Today, I went on a date with a girl my friend set me up with. I thought we got along great, until after dessert, when I asked if she'd be interested in doing this again. She just said, "Nahhh" then got up and casually left, stiffing me on the bill. 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, I was going on a blind date with a girl. She walked up to the table, said "Nah, no thanks" and left. 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

Tonight on First Dates

Today, I went on a date that went well, until the bill came and she quickly shoved it in my direction, then went to the loo. Rude, but I thought nothing of it… until our waiter took pity and told me I’m the fourth guy she’s had this week who'd been made to pay for her. I paid half, then went home. FML

Today, I was out on a dinner date when suddenly a girl walks up to us and says to my date, "Girl, you can do so much better." Hearing this, my date looks at me, nods, gets up and walks off. I still had to pay for everything. 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, I was on a dinner date. Went really well. She said she was excited to have date number two. It came to paying. I went up to pay. Turned around. She had gone. Number blocked. 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

Today, I went on a date with a guy who seemed to be quite the gentleman. I was proven wrong when he told me to "shut it" during dinner, stiffed me on the bill, and then left me at the restaurant so he could get his own taxi home. FML

What the hell 32? 'Hardwired into our DNA?' Are you nuts? Not every woman wants to be a stay at home mom and not every man wants to be some woman's personal ATM machine. You also forgot about the gay people so not everything is done with the goal of procreation in mind. Why should chivalry still exist? Treat anyone nice, be they man or woman; you shouldn't get preferential treatment just because of your sex. Being a woman is no reason for a man to pay for their food just like being a man is no reason for a woman to do anything for him.

Send her an invoice with her half of the bill. And a surcharge for being a bitch.

Hey, on the bright side you now can take other girls on date.

FYL for her being a bitch...but YDI for the paying thing. As a guy who's been there, just take it as a life lesson and move on.

So, you were expecting OP to get up as well, leaving the bill unpaid? That would make things worse. She left him there. What else could he have done?

No no. I expect him to pay and take it as a life lesson. :)

Why is everyone hating on the date? Kinda sucks for you op, but you asked and she answered honestly. Would you rather her politely keep dating you forever?

Because she didn't have to be so rude about it? She didn't have to end the date so abruptly? She didn't have to assume OP would pay for her? She could have said 'sorry I don't think that would be a good idea' or 'no thanks, I don't think it would work out', split the bill and left. Clear she doesn't want to see him again but not being a dick about it.

I hate when people say shit like that. "No I'm not being a bitch/dick, I'm only being real." No, asshole, you're being a bitch/dick. You don't have to act like that to be honest or truthful; it seems that people just use that a really shitty excuse to be rude when they feel like it.

She was obviously unimpressed and he obviously missed the signs. She *could* have been a huge bitch and said a lot of really mean, hurtful things about what she thought of op and his cluelessness. She said no and left after dinner AND dessert.
