Today, I got a Facebook message from the school genius/nerd, who I have never talked to. He politely informed me that after much thought and deliberation, he has narrowed it down to who his ideal mate is. Me. FML

Blast from the past

Today, I was messaged by a great guy I went to college with, and he was telling me how stupid he had been for not asking me out in college and about how much he had liked me. After talking for 30 minutes about trying to get together soon, he told me that he had mistaken me for someone else. FML

Today, I was ecstatic to have received a friend request from my crush of grade 4 after 11 years. He's grown up to be such a hottie. I quickly accepted his request, he messaged me and we ended up chatting for hours. Later, when I messaged him, he called me clingy and unfriended me from Facebook. FML

Today, I got a Facebook message from a guy from my old school. I didn’t remember him, but I replied anyway. When I checked my phone after work, I had 73 new messages that went from, “How have you been?” to, “Fuck you ugly cockteasing whore,” and ended with, “You better hope I don’t catch you!” FML

Nice guy

Today, I finally worked up the courage to start a Facebook chat with a guy I really like. It went so well, and he even agreed to hang out sometime. Seconds after we finished our conversation, he changed his status to, "Desperate bitches really piss me off." FML

Today, I got a Facebook friend request from an ex-schoolmate from my high school. He was the same piece of shit who used to bully me at the time. He's now a psychologist. I guess my life was meant to be bollocks. FML

Today, I joined a dating website and spent all day filling out and improving my profile. My first match is a guy who relentlessly tried to date me for all 4 years of high school. Now he just has more reasons to tell me how much we're meant to be. We're a 97% match. FML

Today, I asked my husband why he won't list me as his wife on Facebook. Apparently, it's because he doesn't want the high school friends he just reconnected with to know that he married "the biggest geek in the whole school." We went to the same high school. FML

Today, completely excited, I told my mom about this guy from high school that I had really liked and who had found me on Facebook. He said he regretted not asking me out in high school and offered to fly me out to visit him. Her response? "Has he seen what you look like now?" FML

Today, I got a Facebook message from a cute guy I used to work with. He admitted to liking me, and when I asked why we never hung out, he told me that my dad, his boss at the time, threatened every guy I have ever worked with. FML

dont be so elitist. if he's actually a genius he'll be freaking rich some day, he could be the next steve jobs or bill gate. and you never know, maybe he's a really sweet person and you end up being compatible after all. if this was him asking you to go on a date, why not? what's there to lose?

Or maybe he's a horrible person who will make her life miserable. Just because he's a nerd doesn't mean that he's going to be successful, in fact, most nerds never develop the social skills necessary to be successful in the business world, so unless he's able to invent something world changing, he's most likely going to be stuck in a cubicle writing code for the rest of his life. I'm a professional sys admin and IT technician, and I've noticed that the people who married nerds expecting to be rich are usually really, really disappointed.

Hey, don't judge a book by its cover. I'm dating a geek (never thought I would) and tbh, he's the best thing that's ever happened to me. Social status isn't everything. Give him a chance.

I had a nerd do this to me, too. He came up to me and told me that he was considering dating me but he wasn't sure if he was comfortable with my promiscuity (I was 20 and not a virgin, that apparently makes me a ****?) and would let me know what he decided. A few days later he told me that he had decided that dating me was worth the risk and that we could be boyfriend and girlfriend. I told him to leave me alone and that I wasn't dating him. He then spent the next year telling everyone that I "broke his heart" and that I was "the love of his life and the woman he wanted to marry" and that he was so upset because I didn't want to spend the rest of our lives together. Just block him, don't talk to him and move on. I had to eventually threaten my nerd with a restraining order. Good luck!
