Today, I asked a cute guy for his number but instead he gave it to my gay friend. When my friend later called him, it turned out that he'd given him his number just to get rid of me and wasn't expecting him to call. FML

Today, my friend told me that she gave my number to a guy I've liked for a while. I asked why and she just said "He's just going to have to tell you himself." I got hopeful and really nervous. A few hours later he calls. Turns out, he's called to try and get a date with my gay friend. FML

Today, a very pretty girl came up to me and asked me for my phone number. Very pleased, I give it to her with a huge smile and tell her that I can be reached at any time. I then watch her go back to her group of friends. My number was for her gay friend, who then meekly waved at me. FML

Today, the really cute guy who asked for my number last night texted me. He wanted to know if he could get my friend's number, because he'd been too shy to ask her directly. FML

Today, a cute guy came up to me and asked for my phone number. I was super excited and began to write it down when he said, "It doesn't have to be your real number, I'm not gonna call anyway." I still gave him my real number. FML

Nice guy

Today, I finally worked up the courage to ask a cute guy for his number. Once he had given me his, he asked for mine. My initial happiness was deflated when he said, "OK, now I can just block every message from you," and walked away. FML

Today, my friend and I went to a bar for drinks. I noticed this cute girl and went over to say "Hi." I had a great conversation with her and I asked for her number before she left. She passed it to me on a piece of paper with instructions specifying for my friend to call her and not me. FML

Today, a cute guy asked for my phone number and I gladly gave it to him. I was feeling really good about myself for getting hit on by the star football player. That was until he called 8 times and left 5 messages. In 2 hours. FML

Today, I met a really cute guy at work. He asked for my number, and I wrote it down on a piece of paper. After looking at the paper, he crumpled it up, yelled "Do you think I'm stupid? I know the rejection hotline when I see it", and walked away. It was my real phone number. FML

Silver linings

Today, I wanted to ask out this cute girl I used to work with. Before I could, she said she likes my only friend there, and asked if could I set them up. Trying to be nice guy and good friend, I did. Then she made her complete lack of interest in me obvious. But hey, at least the gay guy she hung out with thought I was cute. FML

Today, I went to a club with a couple of my friends. I met a really cute guy and we were getting along pretty well. We eventually exchanged numbers. Later on I decided to call him and set up a date. The number he gave me was the Rejection Hotline number. FML

That's just so wrong. He could have just said no. There was no reason for him to be such an ass to you and your friend.

At least you now know he wasn't worth your time. You'll find someone OP!

I think he is trying a nice way to reject you. But well, there are still a lot of cute guys out there.

I like how people call the guy an asshole, but his intention was to spare the OP's feelings. In fact her feelings would have been spared if her gay friend had the decency to consider her feelings before he told her about the guy rejecting him. Not being attracted to the OP doesn't make him an asshole. His plan failed of course, but that doesn't change his intentions.

Sooo...The guy pulled the, "I'm gay" card on you, but didn't realize that your guy friend was actually gay...Respect...You girls can't handle rejection the same way guys do. I'm not being sexist here. If we were as bad at handling rejection as you are, at least 40 percent of FML would be the things that you say and do to us when we take a chance.

Yeah, there's never been an incident where I've told a guy I wasn't into him and he's gone off on a rant about how "girls only want dickheads" and "nice guys [like him] get friend-zoned", totally taking rejection better! ;P

What you don't seem to realize is the sheer amount of guys that ask out girls compared to the amount of girls that ask out guys. Sure there are a few guy that can't handle rejection but the difference is that when they complain people mock them and complain about pulling the nice guys card, but as soon as a woman complains she is praised for breaking social protocol and taking a chance while the guy is labeled as a douch for rejecting her.
