Today, I texted the girl I'm going to homecoming with in a couple days to say hi. The conversation started OK, but then morphed into her saying that she doesn't feel anything between us, and wants to stop being friends after the dance. I have to buy her dinner and a ticket, out of my own wallet. FML

Today, I got a text from a girl that I've had a crush on for a long time, asking me out to dinner. I agreed and went to the restaurant. Not long afterwards, I got text from her saying something had come up, so she couldn't make it. As I was walking back to my car, I saw her walk into the same restaurant with another guy. FML

Today, I was texted out of the blue by a girl I treated to dinner last year. Since then, we'd chatted and met in passing a few times, but she'd turned down or cancelled all my other date invitations. Sadly, she wasn't trying to meet up. She wanted $500 to benefit a male friend, who was down on his luck. FML

Today, I went out with a girl, I paid for the drinks, and thought everything went well, even though I didn’t make a move, I guess I wanted to take it slow. I texted later to invite her to a private beach next week, only for her to reply that she’s not gonna be available for the next few weeks because her boyfriend is coming to visit. FML

Today, this girl I've been talking to texted me, saying she was going to visit. Trying to be sweet, I bought her $50 worth of chocolate and a cute card. Turns out she meant to send that text to her ex. Seems like the only thing I'll get from this relationship is diabetes. FML

Today, the girl I've had a crush on for a year finally said she'd go out with me. On the way over to pick her up, she called me and said she couldn't go because she was going out to dinner with her ex-boyfriend to talk things over. She asked if she could use the reservations I had made. FML

Today, I was on a date with a girl I've had feelings for since I was 14 (I'm 22). I took her out to dinner, then to a movie that we both liked and had a few drinks afterwards. I thought it was going really well until I was driving her home and she asked to be dropped off at her boyfriend's house. FML

Today, I asked a girl I like to homecoming. I brought her to my house beforehand for dinner with my family. My brother asked her whether we were just friends or dating, she shouted, "Just friends!" and then starts flirting with him with me in the room. FML

Today, after seeing a girl for a few weeks on and off I sent her a text to see if she wanted to go out the next saturday. Predictive text changed "go" to "in". So..."Why don't we in out on saturday?" She stopped calling me. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend of a year out on a date, a nice fancy dinner and a movie. After dinner, I said that I was feeling sick and just wanted to go home. I didn't have the heart to tell her that dinner was so expensive that I didn't have money for the movie. FML

Today, the girl who'd asked me to prom told me she assumed we weren't going together and is now going with her friends. After agreeing to go with her, I'd bought a $200 non-refundable suit along with the ticket. I have no one else to go with. FML

Or tell her you aren't feeling this dance with her and don't pay for her.

Sorry op, but really you don't have to... Find someone who respects you!

If she wants to stop being friends after the dance, you should probably just stop being friends before the dance and save some money. Seriously. What's she gonna do. Stop being friends with you because of it?

Yeah... just don't take her. You don't *have* to, especially for somebody like that. FYL that she's a bitch, but if you buy her ticket and meal that's a choice so just don't.

YDI. She's not your girlfriend. Yes she was blunt but she doesn't owe you anything. It seems that you were already paying for everything and expected a relationship in return.

I see your point. but I mean...If I were in their position I would kind of assume they had some sort of interest considering they said yes to being my date for something

She doesn't owe him anything just like he doesn't owe her anything. Going to the point of not being friends....AFTER the dance is a bitchy thing to do, she's taking advantage of him to get free food and entrance.

Who said she ows him anything? This seems like he likes her and feels upset because up to the point things were going fine and then this happened. Like the previous response said, asking to stop being friends AFTER the dance just means she's using him, and that's plain bitchy. Get the hell out of here with your feminazi shit.

I would think that most people would at least expect a continued friendship.

you don't HAVE to do anything. trust me. unless you are dating this broad for a good chunk of time you won't even remember her name. if another person who actually respects you can't fill her slot by the dance then just go with a group of friends. but don't ruin your night and waste your money on some rude girl. not worth it imo

Sounds like someone you're better off not knowing anymore, op. Go solo and treat yourself to dinner! Trust me, that would be much better than spending your money on someone who sounds like she just wants to impress other people and benefit from their validations.

Just don't take her out... Find some real friends to go with you and actually respect you. Or save money by not going...

In what way are you obligated to take her to homecoming? At least she told you upfront and didn't screw you over afterwards.

Is this some sort of blind date? Just run. Homecoming dances aren't even all that, you could have a better time with a small group of friends at your place or even a cuddle night with a girl that actually likes you. If you go through with this after what was said, YDI...
