Nope

Today, the guy I liked came over for dinner with some friends. One of them asked him if we were dating, he became so distraught he started to choke on the food I had made, in his haste to tell them that in no uncertain terms, were we together. FML

This is phrased really badly. I can't tell if he was saying no or yes, because you used the phrase "in no uncertain terms" it makes it seem like he choked while saying yes you are together.

He probably did that because he does like you and wants to be protected against any rejection embarrassment. Sure it's a dick move, but so many people do this because humans are ****** and stupid always.

Well, he's s dick, he could have just said no. Don't waste your time on him!

yeah.. the wording here leaves a lot to be desired (means its poor). but assuming he was denying any relationship with you.. not all is lost.. like others said, he may have been denying it in public. a lot of people do that when they get nervous.

Good God, the attempt at grammar is so awful that I can't even begin to feel sympathy for the OP.

To 32. The difference between saying 'we were' and 'were we' in this context makes that sentence mean polar opposites. The way it is written, with 'were we' is perfectly understandable if you can actually read english, and the sentence reads exactly how it was meant when it was written. So yes, you are wrong. The grammar is fine, it's just your grasp of language that is messed up. Kaythxbai.

I, like many other people on here, first read the OP as "we were", but even when you read it correctly it is kind of confusing. For all the people saying that in this post the phrase "in no uncertain terms" is used incorrectly, simply replace it with a phrase that means the same thing. If instead we say "...in his haste to tell them that in no way were we together" it makes a lot more sense (at least it does to me).

#2 and #5 seem correct. He does not know that you like him. He did not want to tell you for the very first time that he would like to be together with you, in front of everybody; that can be extremely awkward for you if you were not interested and it is very reasonable to avoid that. Therefore, the guy you like may or may not like you. That is not definitive; however, if his friends are giving him a hard time about his relationship to you he might have told his friends some very complimentary things about you. WHAT YOU SHOULD DO: Call him up and ask him if he remembers that time when he was over for dinner and his friend asked if "we were dating." Ask him if he likes you, and if he says he does then ask him why he hasn't asked you out on a date yet sometime. Obviously adapt this based on the feedback you receive. Good luck. Grammatically: You only have two small mistakes: (1) The second comma should be a period. (2) The third and fourth commas should be removed.

You phrased this really badly. "in no uncertain terms" means definitely. So according to you, your crush choked in his effort to say that you were definitely together. And because this is an FML, I gather that he didn't mean that. So work on your grammar a little, okay?

things would never get romantic if his friends are around. first mistake you like an ass, second mistake. YDI

well maybe he probably does like you and was just shocked that the subject came up at the moment and tried to hide his embarrassment(i know because i've done this as well).

"in no uncertain terms" wouldn't that be a double negative, making it in certain terms, you are together? btw, you've got some misplace commas there
