Today, the guy I liked for years asked me out. I instantly said yes. As I was walking away, I forgot I was at the top of the stairs and fell down 20 steps. He stood at the top and laughed. FML

Today, the guy I've been seeing told me he did not want to pursue a relationship with me after over 2 months of talking. He did the exact same thing to me 7 years ago. I fell for him twice. FML

Today, I was dumped by the guy who serenaded me with his guitar and admitted he had feelings for me. Why? Because the girl who had continuously been rejecting him for so long finally decided to give him a chance. FML

Today, a guy I had developed feelings for broke things off with me, giving me a version of the “it’s not you, it’s me” line. This was the first person I had liked/wanted to date in almost 8 years. I think I’m destined to be alone. FML

Today, I realized that the guy that I've liked for the past 7 months is actually a girl. I've told all my friends about how much I like him, but no one bothered to tell me that he's actually a girl. FML

I've liked someone that long but I sure as hell didn't wait for them. We've seen a lot of other people in that time but still haven't had the chance to be together =

Soooo in 8 years he's never even seen you before? (otherwise he would have already have known you were taller).

Wow.... I can understand a girl dumping a shorter guy, a guy dumping a taller girl? If he's that dumb, you can find someone far better. I know it sucks now, but you'll be ok. Happy hunting.

Why is it okay for someone to dump someone smaller than them, but not taller? Or, if that wasn't your point, why is it okay for the girl to break up with him, but not him with the girl?

Haha, what? You've presumably known each other for the past 8 years, and he just NOW notices you're taller?

Ahh, nevermind. I think I understand what's going on. Obviously he had a change of heart in going out with her, so he just came up with an excuse.

i'm in 8th grade so idk if this matters but I'm going out with a girl 5.11 and I'm only 5.8 and it is a little intimidating but nothing to dump someone for...it's not like they can help how tall they are

Today, after about a year of keeping it a secret from my girlfriend, I told her about my foot fetish. She said "EWWWWWWWW!" and left. She's ignoring my calls and has changed her relationship status to single on Facebook. FML

Today, I woke up from a night of serious depression, drinking by myself at home, to find a USB stick wrapped in plastic up my vagina, with "Top secret" written on it. There was nothing on the stick when I checked. I may need to give tequila a rest and switch back to gin. FML

Today, I was riding in the backseat while my mom was driving. Noticing she was driving way over the speed limit, I opened a police siren app on my iPod to make her slow down. When she realized, she pulled over, kicked me out of the car and made me walk home. FML

Today, I found out that I'm going to be a mother. This was a mystery, since I take birth control and use condoms all the time. Or, at least, it was, until my mother admitted to swapping my pills and poking holes in my condoms so she could have a grandchild before she died. FML

Today, in the gyno's waiting room, I was the only non-pregnant woman. One of the women made a remark saying, "Wow look at you, the only one not experiencing morning sickness, gas, and cramps" and laughed. Little did she know I just had my third miscarriage last week and would die to experience those things. FML
