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 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.

I highly doubt it was because he couldn't afford somewhere better. I am sure he receives the salary we all know he does. He's smart to not take you somewhere really nice on the first date. He knows you know he's a doctor and are probably expecting something fancy of him and he wants to see who you really are. He's a smart man in my opinion. If you turn out to be second date worthy you may see that fine dining. ;)

So, you only cared for his money and for him to take you out to fancy dates?

Yes, Docs are cheap. I worked for one once and he was CHEAP.

Just because he's a doctor doesn't mean that he has loads of money. Like many others have already stated, he probably has a lot of school loans to pay back. Someone else also stated that he could have been on-call and wouldn't have wanted to take you out somewhere nice only for it to be interrupted. He probably has a fancier date planned for a later time. If you like him, the place where the date takes place shouldn't matter.

Always ask what to wear before a date. Saying "Should I get dressed up?" would have made it easier.

He probably owes a lot of student loans. Don't judge.
