Today, I finally got the courage to go up and ask out the girl I have loved for a couple of months now. After she said yes, I was over the moon and ran home to tell my roommate. The next day, I saw her making out with another man. When I confronted her, she said "Oh, you were serious yesterday?" FML

There are lots of revenge techniques. Say she tells you she's afraid of spiders. Put a box of them on her porch with her name on it, and a letter inside saying, "Oh, you were serious when you said that?"

Show it anyway

Your clever plan has been thought up before, however "I've been going out with her/him too but we haven't ****** yet so it's not really cheating" usually is not a convincing argument, and as a result of dating multiple people you'll probably end up with *no* people.

That's not true. If you're honest with people and say something like I want to date you but not exclusively yet we just met I think people get that....

I agree with 13. Agreeing to go on one date with someone does not immediately make you in an exclusive relationship with that person. Pretty simple stuff. Also, I hate that people throw around the word "love" in place of "infatuation," "lust" and "mild interest."

13 is correct unless u asked her to only date you then your sol. which would also be why she thought you were joking.

that sucks for both of you. for you since she doesn't really like you and for her because she didn't know you were asking her out. she might not be a bitch...she just didn't think he was serious.

FOR THE LAST TIME PEOPLE, NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK, YOU DO NOT *LOVE* SOMEONE THAT YOU ADMIRE FROM AFAR! It seems like you barely know this girl. You actually have to, you know, have some sort of relationship (not necessarily dating) with a person in order to love them.

Actually, I love someone I am admiring "from afar." Why can't I? I took a month or two to make sure it wasn't some silly closeness mistook for love, even. Unless you are talking about people who say they love someone they've never talked to, but OP doesn't necessarily say that he's never spoken with her before. Apparently not enough, though, since he didn't see this one coming, and since she didn't take him seriously.

I'm sick of it too. The word "love" is now as frequent as "hello" and "jelloshots" and has taken on about the same amount of relevance. Please people, for the love of Christ, be sure you understand what the word "love" means before you regurgitate it all over the place. Thank you, goodnight!

The word love can mean a thousand different things. If I say "I love you" to my friend, does that mean I'm just saying "hello"? No. It means I love them. I love them as a friend. I can't love them as a friend now? I have to want to be in a relationship in order to love somebody? Well ****, there goes family love too... Just saying.

DameGreyWolf - Comprehension fail: "relationship" does not equal "dating". There are many different types of relationship. Yes, you DO have a relationship with your friends and your family. It is, however, a different kind of relationship than that which you would have with your boyfriend or girlfriend. Yes, you can say you love your friends and family, but I think it's pretty obvious that that is very different from romantic love (At least I would hope so, in the case of family!). That said, I think you're just picking a fight with me now. (Maybe not, one time I got in an argument with someone on two different FMLs, and I didn't realize it with was the same person.) "Admiring someone form afar" and "mistaking closeness for love" are not really the same thing. It sounds like you have feelings for one of your close friends. In that case, it may very well be true that you love them. But guess what? You DO have some sort of relationship with this person, therefore, it is possible for you to actually love them. Admiring someone from afar is like having a crush on someone that you don't really have any sort of relationship with (ie, you are not even friends) and saying you love them because you've had feelings for them for a really long time and have failed to do anything about that. Capiche?

Why for god's sake do people claim they're in love with someone they've never talked too. It's called a crush and honestly crushes are for tweens. Get over it.

I covered that in my response to you though, the "not even knowing them" part. But you caught me there, on the "relationship" meaning part when I was growling about the "love" meaning. Hah. Okay, so I mean to say "So I have to be dating them in order to love them?" Yes there is quite a difference between loves. I was just getting grumpy at 30's implication that you can't say "I love you" without meaning it romantically. Wasn't trying to pick a fight with you...

So what you're saying is, I need to get close to them first? So stalking?

GREAT, another socially retarded VIRGIN. Seriously?? "Loved her for months"?? YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT LOVE IS, VIRGIN. How could you "love someone for months" if you never even spent time one-on-one with her?

I agree, although you spazzed a bit.

It's pretty ignorant to think that you have to have lost your virginity to know what love is. Not that this is the case of the OP, but there are still some people out there who prefer love before sex. You know, in case you weren't aware.

#16 if you are just going to make fun of the op why are you commenting. #82 it was a guy and despite what you, and half of the people on this site think, everything doesn't involve Twilight. #84 it says that at the beginning of every post he didn't write it chill. Op, that's why you shouldn't go for *****. Also, never wait to long to ask a girl out it sends the wrong message. You can get to know her for a little while, but as a girl I know if you don't show some interest after a while we are gonna think you're not interested.

Yet another YDI for not making yourself known! You only need half way decent communication skills to avoid failures like this! You: "Hey, you know I've liked you for a while.. right??" Her: "Yeah, thats sooo sweet (or creepy)." You: "Want to go check a movie tomorrow night?" Job done, but use the word "love" and you sound like a creeper.

although if anyone ever asked me if I wanted to 'go check a movie', I'd be a friggin GHOST. As in gone and they'll never see me again... Because that just sounds ridiculous tbh.

AND saying yes to a DATE does NOT mean you are in a monogamous relationship, genius.

Hell, these days saying yes to marriage doesn't mean much either! We read it nearly every day here on FML!

Just because someone accepts an offer of a date doesn't mean they are instantly your exlusive monogamous partner. She probably was going to go on that date until you pulled your petty, douchebaggy confrontation. By the way, did your roommate really give a shit that you had a date? Did it make a big diffference to him that you ran home to tell him instead of walked? He's probably thrilled with the prospect that you might get out of the house for one evening, so he doesn't have to endure your endless, loud masturbatorial sessions where you act out your fantasies of sodomizing The Wiggles. Ain't that right, mate?

Actually all posts must start with "Today" but that doesn't necessarily mean that it happened today because FML's (sometimes) get posted days after its original submission..

You are aware that every FML starts with "Today," and ends with "FML" FYL for being a moron who can't see the obvious.
