Love: No thanks

No thanks

By StratMan - 28/05/2011 16:44 - United States

Today, I worked up the courage to confess my feelings to this girl I'm crazy about. I even wrote and recorded a song for her. Instead of listening to it, she gave it to her ex-boyfriend, who responded to my heartfelt words by headbutting me. FML

Today, I decided to confess my feelings and perform a love song I'd written for my crush during an open mic night. He was there - he also took the opportunity to declare his love to his on-off girlfriend, get down on one knee and propose to her. She said yes. FML

Today, I phoned my ex, who I only broke up with a week ago. I then told her about the song I'd written about her. I have written a song, but it's shite and I would die of embarrassment if I ever had to play it to her. I’ll have to play it to her and confess my simpy, wet ways. FML

My gift is my song and this one's for you

By sadsongstress - 12/08/2009 11:18 - Belgium

Today, my ex got dumped by his girlfriend. Seeing my opportunity, I sent him a song I'd written for him, about how much I still love him. He sent it on to the girl who had just dumped him, claiming he had written it. They're now back together. FML

Tainted Love

By Anonymous - 05/10/2010 21:27 - United States

Today, I told the girl I've been seeing for a while about the strong feelings that I have for her and that I was falling in love. She told me my words made her realize what it felt like to be in love. My words were so powerful, in fact, that she ran right back into the arms of her ex boyfriend. FML

Nice try

Today, I told the guy I like to listen to a song that expressed how I felt about him. When he was done, I asked what he thought about it. He said it made him realize that his ex was the love of his life and that he wants to go back to her. FML

Today, I wrote a song for my ex-girlfriend, hoping maybe we could give it another try. I emailed it to her and went about my day, wondering if she would respond. About six hours later, a deputy knocks on my door and serves me with an order of protection. FML

Today, I finally built up the courage to confess my love to the girl of my dreams. She turned me down. When I asked her about all the recent receptive behavior toward me, she replied, "I thought it'd be funny." FML

That's enough of these confessing feelings to someone who barely knows you. Enough. In order to avoid this FML, instead of recording a song, buying a whole bunch of flowers candies and stuffed animals, driving across the country, renting billboard space, sticky noting cars, or doing anything of the such, go up to the girl and say, "hey, I've thought you were cute for a while now and I was wondering if I could maybe get your number." If she says no, move on.

This is the 4th recent FML about a guy obsessively crushing on a girl whom he barely even knows, and her crushing his soul in return. You'd think that they'd all take the advice already out there by now. Don't approach the girl you like with big shit like songs and candy. Not only is that awkward, creepy, and completely over the top, but you might even insult her for assuming she's materialistic enough to be swayed by gestures, and shallow enough to not care that you know nothing about her. I always sympathize with the girl in these situations. Sorry, but writing someone a love song..it's disturbing.

agreed! too soon for all the gifts. they come off as overbearing. play it cool, ask for her number, and go from there.

It puts so much unnecessary pressure on them. Like, 'I gave my heart to you and these expensive gifts and you just threw it back in my face you horrid bitch, I would do anything for you blablabla...' These guys are not 'nice guys' as they believe they are. How can you think you 'love' someone if you're not even friends? It shows how shallow they are, to only be attracted to someone because of their physical appearance. Thus it always astounds me when the girl is called a shallow bitch for rejecting someone she not only doesn't know, but isn't attracted to.

While I'm not condoning the girl's actions, confessing your feelings out of the blue AND writing her a song before you know whether she even reciprocates your feelings (or at the very least is receptive to them) is kind of overdoing it. Tone it down a bit and other people's reactions might not be so extreme.

I concur with this, because it looks like the girl and the ex, despite being broken up, have salvaged their friendship. OP can learn something from him after he recovers from his concussion.

If you have any kids with her that turn out like #87, please drown them.

@87 if unnecessarily violent is all it takes to be considered a 'man' these days, then why would anyone want to be one? it would seem in your world being called a man is an insult.

I'm a guy, and I like romance. physical overpowering between males is nature, not insult; I do not fight, but I can see instinctively why two men would want to fight for their right to date a pretty lady. if guys don't want to fight for you, you aren't worth fighting for, therefore you are the insult of the incident.

your logic is both nonsensical and weak minded. "physical overpowering" is not what id call someone headbutting you for singing a song. id call that an attack or random violence. if you think its acceptable to just randomly "physically overpower" people because theyre showing interest in someone you like then you have issues. the fact that you consider this behaviour to be not only acceptable but...er...natural is kinda sad in itself. why would two men went to fight over a woman? sounds like the action of a brainless neanderthal to me. if guys dont want to fight for you, be glad you arent attracting dumbasses like this guy.
