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

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.

OK: I will give you credit. Normally, a girl taking off her shirt is always a good idea. However, I'm getting this feeling that you more-than-slightly resemble Jabba the Hut. If so, then that wasn't a good idea, and it will nauseate more than interest him. Also, taking off your shirt and smiling at him isn't going to be enough to get most guys to quit their work-out and come over and talk to you- ugly or hot! This is because he's in the middle of a workout, and he also doesn't know you... so he would look really stupid to quit his workout and attempt to talk to you, only to find out that you were smiling for no reason, and thought he was ugly. Get the idea? So if you want to flirt with a guy at the gym, you have to talk to him

Hahahaha ouch. Sucks to be you. Telling you to put it back on was kinda rude though.

why don't people just do it the old-school way ? i.e smile, say hello, make small talks, etc ? the slower the conquest the longer the reign.

While I DO think the OP sounds kind of arrogant, I DON'T think we need to immediately jump to the conclusion that the OP is female.

Good point 81. Either way, if you're a male and tried to impress the other guy (trying to impress is an automatic YDI btw) then why would you assume he's gay? If you're a woman, and were actually topless, whyyyy? You're in public. BUT, if you had a sports bra underneath, then he was rude UNLESS your really fat or wrinkly. I put YDI though, as you tried to impress.
