Valentine's Day and Love: Don't be this guy!

Don't be this guy!

By clueless - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff - United States - Irvine

Today, I realized that when a girl asks what your plans are for Valentine's Day and you say, "Nothing" and she responds with, "Oh, I don't have any plans either", it means she wants you to take her out. It took me three months to figure that out. FML

Today, I asked a girl what time she'd like me to pick her up for our date tonight. She didn't know what I was talking about. It seems like, after months of sweaty palms, nervous smiles, and awkward sentences, I only dreamed she said yes to going out. FML

Today, two days after sending her flowers for Valentine's Day, my dream girl asked me on a date. She didn't show up. Her boyfriend did though. FML

Today, I asked the girl I'm madly in love with out to dinner. When she asked me if I would pay, I jokingly said, "Well, that depends on how the date goes." She looked me up and down and said, "No thanks then." FML

Today, I asked a girl I liked what she was doing tomorrow night. She replied, "Cleaning, so nothing really." I then asked her out to dinner. She declined. FML

Today, after trying really hard to impress a girl and thinking everything was going the right way, hugs, kisses and chatting every night, and trying to spend as much time together, I get told, "I don't know what I want, but I know what I don't want." Meaning me. FML

A tale as old as time

Today, I went out with a girl, I paid for the drinks, and thought everything went well, even though I didn’t make a move, I guess I wanted to take it slow. I texted later to invite her to a private beach next week, only for her to reply that she’s not gonna be available for the next few weeks because her boyfriend is coming to visit. FML

Today, I realized the reason I was asked to babysit 3 weeks ago for Feb 14 was because the old married couple with kids safely assumed that I wouldn't have a Valentine. FML

Today, the girl I've had a crush on for a year finally said she'd go out with me. On the way over to pick her up, she called me and said she couldn't go because she was going out to dinner with her ex-boyfriend to talk things over. She asked if she could use the reservations I had made. FML

Today, I finally went on a date with a girl I've been talking to for 2 years. She is my dream girl, picture perfect and I love her with all my heart. So I asked her, half jokingly, if I was her dream guy. Her reply? "Don't ask me something you don't want to hear the answer of." FML

To be quite honest, she probably should have just been straight forward with you. It's not like people can read minds.

I know girls tend to expect men to be mind-readers, but, based on the content of that conversation, it seems like she was at least initiating a conversation about plans for Valentine's Day and, if you weren't busy, hoping you'd agree to a date. Unless she's a charismatic coworker or a very close female friend, I can't see how this could have been misconstrued as anything but an attempt to ask you out. As you stated, she started the conversation. Also, she made a point to say she didn't have plans for Valentine's Day. Maybe it's obvious to me, but, honestly, how did you expect the rest of that conversation to go? Girl: So, what are your plans for Valentine's Day? OP: Nothing. Girl: Oh, I don't have any plans either! OP: Cool. Girl: Yyyyep. *looks at watch* OP: *quietly clears throat* Girl: Welp, gotta take off! Game's starting in 15. OP: Yeah, I hear ya. Girl: Glad we had a chance to talk; work has been crazy lately! Have a good night! OP: Yeah, you too! Catch ya later! Have a bit more confidence in yourself next time; if you feel a connection, there's no shame in trying your luck!

So what if it was V-day, it's never too late to try. Ask her out!

ask her out now and pretend you understood her subliminal messaging but were too nervous to ask her out

If she wanted to go on a date with him why didn't she just ask him herself? why does he have to be responsible for noticing a hint and asking her out?
