Love: Today, I was at the gym and I saw a really cute guy working out...

Today, I was at the gym and I saw a really cute guy working out nearby. I tried to get his attention by taking off my shirt and smiling at him. When he walked over to me, instead of asking for my number, he just said "Can you please put that back on? Thanks". FML

Today, I was at work when a cute guy came up to me and said he liked my shirt. In a desperate attempt to say something back, I said, "Thanks, I like your shoelaces." FML

Gym bro

Today, I went to the gym with two of my friends expecting to pay a guest fee but the cute guy working at the front desk let me in for free. On the way out after working out I started to flirt with him and he said, "Don't flatter yourself, I just let you in because I'm lazy." FML

Today, I exchanged numbers with this guy in the McDonald's drive-thru. When he asked why I gave him my number I told him I thought he had a nice smile. When I asked him the same question, he responded with "I just thought you had a nice rack". FML

Today, I had a very good-looking guy ask for my number while I was at work, but due to our policies I had to turn him down. FML

Today, I was having lunch at a cafe. There was an attractive guy looking at me from another table. I smiled back and gave a little wink. A minute later he approached me. I introduced myself and asked if he wanted my number. He said, "Um, no but what are you eating? It looks really good" FML

Today, I was finishing my chest workout at the gym when this really cute girl started using the machine next to me. To impress her, I tried lifting a lot of weight on the barbell. It ended up landing on my neck and she had to help me get it off. FML

Today, while out for lunch, a guy approached me and asked for my number. I politely declined. To my dismay, he dropped to his knees, grabbed his head, and started moaning about how nobody ever gives him a chance. I felt the accusing stares. FML

Today, the really cute guy who asked for my number last night texted me. He wanted to know if he could get my friend's number, because he'd been too shy to ask her directly. FML

Today, I went to the grocery store. I saw a very cute guy in the aisle and smiled. He smiled back and blushed a little. He walked over and I flirted with him. He said, "I thought you should know the zipper on your jeans is down" and walked away. It was. FML

Today, I went shopping. At the counter, the cashier started flirting with me and asked me for my number. He was cute, so I gave it to him. After walking out of the store, I got a text that said, "I didn't want to say it out loud, but your pants are unzipped." FML

It's true, trying to impress anyone is an instant YDI. However, he had no right to tell you to put your shirt back on. It's your shirt, I'm assuming you are either male or had a sports bra on underneath and were not breaking and public indecency rules, so he was entirely out of line. Next time, tell him no.

Maybe he was married and didn't want you to tempt him.

Maybe there was a dress code, in which case you should keep your damn shirt on and work out like you're supposed to. It's not impressive when you're too dumb to focus and follow the rules.

#36, EXACTLY. What kind of person takes off their shirt to get someone's attention? Desperate, much? Anyway, no offense but if you were working out you probably looked gross all sweaty and red-faced. That's what happens to most people when they're working out, even if they are good looking. If you really want to get a guy's attention by being half naked, go to the pool or something.

I love how most girls are telling the OP "tell him to go **** himself" How about not being a ******* *****? That might work. Stop flattering yourself, not every guy wants to see your ****.

Any FML that involves "tried to get his/her attention" or "tried to impress him/her" is an automatic YDI.

are you a guy or a girl? your writing doesn't imply one way or the other and the story works for both. why are you taking your shirt off in the gym if you're a girl? i guess you could have a sports bra, but then you're just dumb because you should make him work for it.

To everyone that is saying "YDI for trying to impress him! OMG Like every other girl who posts on here!" Lay off. Yes, I get sick of hearing these stories about people trying to impress someone and horribly screwing up. Really sick. But the YDI doesn't rest in the "trying to impress" part. We have ALL tried to impress someone we like or find attractive at least ONCE in our lives. Duh. Just because when you impressed someone and it didn't fail doesn't mean you're any different from all the people who post on here and had an FML situation. I always hit YDI on these though just because I get sick of seeing the same damn thing.

Look, I'm gonna have to be personally honest here, that was your fault. Keep in mind that I personally love to go to the gym. I have been married for 15 years. So, if a woman begins to make it clear that she is interested, I will be quite clear that I am taken. You should have struck up conversation with him, like any normal relationship. It was kind of rude for him to say that kind of stuff, but keep in mind he was most likely very busy working out, and most likely an asshole. In the future, keep in mind that any worthwhile man will NOT ask you out simply because you show some skin

How is that being "personally honest" #51? Are you retarded as well as judgmental? Doesn't really matter if you're married or not. If someone takes their top off in a gym(presuming the OP didn't actually have her **** completely showing) there's no reason to presume it's just because of you, even if they're smiling at you. People show skin at the gym.
