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

totally agree #111, what's the big woop about being single. Being single is great, it really means that you're not getting into relationships for selfish reasons and it really allows you to focus on important tasks, plus, at 20, what real kind of commitment can you give to someone else? Can you actually promise them complete and absolute dedication and commitment? 20 is a ripe age for self-discovery and only until you truly know yourself can you start exploring another.

it's more pathetic that you feel insecure about being single than the actual fact you are single. there's nothing wrong with being single. YOU'RE PATHETIC.

That's sad . So what if your single ? Not everyone is taken ALL THE TIME . You're just 20 . Plenty of hot Robert Pattinsons to find ; ) . Enjoy being single . Try dating different guys til you think you've met a good one . You're too young to be all serious and settle anyways . Just have FUN !

If you told her that you're single, she'd make fun of you and wouldn't respect you, and it would be tougher to babysit her. Good move IMO.

Why must everyone always feel sad for all these people that are single? Its not that big of a deal, and if you don't like it, do something about it.

What's so pathetic about being single? You really need to get some self esteem...

And here you could have shown her her life needn't be defined by her romantic relationships,
