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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

#90, how is that asking for it? Now you're just making broad generalizations about anyone who is interested in sex for the sake of sex. Or are you asexual? You've probably never been in a meaningful relationship yourself, based on your conservative and ignorant response. There, I judged just like you did.

Hey, at least the three year-old thinks you should have a boyfriend. No shame in being single.

92, i'm just saying that if you had explained right off the bat what you had been through (along with saying that you wanted to hook up with somebody) people wouldn't have judged you. I totally understand wanting to hook up with people after being in a meanigful relationship. I didn't mean to judge you. A lot of times people are just a little too vague.

Yeah at #4, you could have taught the kid a lesson better than the one society's instilling in his impressionable mind... instead, you acted even more immature than he is.

the fact that you're 20 and single isn't pathetic, it's the fact that you're 20, single and seem to think it's some kind of disaster. being single doesn't make you pathetic, dwelling on it and whining does.

sounds like you have issues you can be single and proud of it, especially at 20 if you've never had a bf, good luck, hope you find someone good

What's pathetic is that you think being single at 20 is pathetic. Seriously women of the world, WTF?! Why do we think we are losers when we don't have S.O. in our lives? Men certainly don't fell that way nearly as often as women do. You can feel lonely, but you shouldn't feel pathetic. It's 2009 no one expects you to be on the road to marriage at your age!

There's nothing wrong with being 20 and single. Enjoy it!

Jesus. Big deal. Get over yourself. You shouldn't have a boyfriend at 20, you should be dating.
