Today, while reading the paper I saw a picture of a guy I really like that I'd met online. The picture was in the obituaries. No wonder he hasn't called. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I met a guy online. We talked all night long and hit it off amazingly. He told me he'd never felt that way about anyone else, and I agreed. He sent me a picture and he was gorgeous. I sent him one after he assured me he didn't care what I looked like. I haven't heard from him since. FML
Today, I went to a coffee shop to meet an online date. I couldn't spot him, so he eventually came up and introduced himself. It seems his on-line picture must have been taken before I was born. I spluttered "This isn't going to work," and promptly scuttled out. FML
Today, while on Grindr, I saw that this guy I'm friends with and have liked for a while now had messaged me. I got all excited, just for it to be a picture of him flipping me off. FML
Today, I finally met the guy I've been getting to know online in person for a date. When we saw each other, we both realized that we had heavily Facetuned our profile pictures. The awkward silence that followed was the longest five minutes of my life. FML
Today, a relative showed me a picture of her phone. I also saw a picture of her husband, a friend, sleeping. He looked like he was dead to the world. I asked, jokingly, "Why is there a picture of a dead guy on your phone?" Turns out it was her father, who is in the hospital, and dying any day now. FML
Today, after many weeks of talking to this guy over the phone for hours on end and establishing that we both had feelings for the other, we met in person. He saw me, got an "emergency text," and hasn't talked to me since. FML
Today, I went for coffee with some people from work. I lined up to order behind a guy I'd only met a few times. When he paid, he dropped his wallet, and I saw that he had a picture of me cut from the company newsletter, enlarged, and taped inside his wallet. FML
Today, I went on an online date. I'd spent a while getting ready and making sure I looked good. When I arrived at the café, I saw my date and approached with a smile. He stood up, looked me over, and said, "Oh, I thought you were your profile picture’s friend." Then left. FML
Today, my elderly coworker was telling me about a long-lost friend, so I helped her use the Internet to look the friend up. We found her. Specifically, her obituary. FML
Today, I was talking to a girl online and she stopped talking to me abruptly after seeing my picture. FML

Yes, but then again she hardly knew him. Plus, my first choice for sympathy wouldn't be FML.

When I think of the word caressing I think of something other then what you're probably thinking...

That sucks to get to know someone and really like them then POOF they're gone. That's sad. Sorry, OP.

According to some of these comments, no one can be saddened over someone else's death unless they knew that person really well or for a long time. She did talk to him and could have met him in person enough to really like him, so why wouldn't she feel a little sad finding him in the obituaries?

I wasn't thinking anything of the word caressing, but now I am...

your life doesn't suck and now his doesn't either.

I think what makes this even shittier is that you were probably saying bad things about him to yourself, only to find out he (probably) did nothing wrong and would have called you if he could. I mean, who doesn't think something like "Wow, he's not even gonna call? What a dick." Sucks, OP. Sorry.

Wow, that's horrible, even if you didn't known him personally.
