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 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

To all the YDI comments, the reason men paid for dates, was because men were the ones who were allowed to have jobs, and it was a sign that he could support her. We now live in a society where we all are expected to get jobs, so we should all expect to pay for things. The social expectation that I pay for you, when I can barely afford to support myself, with my temporary, minimum wage job, is outdated, short sighted, selfish, and rude. So in your mind, men just need to "man up" and front the cash for your self entitled ass? What, in your mind, am I getting in return? Your company? And if so, is my company worth nothing? If you think so, your not worth it, in my eyes.

I work and have supported men I have dated before. I am not self entitled. I realise that society has changed and yes women can work now. But it's still chivalry is dead long dead. I was raised very old school and think that many of today's society need to take a page from the old school ways. Be a gentleman and pay for the damn meal if you ask a lady out and if you can't afford to take a lady out don't ask her. Or hell take her somewhere freeeee. I.e a park. I am not saying you have to pay for anything. But if you ask her to go on a date with you. I don't think it should be outlandish thought if she thinks you'll pay.

There are far too many stupid dating trends that people blindly follow, simply because that is always the way it has been done.

Good thing i live in a Country were you can only be made responsible for the stuff you eat. I would have paid my food and give the Restaurant all data i have on her so they can get her for diner dashing. Unless i agreed to pay for her in beforehand of course.
