I don't see how this is even possible. I hold hands with my friends (albeit mostly gay guys). Even if you don't have any friends.. what about childhood games and the like?

115 is right I just graduated high school, I have never kissed a girl, and the last time I had a real best friend was in elementary school. So what, i just have friends on each part of the social world, almost everybody I know likes me, and I will only have to pay a little bit of my college learning. Just because we don't succeed a one part of life does not mean our lives our ruined. It just means we either aren't ready for that phase yet. I'm looking for a girl who I can connect with for the rest of my life, so either I;m not ready for dating yet or girls aren't ready to just stick with one person yet. If I don't marry or have another best friend, my life will be fine. So don't FML or your life yet, OP. Your time will come or you will learn to accept it, just be patient.

Personally, I think holding hands means two souls conntectins (as corny and, gay/lame/cliche as it sounds.) I don't hold hands with just anyone, because I have never cared about anyone that much really....I've had sex and kissed my guys than I held hands with...I've only held hands with 2 guys...I'm 22 yrs old and I'm not looking for anything serious anytime soon because I want to stay young for as long as I possibly can. I feel that holding hands symbolizes a geniuine (sp?) Caring for the opposite sex or whatever floats your boat...I haven't really found that yet and I see no need to rush things....I'm not necessarily (sp?) Saying to ***** around, but kind shop around and see what's out there and find the guy that you genuinely care about and are willing and comfortable enough to hold hands with..I'm sure it'll happen...for some it might happen sooner than others it's all a matter of putting yourself out there and having confidence within yourself to get what you want...if they don't want the same thing then **** em..Just move on to the next asshole! Sorry if this made no sense. I've been drinking tonight.

Did you ask him out?

wow @ #139 someone needed to vent. anyway. listen to me, sister. you need to get laid, thats all. then you wont be worried about holding hands with someone.

People are too harsh on her. The social pressure is immense -- and sometimes those moments of realisations do feel like FML(s). I'm in a similar situation: except I'm in grad school now. I guess it means 2 things 1. any number of reasons you/I/anyone can make up (I'm ugly, etc) 2. nothing at all :P or 3. somewhere inbetween. The hermeneutic compulsion is quite strong in us so I bet everyone will be saying something nasty about me, but c'est comme ca. It gets easier as you get older, really it does. If she just entered college: that's when the pressure is the highest. I just think that 1. these FMLs might very well be true 2. FMLs are a matter of subjectivity, of course. That's part of the fun of the website. You're always going to get a mix: I guess more trival submissions for the simple reason that most "tragedies" (in the sense that our society defines the term) probably don't make people think "O man... I gotta post this shite on FML!"

I agree that some are too harsh. However, you can't sit around and wait for Mr. Right to come dancing through your door. You have to go out and look for him, whether it be in real life or on the Internet. (YES, Internet dating is a viable option in this day and age.)

hey its too bad the skeleton doesn't have a **** you can play with too. You're a waste of space go get laid.

... D: Whoa. That sucks. ...Haha. That okay~. Many are on the same boat... ... FML.

Fat or ugly, which one are you?
