Today, I told my coworkers that I was going on a date tonight so they would think I have a social life. One of them spotted me while I was eating alone at McDonalds. FML

Well to be honest I made the whole thing up because I got tired of being that one guy at work who can't get a girlfriend. It's a small place, there are only 8 of us who work there, and I'm the only one that's single, so I get jokes about it quite a lot. They're nothing bad, I know it's all in fun, but yesterday someone made yet another joke about it and for some reason I just blurted out that I had a date tonight. As soon as I did I figured might as well go with the story, so when I got questioned about it I made up a fake name and description for the girl as well. The best part is that I told everyone I was taking her to this really fancy and expensive restaurant, so when they saw me at McDonalds it was ironic actually. Luckily for me today is a holiday, but I have a feeling tomorrow the mocking is going to be worse than ever. I voted YDI by the way.

You shouldn't have to impress anyone. Just go about your day or night how you choose. I wouldn't expect a guy to have a crazy wild social life,whatever he does with his life isn't my business.

You could always claim you were still hungry after your date. Everybody knows those fancy restaurants have really small portions.

My life almost exactly but I don't like to go out and I don't eat out I get it to go. So I don't have panic attacks.

Eh, I'm used to people razzing me about my lack of social life. Instead of lying about it, though, I made it part of my charm. Coworkers eventually came to know me as "the one who actually listens to people".
