Love, Money, Coworkers and First Dates: Great date night

Great date night

By Anonymous - 24/03/2022 06:01

Today, a coworker invited me out for a date, totally out of the blue. I had no idea she liked me, but I did my best to impress. She ordered the most expensive steak on the menu, two bottles of wine, and eventually picked up and went home with our waiter. I got the bill. FML

Today, I went on a date. I took her out to an expensive steak house. When she was done eating, she got up, said she was married, and told me she only accepted the date because I'd be paying for it. FML

Today, after what I thought was several weeks of flirting with a coworker, I asked her out on a date. She asked if it could be a double date, and I said yes. I brought a friend, she brought her husband. FML

It's a trap!

Today, I agreed to go to a restaurant because I hadn’t really been listening and thought everyone was planning a coworkers night out. It wasn’t until the guy who had invited me turned up at the restaurant in a suit that I realised it wasn’t a group event, I’d accidentally agreed to a date. FML

Today, I took a friend out for what I thought was date. After dinner was over and I paid, she pulled the bill out and wrote her name phone number on it for the waiter. FML

Today, my date unexpectedly brought her friend to dinner with us. They seemed bored of me after ten minutes and left me out of their conversation for the rest of the night. Oh, and they made me pay for both of them. FML

Today, my boyfriend brought me to a restaurant on a surprise date. I guess he didn't know that my ex-boyfriend now works there, and that he would be our waiter for the evening. FML

Today, I invited my girlfriend to go eat out, hoping to put her in a really romantic mood. She decided to tell her friend, who then invited herself and another couple along. I ended up being made fifth wheel, and had to sit alone at an adjacent table. FML

Meat is murder

Today, I went on my first date with a girl I have been infatuated with for months. At the restaurant, the waiter came while she was in the bathroom. I ordered steaks for both of us. Turns out, she is vegetarian, and doesn't like it when men are "overly aggressive." She called me a cow murderer. FML

Today, I had a date with a girl I've liked for a while. We went out to a nice Italian restaurant for dinner. I was obviously going to pay, but when the bill came I realized I'd forgotten my wallet. When I told her, she thought I was a cheap liar and now she won't answer my calls. FML

It sounds like you got date scammed. Why on earth would you pay for something like that? Let her pay for her own part of the meal!

Idk, it's common to expect a guy to pay for a first date. I would, but I also wouldn't spend a lot of money, and I would only do it if I really liked the person and expected a second date, which I might pay for.

While I expected my boyfriend to pay if it is expensive that's a red flag.. I had my husband take me to CiCis pizza for our first date.. cheap and I could eat as much as I wanted..

Its not really that common to expect the guy to pay anymore though, like, 70 years ago sure but not for a while.

You should have refused, paid for your own meal, and left her there to fend for herself. Since it's too late to do that now, send her a copy of her half of the bill to reimburse you. If she won't pay, mention small claims court and reporting her to HR.

I think she just saw free meal written on your forehead. either she had no romantic interest or your company was that bad that she saw the meal as payment for putting up with you lol
