Love: Today, I went on a fabulous date with a really cute, smart, funny...

Today, I went on a fabulous date with a really cute, smart, funny guy. He only mentioned his dad, so when I asked about his mom, I asked if they were divorced. She'd died of breast cancer so I felt awful. Then I asked if his dad had ever remarried. His stepmom had died of cancer too. FML

Today, while I was on a date, I noticed my ex-boyfriend in the restaurant, and he looked sad. So I walked over to see him and jokingly said, "You look like your mom died or something!" She had. FML

Today, I went on a first date with a guy I really like. He brought up that there was a person staring at us from a nearby table. That person was my mom. FML

Today, a guy who I've been on five dates with called me for the first time in 2 weeks. The first thing I said was, "Don't expect me to go out with you again after going AWOL on me." Then he told me his mom died. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 2 months got upset and frustrated with me because he had yet to meet my mom. I'd told him on our first date that she passed away 4 years ago. FML

Today, I was supposed to be going on my first date with a guy I really liked. He never showed up. I just found out my dad was outside washing the car when my date showed up. He told him he didn't have a daughter and to never show up on his driveway again. FML

Today, I knew my mom wanted to go out to dinner with me and my sisters, and I couldn't remember why, so I called her and said, "Why are we going out to dinner?" and she goes, "Well, we always have." I forgot today's the anniversary of my stepdad dying. FML

That's just bad luck. I'm sure he understands--it's not like you could have known!

I go through this allot with explaining to people about my mom and her committing suicide... Never easy, but you learn never to hold it against people who ask

I'm sure, if he was ready to date, he was ready to face questions about his past.

You shouldn't feel bad for that, I think you asked normal questions for a first date and there's no way you could have known all that beforehand. Don't beat yourself up about it. :)

He will get those questions from anyone, don't worry about it, you did nothing wrong, it could happen to anyone, and unfortunately he is going to have to accept that people are going to ask.

Yea, no way around those questions. You would find out either way.

Don't feel bad. You couldn't have known. On another note, let's hope somebody finds a cure for cancer soon.

No way you could have known, and family usually comes up on one of the first dates so he should expect it and be okay with it. It sucks to feel bad like that though.

He would understand completely. My mother also passed away from breast cancer, and I am not offended when someone mentions my mom. We understand it is not something obvious to others. On a side note, I hope overall the date went well.
