Awkward and Love: Love language

Love language

By upupandaway - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I spent two hours perfecting a really romantic text message to my boyfriend for our one year anniversary. I listed all the things I loved about him, and recalled some of our best times together. Two minutes after I sent it, he replied, "Huh?" FML

Today, I was spending time with my boyfriend for our one year anniversary. Trying to be romantic, I told him that I loved him and I was so glad I was with him. He responded by giving me a thumbs-up and turning back to the TV. FML

Self sabotage

By StarryEyes - 27/01/2024 06:00 - Canada

Today, I spent an hour meticulously crafting the perfect text to ask my crush out. Just as I hit send, I realized I'd accidentally sent a screenshot of the conversation to my crush instead. Now they know my level of commitment: zero. FML

Today, I spent hours delicately writing out what seemed to be a beautiful poem to my girlfriend. After I sent it to her, I kept eyeing my phone to see her surprised message. No, the only response I got was, "You may want to use a spellcheck." FML

Today, I sent my boyfriend of three and a half years a text message spilling my heart out, saying I'll love him forever, and how much I appreciate him in my life, that I want to be the mother of his children, etc. His text back to me? "Are you drunk?!?" FML

Crossed wires

Today, I sent a romantic, flirty text to my boyfriend. A few minutes later, I got a reply from… my mom, saying, “I don’t think this was meant for me, but thanks for making my day awkward.” FML

Guilt trip

By annoyed - 11/05/2016 11:40 - Netherlands - Maastricht

Today, I sent my boyfriend a sweet text message, since he recently complained that I'm rarely romantic. Instead of being happy, he decided that since it's so out of character for me, I must be cheating on him and must have only sent it out of guilt. FML

It's a text, never say anything meaningful in a text.

For some reason, text message doesn't exactly scream "romantic"..even a paper airplane or a phone call would have been more romantic =_=

I'm not going to try to comment about the medium being 'romantic' or otherwise. Noone seems to have thought of something rather simple. Text messages can only be 160 characters long. Yes, smartphones will split them up and send them in multiple messages, but not all phones do. OP's boyfriend may have said 'Huh?' because the message showed up on his phone ending with 'and I love when you' or 'remember when we'

Its possible the text came through truncated... I often receive large text messages as multimedia texts with no actual data in them.

Romantic text messages are... well... yeah... at least I don't do them. Nor my boyfriend. And such things as anniversaries.. we don't celebrate them, either. Maybe because we don't know the date... ah, who cares.
