By is there a environmental scientist in the house? - 05/03/2013 08:48 - United States - Walnut Creek

Today, wanting to impress my date, I bullshitted her about how I was an environmental scientist. She got so impressed that she invited me over to her place. Not her home, her office. So that I could give her pointers on her current project. She's a real environmental scientist. FML

You shouldn't be getting dating advice from George Constanza! I wonder what job you did have that you puffed up to "environmental scientist." I'm guessing you were wearing an orange vest and picking up garbage on the side of the road while doing jail time.

Sadly, that's probably not far from the truth. Like Custodial Sanitation Engineer

"Today, I went on a date. I started to really like the guy, and when he told me he had the same job as me as an environmental scientist, I thought he could be the one, but it turns out he lied to me. Now I'm depressed. FML" Won't be surprised if I see this one turn up soon

#30, in Soviet Russia, project gives pointers to you! YDI for being a *****! That sucks. Aw, I'll be your friend. Make her a recycled sammich. Sounds like a . . . *lowers sunglasses* an awkward, uncomfortable situation. Yeeaah! Once the dreaded reverse FML rears its ugly head, you have to go all-out with the other shit comments that need to die to fight it!

Ok, so even if you hadn't gotten un-lucky...let's say she was a hairdresser...what was the plan here? Things would go great, you'd get married, and then just pretend to have a different job for the next 80 years?

As long as you are nice to her, it's all good

why would you lie to her if you were planning on getting close to her? burned yourself there op.

#48, actually, that's not an unrecoverable error. He could just say that he liked her so much, he was desperate to impress her. In fact, of all the things he could pretend to be, the idea that he thought the most impressive job is what she actually is may end up touching her deeply. Never count out the assholes.
