Nice try

By Timeless - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - Canada

Today, I decided to brush up on my flirting skills and ask a guy I thought was kind of cute what time it was. He pointed to the very visible watch on my wrist and said, "You should know already." FML

#4, or it proves that "what time is it" is probably the least flirtatious line possible, next to "where's the bathroom I need to take a monster dump".

the moving seconds hand would have given it away

Then he would look at it and say: no that's the right time.

ouch!! thats a conversation stopper. bless!! you clearly need to improve your skills or maybe try it on a guy who is more receptive to your advances. He sounds cocky anyway.

I don't understand how the guy is cocky when all he told her was that "You should know already".

People say lots of silly things when they're nervous and trying to flirt. A guy once asked my sister if he could borrow her cart in a grocery store. They dated for years. It seems like it was obvious she was just awkwardly trying to start a conversation. He could have been a good sport and not made her feel like an idiot.

well it isn't the brighest thing to say to open a conversation with a watch on. Next time take off your watch.

at least you like people with a sense of humor.

I concur with #11. He probably thought you genuinely wanted to know the time... Keep working on those flirting skills, OP.

time to remember you already own a watch?. lol. I would have said. I don't know. may i look at your watch to see? i don't carry one.

uber lawl at #10 Seriously though ( no offence to guys) they are oblivious to things like that. Guys don't read into things like women do. If a guys asked for some paper in class a women would get giddy (if she liked him) and do the whole Omg he talked to me, it's a sign... random crap. If you ask a guy the time he thinks you're asking the time. thats it. Men are simple, (for the most part)
