Today, while on my first ever date, I ordered a really hot curry, hoping to impress my date. "Yeah," I said smoothly, "not everyone can handle spicy food." When I took a bite, my eyes watered, my mouth burned, and I had to plead for water in between moaning like a dying baboon. FML

Impressive, dude

Today, I was on a first date at high-end Indian restaurant. I tried to impress my date by ordering the spiciest dish on the menu, only to find out it was way too hot for me to handle. I ruined the entire meal by coughing, choking, and drinking five gallons of water with tears streaming down my face for at least 40 minutes. FML

I'm on fire

Today, on a first date, I finished eating my sushi, feeling proud to have managed chopsticks so elegantly and then rubbed my eye, oblivious to the fact I had just touched some wasabi. What followed was a classy exhibition on how to jump around screeching in pain. FML

Today, as a big fan of spicy food and a huge challenge seeker, I decided to try the hottest burger I could order. Despite being warned by a waitress, I went for it. After eating a third, I had trouble breathing from the spiciness. The waitress was smirking. FML

Cook out

Today, to impress my date with dinner, I spent hours prepping and cooking. Just as I was about to serve her, I realized I'd left the stove on and my kitchen was on fire. As the fire trucks arrived and my date looked on in horror, I couldn't help but think, "My cooking is so hot it literally set the house on fire." FML

Today, my boyfriend made dinner. He warned me that it was spicy, but I laughed at him and said that white guys don't know spicy. Five minutes later, I had to beg for milk, with my eyes streaming and nose pouring. Turns out I was wrong. FML

Today, I went on a blind date. Everything was going great until I laughed so hard at one of his jokes that I snorted, choked on my drink, and accidentally slapped his face while trying to cover my mouth. We didn't order dessert. FML

Today, I went on a date with someone I really like. Midway through dinner, I felt something stuck in my teeth and, trying to be discreet, attempted to remove it. In the process, I flicked a piece of food across the table and it landed in his drink. He looked at it, then at me, then sighed. FML

Today, I went on a date for the first time in months. Over dessert, my date told a joke, and I tittered vigorously, causing me to choke and throw up all over him. FML

Today, I was on a double date at a restaurant with two friends of mine and a guy I really liked. Things started getting really quiet so I decided to start talking to make things a little bit less awkward even though I was eating. I ended up spitting a piece of chicken across the table. FML

Toxic waste

Today, I was on a first date with a girl at a lake. I felt my stomach rumble and knew I couldn’t make it to shore, so I dropped into the water and had violently diarrhea in the water. It started to bubble, and so I started splashing around, saying, “It’s cold” while she swam around me, in my shit water. I’ve never told her. FML

I didn't know being able to eat spicy food was something that can be considered impresive.

YDI. Don't bite off more than you can chew just to impress someone.

I really hope you didn't actually drink water. That would just make it worse. Milk is the way to go

Yes milk would be better but water doesn't make it worse

Plain bread cuts the heat pretty well. Why we have crackers and rolls with our gumbo back home.

...since when do girls really care if you like spicy foods? And why would you try to impress her with that? That's so stupid YDI

I honestly can not figure out why he thought that it would be impressive. I myself can't handle spicy food so if a date did that then the goodnight kiss would go out the window.

Aaaaaaaand yet another FML that makes me click YDI as soon as I see "Hoping to impress" or another sentence of the like.

Rookie mistake followed by an amateur choice for beverage. Water can't alleviate spicy food, only milk or yogurt... But let me tell you something, the only way for this to have been worth it is if you made her laugh... I'm not talking giggle, I'm saying laugh out loud... If that experience provided comedy I guess you're not out of the game yet...

Ah don't worry. I was driving my first date to dinner and she goes, "Wow this is a really nice truck" and so I said, "Well watch this" and stomped my pedal to the floor and lost traction and spun off the road. Luckily nobody was hurt (and my truck was fine).

You know who isn't impressed by eating spicy food? Women. Also curry gives you super horrible breath and farts, even if you were man enough to handle it, so even if it'd worked, you would've failed to seal the deal. Next time you do this to yourself, plain white rice, sugar, milk, or yogurt *actually* help calm down your weak-ass white person tongue and not make it worse, like water does.
