Today, my date threw a fit, burst into tears, and made a huge scene in the middle of a crowded restaurant, all because I offered to pay. FML

Izamellayella tells us more.

I just now realized that this was posted, and, yes, I do realize that it was more than two months ago. He was actually my friend's old roommate, and she introduced us around a year ago. We didn't really interact that much but I thought that he was nice, so when he asked me out, I decided that I'd at least give him a chance. For the record, it wasn't some elaborate ultra-expensive fancy restaurant, but the meal certainly wasn't cheap. I've been in the habit of offering to pay for my meals for a while now, and I certainly wasn't expecting that kind of reaction for him. And no, I don't think that the guy paying for the date is sexist. I don't see why the girl can't pay sometimes, though, and I was just trying to be nice. If he'd wanted to pay, he could have told me instead of freaking out like that. He never called me back after that, but even if he did, I wouldn't have gone on another date with him. I enjoyed reading your comments! Most of you guys are really funny.

Good for you for offering to pay. You obviously deserve better though.

She sounds crazy. If she didn't want you to pay for her dinner, she should've just said so instead of freaking out on ya'. How do you think she'll react when a "real" problem arises??

leave them In the ghetto. then hopefully you never see them again

I'd just like to say thank you for being polite enough to offer. I don't mind paying whatsoever but too many women don't even bring money as they expect not to pay. With my ex I'd usually pay for dinner then she'd buy some drinks a the bar afterwards, that works nicely :)

I would offer to pay (I always do, even with my parents now that I'm married they still insist to pay but I always offer!). I find it nice when the guy insists on paying, but I in no way expect it, unless it's the "dress nicely, I'm taking you on a surprise date" type of thing where it's clear they are doing it all, but a "let's go out to dinner" I always offer to at least pay my half.

Not a man, you'll be better off without him.
