Today, after dating a guy for 2 months, things seemed to be going well. I offered to buy dinner and trusted he would keep in mind that I'm a college student on a budget. He picked the restaurant, ran up the bill over $100, made me pay, and dumped me right after. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went on a dinner date with the guy I like. He ate all his food then started eating off my plate, going on to eat over half of my food. When the bill came, he made me pay for it. 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
Today, I went to a restaurant with my boyfriend. After dessert, he went to the bathroom so I quickly called the waiter over and paid the bill, thinking it was a nice gesture. When he returned, he broke up with me for "emasculating" him. FML
Today, I went on a date at a restaurant with a guy. When he promised I wouldn't have to pay the bill, I didn't think he meant we'd be dining and dashing. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy that I have been crushing on for 2 years. At the end of the date he tells me that he is moving away and as his going away present, I could pay for dinner. FML
Today, my boyfriend wanted to take me to a movie after days of not seeing me. This long-awaited date involved me paying for food and my movie ticket when he ran out of cash again. He then dumped me as we left the theater walking to his car. Yes, I financed my own breakup date. FML
Today, I went on a date, the first one I've been on since my last boyfriend broke up with me 6 months ago. We were at a restaurant, and at the end of meal he insisted on paying the bill. He wanted to leave a 15% tip but couldn't work out in his head how much to leave. The bill was for £100. FML
Today, my date mugged me, just minutes after I paid our bill at the restaurant. FML
Today, my date refused to pay for my dinner, even though he promised to beforehand. It turns out, he assumed I would just be ordering a salad for dinner, "based on your slim figure". FML
Today, I told a guy that I only see him as a friend. He ordered separate checks because, “I’m not giving boyfriend benefits to a girl who won’t make me one.” I hadn’t brought my card because he always pays for my meal. The restaurant held my phone as collateral until I Ubered 10 miles away to get my card. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe you should have stood your ground about which restaurant then and spoke up before he ordered. Sounds like you just expected him to pay instead. He didn’t make you pay when you were the one who said you’d be paying. It is still douchey to dump you after though.

I mean, unless he ditched as soon as he was done eating and left her with the bill knowing how expensive it would be. Either way he's obviously a giant asshole.

You have been dating for two months and what have you guys been doing? I'm pretty sure money was spent on previous dates by him or else you wouldn't feel the need to treat him to a dinner. Why whine about one hundred bucks when he most likely have spent even more on you?

You offered to pay, if he picked the place you still have a voice to say "I dont think I can afford there!" And if you STILL went, you STILL have the voice to say "I have about $XX dollars, lets keep it below please!" It's called COMMUNICATION! Do not assume, do not expect. Talk to one another, even while dating. Even new dating. Stick up for yourself. Again, even though you did offer to pay, you can also say NO if its too much!

I love how lots of people here dump their shitty sexist assumptions on everything involving dates and paying.
