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

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

Today, while in class, a cute boy came up and asked me for my number. I giggled and wrote my phone number on a piece of paper and told him to call me sometime. He gave me a weird look and walked away. He was asking which number math problem I needed help with. FML

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, I wrote my phone number on a Post-it note and gave it to a cute girl at work. She immediately threw it away. In front of me. 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

Today, a cute girl I know in passing approached me very nervously and blushing like mad. She gave me a note with a number on it, said to call her, then ran away. When I called the number later, it was one of those rejection hotlines. What the hell? FML

Today, I spoke to my crush for the first time, and after a while he asked for my number. Ecstatic, I took the first piece of paper I saw out of my purse. I wrote it down and gave it to him, but he handed it back and said, "You might need this." It was an appointment card for my therapist. FML

Today, I worked up the courage to give a guy my number. I wrote it down on a piece of paper, tore it in half and gave it to him. Later, I noticed I'd given him the wrong, blank half. FML

Today, I was talking to a guy I really liked, hoping that he would ask me out. Eventually he asked for my number. I was so excited that I couldn't remember it. FML

Today, I asked a very cute fireman for his number, "just in case I needed him to come to my rescue." He told me, "Yeah, sure!" and scribbled it down. After he walked away, I read his note, which read: "911". FML

If you feel that he's really into you, explain to him. If you can't feel that, then maybe that's just his way of rejecting you. :(

Looks like he's a loser and have been hotline-rejected way too often (but still is unable to memorize the number). Don't bother, you don't want to date a stupid guy, do you?

to the people who are asking if she explained or not...put yourself in that situation...after an outburst like that...would you REALLY want to explain the situation or just thank your lucky stars that you found out how unstable the person is before even getting into it?

Hahah whatta jerk. How's this really a FML? Just cause you got turned down by a douche who you probably didn't need anyways. Well should of told him to call the number and bet on it, he'd come around.

#15 how did "she" get rejected? He asked her for her number! The idiot is paranoid and has very very low self-esteem! OP totally not your fault and for all those who advised to explain... F*** it, that would make you look desperate! The guy is seriously a loser, you'll find better! You obviously look good because a "hot guy" you like came up to you and asked you for your number AND thought he wasn't good enough when he assumed you gave him a fake!

Sucks your number is the same as the rejection hotline. Your phone must ring off the hook. /Yes, I read it correctly I just liked the idea more if her number WAS the same, or 1 digit off.

He's not a douche he may have just gotten it before and think about it that would really suck if anyone did that to you the amount of insecurity you must feel after that you probably just have a number thats really close to it sorry hun :(

Things happen for a reason. You were not meant to be with a guy who frequently calls the rejection hotline. And he sounds like he needs anger management. Lucky you, that you found out so soon!
