Today, I went to a coffee shop to meet an online date. I couldn't spot him, so he eventually came up and introduced himself. It seems his on-line picture must have been taken before I was born. I spluttered "This isn't going to work," and promptly scuttled out. FML

Today, I met a guy in a bar. He was sweet and funny so I asked him out for coffee later. He quickly turned me down, saying that I didn't even meet his first requirement. His first requirement was "looks like a girl." FML

Today, I went on an online date. I'd spent a while getting ready and making sure I looked good. When I arrived at the café, I saw my date and approached with a smile. He stood up, looked me over, and said, "Oh, I thought you were your profile picture’s friend." Then left. FML

Today, I had a date with someone I met online. We agreed to meet at a nice restaurant. I got there early, ordered a drink, and waited. And waited. An hour later, I texted to ask where he was. His response? "I’ve been watching you from my car for the last hour. Decided you’re not my type." FML

Today, I went on a date with a guy I met online. It was going OK, until he started asking me if he should stick with the site until he finds the right person. I guess I know how he feels about me, at least. FML

Today, I went to a local bar for a speed dating event. The first person I hooked up with took one look at my face, burst into laughter, and walked out of the bar practically doubling over. FML

Don't most dating sites have a picture of yourself. Was it honest?

I have sat through a date where the woman sent doctored up pictures. I sat, had pleasant conversation, and when she suggested we go to another place after dinner, I just politely told her that I wasn't feeling it, and that I had enjoyed the evening, and wished her well. I walked her to her car, offered a take care of yourself hug, and she tried to stick her tongue down my throat. I made a very unmanly squealing noise, and jumped back a few feet. Thats when I made the "Uhhhhhhh, No" sounds. My present girlfriend of six months, I met her online. She is a real catch, and we would have never met in regular, offline life.

#78 That was by far the stupidest comment I have ever read on fmylife.com. Everyone who reads that comment is now dumber for having done so. I award you zero points and may God have mercy on your soul.

mark266, #48 you are a ******* dick you british **** get off the internet! and #67 you are a condescending douche bag prick. :) also, it doesnt really matter how many people have gotten married or had successful relatioships the fact is some people are gonna think its a "last resort" kind of thing.. its sometimes viewed as a desperate attempt, thats just the way it is... Lol! but seriously, OP, I'm sorry that happened to you, better luck next time. Keep your head up! :)

Today, our son fell asleep with his iPad playing some sort of annoying beeping noise from one of his games. We can hear it in our room and it’s just annoying enough that neither of us can sleep. The iPad is under his body, so if I try to get it he WILL wake up and WON’T go back to sleep tonight. FML

Today, my mom told me that I wasn't allowed rights until I was eighteen, or until I took on some duties. The rights include having or expressing ideals that don't match up with hers. She doesn't know what duties I should have. My options are to either take on nonexistent duties, or keep my mouth shut for years. FML

Today, about a minute after telling my son not to pick his nose, he caught me picking mine. This has led to a cascade of, "Why should I follow dad's rules when even dad doesn’t follow dad rules?" He now questions everything I tell him, and is breaking every rule in the book to make his point. FML

Today, while at work at a call center, I got a call from an elderly man who needed a new credit card because he'd accidentally cut up his own card instead of his wife's. Trying to be funny, I said "Trying to keep her in line, eh?" Turns out his wife had just died. FML

Today, I saw that my boyfriend of 3 years had posted pictures with the girl he says he “sees as a best friend” wearing matching pajamas. He’d told me he wasn’t into the pajamas thing when I wanted to do it. He doesn’t get why I’m upset and told me I’m overreacting about some silly post between “two best friends.” FML
