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

Same thing different taste

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, 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

By Anonymous - 04/06/2023 04:00 - United States - Miami Beach

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

Gives you nine months to prepare for if something like that happens again next year!

That happened to me once. Looking back on it, it was fairly obvious she came down with a case of bad boy fever. Unfortunately, she was in a relationship by the time it occurred to me.

Am I the only one who hates it when girls do that sort of thing? She's interested, yet instead of making the first move, she instead hints at you to do it instead.

I would like to know why he deserves it, when ever i have a girl say that to me, she doesn't want to do any thing with me.

Too bad you missed that chapter in "The Many Reasons Women Give the Silent Treatment: Hidden messages, and what they really mean".

What else should she have said? No I don't have plans, please take me out? YDI..

She could have said how she felt. She could have said, "oh, I dont have plans either, would you like to have dinner with me?" or "hey, I like you, wanna go out?" or SOMETHING. Not everyone can tell what others are thinking when they don't say it. Some people just communicate better when people say what they mean. Much less confusion and drama that way.
