Today, I wrote a poem for this guy I am falling for. Before telling him that I wrote it, he read it and then laughed at how "corny and stupid" it was because he would "never date someone who could come up with something that lame." The poem was about how vulnerable he makes me feel. FML

It's cool that you had the guts to gave him a poem you wrote yourself, but you really shouldn't write about how vulnerable someone makes you feel. And they're a little overdone, making them even more corny. Not everyone appreciates poetry though.

most guys dont like poems specially love poems you should have just told him how you felt its not that hard

It just makes you sound pathetic.. People want confidence not someone whining about feeling vulnerable..

Oh, I just love how considerate and polite men across the world are. I hope you kicked that scumbag's **** off. He gives us all a bad rep.

Seriously what a tool. It's not bad to give a guy a poem it actual shows you care and have feelings and tht you put effort and thats hard to find in someone. Maybe that just wasn't the right time to give him it? You should have waited till you guys were closer or you guys had a strong connection or something most likely he would have appreciated it a little more

you could pretend to agree with him, and try to ask what he likes to do or try to get to know him better.

It may have been full of cliches. It sounds like that subject can be prone to over used phrases. When I look at you..... And our eyes meet...., my heart throbs with a love so fiery and deep.....

I personally would be weirded out and just laugh if someone gave me some sappy love poem about their vulnerability. I would't laugh to their face but I don't take silly stuff like that seriously. Some people, men and women, don't like sappy/love poetry, me included and you just picked the wrong way to approach him. If you're really emotional (you sound like it), take your poetry seriously and want a guy that understands that just move on because he's not that guy. you cant call him an asshole because he doesn't like sappy poetry everyone is into different things.

Guys like that give the rest of us a bad name. If a girl did that for me, I would be flattered that she took the time to write her feelings about me. Keep looking OP, you will find a guy that will treat you right. :)

If he was that way, then he couldn't be the guy for you. That just means you weeded out one of the bad ones before you fell too hard and got hurt more severely. My boyfriend wrote me a poem himself when we first got together, and we make a year in a week. You'll know him when you meet him. When it's time, there will be no mistake :)

Honestly that might scare most guys away. Just go to him and tell you how you feel, don't write it in a poem because that's a little cheesy
