Today, I received gorgeous orchids from my long distance boyfriend. I was excited about it and told my parents. They still are convinced I have no boyfriend and I mailed the flowers to myself. FML

The solution is obvious. Dump your boyfriend for not existing. The jerk...

Most cases this is true, but I have been in a long distance for 2 years now.

never say never. mine never has but my brother did. all the way from Columbia.

Tell them he's mailing you a ***** next so you can prepare for the BIG visit ;)

Orchids? Either you sent them to yourself or your LDR is a gay man. A straight guy would send red roses. If you want to pull off a fraud, do some research in advance.

I was kind of thinking the same thing. Most guys send roses simply because it's the only type of flower they actually know the name of.

She may have mentioned to him that they're her favorite, probably why he sent type of flower.

I once heard the color of roses have different meanings- Red: love White: respect Pink: friendship Yellow: thank you for last night!

Enslaved, I hadn't heard the whole list, but I had been told you only give a girl red roses after you've had sex with her. Before that, you can give her different colors or different flowers. In Texas, it's cute to give yellow roses.

Wow, you guys have really done your research...

Lalalady42, I know. That's why I always played it safe and presented my dates with a cucumber and two kiwis.

Damn, I'm not a fan of roses.... They feel a bit cliche :/ 27 you don't need to know the names of flowers - you just need to be really good at pointing :P

^ can't point if you're ordering them over the phone.

^ but you can point if ordering on the internet

Or the OP and her BF have discussed what her favorite flower is and it isn't roses? I personally don't go for the stereotypical roses and diamonds and my BF knows it.

Have your bf fly out and have sex on their bed!

I imagined the boyfriend actually flying through the skies naked, gliding in through OP's bed, and directly into her ****** to initiate some overdue sex. I need therapy.

I think that its time for him to visit you in person

If you're so concerned that your parents don't believe you, then have your bf talk to them over the phone. Come on girl, it's not that hard. Though it was very nice for him to send flowers. :)

Anyone else having finals today? I am. It sucks.

What the **** does this have to do with the FML?

That's amazing. Actually no it's not. News Flash: No one cares!

I like that "this is so stupid that I am ignoring it and let's change the subject" strategy. I should try that more often.

Apparently your love life, as your parents see it, hasn't been too glamorous. Sorry, OP
