Love: Today, I've actually developed a crush on a guy I never intended...

Today, I've actually developed a crush on a guy I never intended to crush on, and also can't have. For one he's married and utterly devoted to his wife. And even if that weren't true, he's so far out of my league I need binoculars to see him. And to top it all of? He's fictional. FML

Today, I've had more crushes on fictional characters than actual people. FML

Love is hell

Today, as I recently starting having a huge crush on this one guy, my friend told me she told him about the crush, and that he reacted positively. I made a move, only to find out he has a partner. I've tried distancing myself to get over him but he befriended all my friends and is now in our group chat, and the crush has only intensified. FML

Crushed

Today, I realized I have a crush on one of my co-workers. I’m married. I would never ever act on it but it’s really scaring me that I have these feelings and can’t make them go away. FML

Today, I'm in a long-term relationship with a woman I love to bits, but I have a crush on a coworker. I've tried to brush it off, but it's only getting stronger. The worst part? I think she likes me too. FML

Today, I found out the guy I had a huge crush on back in college, and still think of every day, actually did like me back. Except I’ve been married for nearly 8 years to someone else. FML

Today, I came to the unhappy realization that I’m living such a cliche. I’m completely in love with a totally unavailable man. He’s funny, smart, and drop dead gorgeous. There’s no way I could ever tell him how I truly feel. He’s gay and I’m a woman. We’ll never be more than friends. FML

Today, I've had a crush on a guy for a while - a friend of mine knows this. I finally decided to find out once and for all if there was any chance with him, so I drove to his house, armed with a home cooked meal and wine, only to find the very friend I confided in was at his house. It turns out they are now an item. FML

Today, I realized the extent of my crush on one of my employees. I found myself cropping our picture out of the staff photo to see what we would look like as a couple. FML

THAT guy

By Anonymous - 26/08/2024 21:00

Today, my crush, who has turned me down in the past, actually gave me the “Why can’t I find a decent guy like you?” speech. That’s it, I’m officially THAT guy, I’m just that pathetic. I’d happily never see her again after this, except we live on the same street and work in the same building. FML

If he's fictional and you are fantasising about him then his wife won't mind.

Jensen ackles has a wife. It's definitely him.

Dean Winchester has no wife, and Jensen Ackles is not fictionnal. So no.

To me, it made the FML funnier, cause I wasn't expecting it.

I've actually had a dream where I dated a fictional character and then they cheated on me for my (real) friend. You can never trust your subconscious mind haha.

I think you should have started with the fictional part lol, but I can guarantee without a doubt that we've all been there. So don't feel too bad.

The OP shouldn't feel too bad. I'm a 40 year old that has a crush on a Equine from a kids show, that reminds me of a RL person that I have feelings for, but we will always be somewhere between "good friends" and "siblings".

Honestly, not all of us have been there. What about the asexuals, or demisexuals. People like that? A lot of them have not been attracted to fictional characters.
