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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Is this a single 20's gathering in this thread now?

haha i remember babysitting, those kids always put you on the spot. saying you had a bf probably saved you a lot of time answering questions about why you don't have one and justifying yourself to a 3 year old.

You could always get a blow-up boyfriend or grow your own boyfriend.....if you rather have a real person, you could probably try an online boyfriend...but make sure he's not a 10 year old girl first if at all possible....if that don't float your boat, there's tons of dating sites you could fetch a dude at!!!! There are solutions my sista!! Don't give up hope girl!!

I forgot that vibrators make good boyfriends too...but don't try to get them to do anything for you other than pleasing you sexually!

Oh honey, seriously. There are 30 yr olds who are single. Don't freak out. Plus that there are more women in the world than men... they get the choice of the litter. We're stuck sorting through the runts and plugs :)

I'm pretty sure that this would be an FML if it was something like "I told the three year old that I had a boyfriend even though I am currently single, divorced three times, and have six kids from those marriages." Being single at 20's not such a big deal.

Uhm, most 20-year-olds I know are single, including myself.

This fml is stupid. I think it would be worse to be 20 and married?
