Today, I watched a young shop assistant try her hardest to flirt with my 20-year-old son. When he continued to be totally oblivious, she outright invited him back to her flat. When he asked, "What for?" a piece of my soul died at how completely I have failed as a father. FML

"Wanna come **** me?" "Err...what are the benefits?"

Some people are just completely oblivious about flirting, doesn't mean they don't know about sex. Besides, it may be all a show because his dad is right there! It's awkward.

It could have been done on purpose. Sometimes being aloof works.

Being aloof worked. But OP's son didn't take advantage of it.

Is this how my dad feels when I shrug off being told a girl is staring me down???

That's a bit drastic... So he's not interested? So what? Some people just don't see the point in flings. Let him live, OP. His time will come. :)

Is your son gainfully employed? Is it at a place that is not a crime syndicate? Then your work is done, and done right. Now you can get to work on appreciating what you have, seems that needs a bit of tending to.

Imagine if your son would read this, now that would be the true FML.

Am I the only one thinking even if he was into the shop assistant it's a good thing he was (playing?) dumb. You'd really want your son to sleep with a woman who asks a complete stranger back to her flat?

maybe she just asked him to see if he was actually oblivious or just not interested?

What is the location and name of this shop please?

uuuh watch NETFLIX? and make cookies ;)

And be fat and single? Wow good advice ?

there's nothing wrong with being fat, single, and binge watching all 10 seasons of Friends on Netflix with a plate of sweet delicious cookies.

Yeah, it is. It's called diabetes and muscle atrophy.

No, i've just done it before... kinda? i mean i get to season 7 or 8 and something distracts me usually.
