Love and School: Today, I was studying in my university library when I noticed...

Today, I was studying in my university library when I noticed an attractive boy sitting alone four tables ahead of me. I wrote down my phone number, scrunched it into a ball, and threw it at him. He looked up, opened it, scrunched it up, and threw it back. FML

Today, while in class, a cute boy came up and asked me for my number. I giggled and wrote my phone number on a piece of paper and told him to call me sometime. He gave me a weird look and walked away. He was asking which number math problem I needed help with. FML

Today, I met a really cute guy at work. He asked for my number, and I wrote it down on a piece of paper. After looking at the paper, he crumpled it up, yelled "Do you think I'm stupid? I know the rejection hotline when I see it", and walked away. It was my real phone number. FML

Today, I decided to to gather up the courage to ask the cute boy in my math class for his number. He gave it to me, and I texted him later that night. But little did I know he actually gave me the number of the creep in class who is always grabbing my ass. I ended up asking the creep out. FML

Today, a cute guy asked for my phone number and I gladly gave it to him. I was feeling really good about myself for getting hit on by the star football player. That was until he called 8 times and left 5 messages. In 2 hours. FML

Today, trying to be smooth, I slipped the girl I like a piece of paper with my phone number written on it. A while later, she slipped it back to me and left the room. FML

Today, I was at the library studying. There was a really cute guy across the room. I decided to play it cool and walk his way and grab some water. Right as I walked by, my body decided to let out the loudest fart. He laughed. I kept walking and asked my friend to grab my books. FML

Today, I went to a restaurant with my boyfriend. When it came time for us to leave, I saw him write something on the receipt for our waitress. I managed to get a quick look; it was his number. FML

YDI for throwing paper at someone. I wouldn't be happy about that either. Just go over and talk to him. Or go by and but a sheet of paper next to him on the table while passing him if you are to shy. I can totally understand that he didn't appreciate paper being thrown at him!!

Your intent was cute. Your execution was misinterpreted. Better luck next time OP :)

Throwing a paper note at someone? I didn't know elementary school in the 1990s was making a comeback.

The poor guy was there to study. Leave him alone. And for those thinking he is gay for not wanting her number, he probably is straight but doesn't want to be bothered with it. He is allowed to not go out with someone he isn't interested in.

The OP is a guy, so the problem is more likely to be that the target *isn't* gay.

Okay here are my comments since I’m the OP. 1.) When this happened I just went through a horrific breakup. Was extremely heart broken and just genuinely I’m a sad place. I cried in the bathroom after this incident, but I guess I “deserve” it. 2.) I understand it wasn’t really mature of me to throw the paper at him while he is studying, but I was too shy to approach him. 3.) I’ve never done this before 4.) I didn’t have anything to lose 5.) I was extremely embarrassed 6.) why you guys gotta be so mean?

People are unbearably harsh on this site, I think it's because they don't think of the actual person behind the FML. You know how mean people can be behind a keyboard. I'm sorry & hope you're doing better!
