Today, I was asked out by a friend of mine. He's a doctor and works at a prestigious hospital, so thinking we would eat somewhere special, I got all dressed up. We ended up eating at his hospital's cafeteria, because he gets a small employee discount. FML

Today, a very attractive man asked me out. I'd have been flattered if I weren't the nurse assigned to his laboring wife. FML
Today, I asked my doctor out on a date. He had his nurse turn me down. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he was going to take me out somewhere special, so I called in sick for work. Turns out he had made reservations for the restaurant I worked at. FML
Today, a coworker invited me out for a date, totally out of the blue. I had no idea she liked me, but I did my best to impress. She ordered the most expensive steak on the menu, two bottles of wine, and eventually picked up and went home with our waiter. I got the bill. FML
Today, my husband came home from the hospital after having painful surgery, so I decided to make him a nice big breakfast. As I was taking it up to him, I heard a message on the phone. It was from one of his nurses. She was accepting his offer of a date. FML
Today, my cute coworker begged me to cover his shift tomorrow, and told me that he wanted to take me to dinner to make up for it. I was very excited because I've been crushing on him for a long time. I later overheard him tell his friend that he didn't plan on showing up for our dinner. FML
Today, I had an important job interview. The interviewer really seemed to like me. Instead of hiring me, he asked me out on a date. FML
Today, I was out to dinner with a friend I had a crush on. The whole time, he was flirting with the waitress while I was trying to get him to notice me. When we got the check, he looked at her and said, "She's not my girlfriend, I only go out with pretty girls. So, can I have your number?" FML
Today, I finally got the courage to ask out the guy I've liked for a long time. He's a cashier at a grocery store. It was about 1am and I was his last customer, everything seemed just right. Just when I was about to ask him to the movies, a drunk girl stumbles in and asks him out. He said yes. FML
Today, after what I thought was several weeks of flirting with a coworker, I asked her out on a date. She asked if it could be a double date, and I said yes. I brought a friend, she brought her husband. FML

Well you might think he would take you somewhere special, but just because he didn't doesn't make him a bad person. There won't be fancy dining and wining all the time. Is he a resident on a smaller salary or fully licensed already? Maybe the man had to be on call later so he couldn't put all the juice into it he wanted to. You never know.

I'm sure he has a shitload of medical school student loans to pay off.

It's the small things that count :) he's willing to show you off at work which is a big deal for guys anymore!! Take some pride in the fact he's conservative about his budget too :)

So much why YDI: 1. Doctors have crazy schedules, everyone knows that. He probably couldn't risk going out to a real restaurant for a few hours and having to ditch you at the table because he got called in. Refusing to come in during an emergency because of a date would make him a former doctor with a crapload of med school loan payments; would you rather have that? 2. Be thankful he's not the type of guy who throws his money around. 3. He must not be a very close "friend" if you've never heard of how much of a cheapskate he is or where he's taken other dates. 4. Don't be such a snob. Hospital cafeteria food can be some of the best food in town, it's cheap, and he was probably going to introduce you to his work friends. Until he saw you grimace at the location and meal that is. 5. It doesn't matter where you are with friends as long as you're having a good time. Since he was already a friend, it shouldn't have mattered where he took you as long as you had fun. 6. He takes pride in his workplace and likes being there. What's wrong with that? 7. It doesn't matter how much money you make, a discount of any size is a good thing.

Wow..if its a date then the doc Better show up. And who cares if he's got tons of loans..we all know doc will spend their entire life paying off debt. If he wants to get in her pants, he better starts taking girls to a decent place and not cafeteria food. Comon now

He could have $300,000 in loans to pay off and that's all he could afford for two

That's what you get for thinking you're so important. At least he tried; though after your behavior, I wouldn't ask you out a second time.

Did you remember your wallet, or did you assume he was paying?
