Today, I was feeling confident enough to approach a guy by asking the bartender if I could buy him a refill of whatever he was drinking. He was drinking water. FML

Today, I was at a bar with a friend. A guy came up to me, took my drink and drank it. I laughed and jokingly said "now, you have to buy me a drink." He said "I would rather buy your friend a drink." FML

Today, I went out to lunch with a couple of work buddies. Trying to be suave, I started hitting on our waitress. Not two seconds after saying, "Hey baby," I felt ice water on my balls. The guy next to me had spilled both our water glasses. FML

Today, I finally found the courage to ask a guy I like out for a drink. He accepted, we drank, and when it came time to go home, I half-drunkenly left him my number. Once I got back home, I realized I'd actually given him my dad's number instead. FML

Today, I went to a bar with my best friend, and some guys came up to us and started flirting with her and offering her a drink. I felt a bit left out and started joking that "I'm thirsty too". One guy looked at me, cringed and said, "No, I don't buy drinks for weird girls." FML

Today, I was at a club with a friend. A cute guy kept smiling and looking over at me. He left his seat and went to the bar and brought back two drinks. He waved me over and then said, "Can you tell your hot friend that I bought her a drink?" FML

Today, I finally worked up the courage to ask out the girl I like. After nervously fumbling through my words, I asked, "Want to grab a cup of water sometime?" She looked at me confused, then asked if I meant coffee. FML

Today, I went to a bar for some drinks. A guy looked me up and down, gave me a suggestive smile, then asked for my name and number. I'd have been a little less creeped out if he hadn't been standing beside me at the urinal the whole time. FML

Today, I was at a fancy restaurant. I was drinking some water when I noticed a hot guy eating alone at another table waving at me. I smiled back, but had forgotten to swallow the water so it dribbled out of my mouth all over my shirt. FML

Today, I was at the pool, casually flirting with one of the lifeguards. He said that he would gladly give me CPR, in the event that I needed it. I laughed and thanked him, stating that it was a sweet idea, even though I wouldn't be needing assistance. I then choked on my bottled water. FML

Today, someone handed me a drink at a wedding, so I awkwardly took a sip and commented on the taste. It turns out they were just trying to “Cheers!” me. FML

Well at least you know that he never gets drunk and does stupid stuff.

He was drinking water instead of booze. No big deal. I'm not sure what the problem is. now watch the mods deactivate comments here, too, since people are complaining about this being dubbed a FML. ;) censorship, FTL.

The way I read this was that she walked up to the guy, and then showed her interest by asking the bartender to refill his drink, on her. It's an fml because he was drinking water, which you can't pay for. She wasn't complaining because he wasn't drunk, and she didn't ask to buy a drink for the bartender...

Why not just approach the guy and leave the bartender out of it? Chicks always try to make things so complicated...

So what? I don't drink, and when I go to bars with my friends, I'd be stoked to have some hot chick buy me a drink, even if it was pepsi or something. But yeah, as mentioned above, quit being a pussy and just go talk to him. That's such a chick thing to do; buy him a drink and then HE's forced to make the first move. Grow up.

A cool guy would have thought it was funny. This isn't really an FML though. It's awkward, sure, but not a tragedy. The best scenario would have been to just laugh it off and maybe ask him if he would like something else or if he is the designated driver or something.

I know that insignificant stories are o.k. for FML, but this is stupid.

If you were clever, you would have asked the bartender to still say to the guy that his next glass of water was "on the lady." It would have been a perfect icebreaker in that it shows him that you're interested AND have a sense of humor.

HOW is this a FML? How? "Today, I thought a man drank something with alcohol in it, he was drinking water and i feel like an idiot, even though it's nothing bad. FML"
