Today, the priest was handing out red roses after church. The woman ahead of me asked for a rose. The priest said, "Sorry, we are only giving them out to single women since they didn't get any for Valentine's Day." Then he hands one to me. This was the first time I have been to that church. FML

My theory, like others have said, is that he wanted to be polite, and since he didn't know you, and didn't know if you were single or not, opted to give you one rather than asking you if you were single. Usually that's not something a priest would ask, and sounds more like someone wanting to date you would ask. Besides, if you're new he wants to be friendly and nice. And on that note, ignore #4. Church is wonderful.

I don't see how it's terribly offensive. Besides, I'm sure he announced ahead of time that they were giving roses to single women.

#26.....candles are nice, but how about some lacy underwear and heating up the massage oil while you're at it?

Your negative mind is making this offensive. If i understand your story correctly he knew that the woman wasn't single and you were standing close to them while he said that. He probably assumed you knew that you had to be single to get a rose since he saw you were within ear range when he explained it to the woman, yet you didn't back up, he didn't know if you were single or not and expected you would refuse if you were. Thankyou! /bow

"So? What else would he have done? "Today, the priest was handing out red roses after church. When I approached him, he asked if I'm single. This was the 1st time I have been to that church. FML"" [2]

He was probably just giving them out to everyone who seemed depressed.

I am suspicious. I kinda wonder if a priest would really use the term "get any".

Please, please telling you're making a terrible joke... If your not, he was talking about getting any roses... work on your mental perspective there
