Today, I hooked up with a friend. I expressed an interest in it becoming something more. He expressed an interest in not telling anyone and pretending it never happened. FML

Today, I had lunch with an old friend I've had a crush on for years. We're both single, so I figured it to be kind of like a date. Until he started talking about how he told his brother last night that we would never be a thing. FML

Missed opportunities, mixed signals

Today, a friend told me he thought I was hot and we ended up having lunch together. I like him and we’ve already arranged a second date, but when I mentioned this to someone else, she got pretty upset. Turns out she liked me and had been dropping hints for a while. No clue what’ll happen to my friendship with her… FML

Love is love

Today, my online friend confessed his feelings towards me but I just played it down, and made a joke, then acted like nothing happened. Mind you, I actually like him back but I'm afraid of how far away we are from each other. FML

Today, I confessed my feelings to my best friend, how I'm deeply in love with him. The consequence wasn't good, as he told me we should never talk to each other again. FML

Today, I was having a good talk with a coworker and I was excited that I've made my first friend at work. After sharing some stories and some laughs he asked if I had a boyfriend. I said I do. He asked if I was always faithful, I said I was. He then walked away. FML

BFF

Today, I introduced myself as a sex addict, as a joke, to break the ice while meeting new people. One of my friends took me seriously and said he was a porn addict. He told me how happy he was that he had found someone else who had the same feelings and was so happy he could confide in me. FML

Creeper alert!

Today, I made a new friend at my college campus, which was great, until I added him on Facebook and he started liking posts from 3 years ago, asking if he could be my "dirty little secret" because he knows that I have a boyfriend. FML

That really sucks, but if this was a legitimate mistake on his part you should probably let it go

You got released from the Friend Zone, but after the sex, you got sent back?!? And to the Non-benefits-eligible region of the dreaded Zone! Brutal!

But OP was never released from anything. Hooking up with someone is not the same thing as starting a relationship. If it were, the term "friends with benefits" wouldn't exist. What happened to OP must have hurt pretty badly, but not nearly as much as it would if he had lied and just kept using her for sex. At least he told the truth.

The guy I lost my v-card to faked a panic attack and memory loss to "forget" that it happened. I still ******* hate him

Rightfully so. Did you at least get it published as an FML?

That's easier said than done... I don't think him acting like that will make anything less awkward in the future...

Did you express interest in it becoming something more only after hooking up? It sucks, but it sounds like he was just looking for a hook up and nothing more. If you wanted more from the beginning and thought that hooking up was the way to get it, YDI.
