being 20 and single.

Being 20 and single is absolutely fine (I'm 19 and single and loving every minute of it). You're just starting off in life; a boyfriend would probably only slow you down as you pursue your dreams, especially if you're in college. Remember--you'll be all the more attractive when you start looking to date in earnest if you took the time out to establish your public life and career.

Its not about her being 20 and single...its the fact that she had to tell the kid she had a bf to make herself feel better that is FML
