Today, I realized the guy I like is not deaf. This would normally be good news. However, for the past two weeks I assumed he was deaf after seeing him use sign language. I've been openly talking about him within earshot. FML

Wow that's stupid because even deaf people can read lips.

I have to wonder here if the OP really experienced this, or if it's a response to another post on FML saying something like "today I decided to stop signing so much, I am hearing but there is a girl who thinks I am deaf and openly talks about me within earshot. FML" or something like that.

uhm if you don't know the guy well enough to know that he isn't deaf, then how do you know you like him?

Ugh. Pretty much everyone have said most of what I wanted to say, however, I want to add something else. You thought he was deaf, so you talked openly about him within his earshot. The fact that you posted this as a FML indicates that you didn't want him to know that you were talking about him. Really!? Why not just speak with your friends in private? That's not hard to do. I don't take advantage of the fact that almost nobody understands Sign Language at my college to talk about people. >_>

haha he might not have noticed. its hard to focus on sounds around you when you sign. atleast thats how it is for me.

Would'nt the teacher have brought it up he WAS deaf so everyone understands his condition?

have you never spoken to him? and you like him? what?

I know just because someone does sign language doesn't mean they're deaf.

just cuz sign is used doesnt mean he couldnt hear you...too bad girls never voice their interest around me lol

so u like him without even knowing him enough to know if he's deaf or not? YDI
